Where can I find the meaning of NUnit console exit codes?

I am getting error message from my MSBuild:

"nunit-console.exe" exited with code -100.

Where can the meaning of the NUnit console exit codes be found?

Solution

  • Error code -100 stands for UNEXPECTED_ERROR

    static ConsoleUi()
{
    OK = 0;
    INVALID_ARG = -1;
    FILE_NOT_FOUND = -2;
    FIXTURE_NOT_FOUND = -3;
    TRANSFORM_ERROR = -4;
    UNEXPECTED_ERROR = -100;
}

    EDIT: Additional information from a thread on the NUnit-Discuss google group:

    Additionally, positive values give a count of failed tests in the run.

    The -100 return code is a catch-all, usually indicating an unhandled exception in your application or test. It should normally come with a stack trace.
