Today I feel like the most retarded guy on planet earth. I have just wasted half a day trying to get R# to run my unit tests. The tests simply does not even start so they don’t fail either.
A check of the output window shows that there is a possible chance of a FileNotFoundException which I thought was bullshit. I had a look at the settings for R# Unit Test and no there was nothing that I could do to make it work. Since I AM a smart guy usually (I am just feeling a bit stupid today) I decided to make all exceptions throw so that I could at least find some sort of trace or hint of where the problem actually occurs.
Ctrl+Alt+E takes you to the Visual Studio exceptions settings where I turn everything to throw and then I start debugging the unit tests. After a good few clicks some interesting exceptions shows up. It’s a FileNotFoundException and it looks like this:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException occurred

InnerException:
Well interesting, it turned out that it was actually me being stupid. I was positive this had nothing to do with R# but the level of retardness does not stop here! I go back to the R# settings and look for somewhere to change the path to nunit but can’t find anything so I rename my d:\apps\nunit folder to match the one I couldn’t find and try again and now my unit tests run perfectly. I decided the bloody thing had messed with me for the last time! Going back to the settings for Unit Tests in R# I am faced with the following picture:
Now where the heck is that darn setting??? I open up the resharper.user file in notepad2 and search for nunit and at the bottom I found this:
<UnitTestRunnerNUnit>
<NUnitInstallDir>D:\Apps\NUnit 2.5.2\bin\net-2.0</NUnitInstallDir>
<UseAddins>Always</UseAddins>
<UseSpecifiedNUnit>True</UseSpecifiedNUnit>
</UnitTestRunnerNUnit>
Now I can change this to the folder where it is REALLY located and that is great when it hits me. I remember changing this in resharper for some stupid reason and I also remember that I did so within the Resharper Unit Test section of the options. While navigating back and clicking on nunit I am looking at the following picture:
Either I am mentally retarded or that part of the ReSharper options is so pick your choice.
