Run multiple test assemblies in parallel with dotnet test and NUnit

See original GitHub issue

We want to run multiple assemblies in parallel with dotnet test and NUnit 3.x. This is no problem using the nunit-console runner, however, in .NET 5 you are supposed to use dotnet test instead which does not seem to have the possiblity to run the given assemblies in parallel.

Note: we don’t want to run the tests within one assembly in parallel, we want to run multiple assemblies that are given to dotnet test in parallel.

Best regards, D.R.

@drauch there is --parallel option, but I see it is missing from the help.

dotnet test C:\t\nunit-parallel\nunit1\bin\Debug\net6.0\nunit1.dll C:\t\nunit-parallel\nunit2\bin\Debug\net6.0\nunit2.dll --parallel

And also --logger:"console;verbosity=detailed" to see easier how tests are executing, but it will mix the output.
