Notes: The tests I am attempting to run are NUnit tests, and I have installed the NUnit package and the NUnit 3 Test Adapter package to the project that is being built


Solution

  • As a workaround to this issue I have used the Batch Script task in VSTS to execute a batch script that executes NUnit Console (available here). The batch script to achieve this simply looks like:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" {Path to your project}\YourProjectName.csproj
    

    In order to track the results of testing in VSTS, I simply added the Publish Test Results task and pointed it to the TestResults.xml file generated by NUnit Console.

    Although different than the Run Functional Tests task that uses a test agent, this method fulfills all of my testing needs (with fewer headaches).
