.Net Framework tests fails when .Net 8 is present on system
See original GitHub issueI have a project that targets both .Net 7 and .Net Framework 4.7.2.
I installed the .Net 8 alpha for an unrelated purpose, and unit tests for .Net Framework will no longer run.
Using: NUnit 3.13.3 NUnit3TestAdapter 4.3.1 .Net 7.0.102 and .Net Framework 4.7.2
Projects global.json:
{
"sdk": {
"allowPrerelease": false,
"version": "7.0.100",
"rollForward": "latestMinor"
}
}
Installed SDKs
PS C:\r\MyProject> dotnet --list-sdks
3.1.426 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
6.0.100-rc.2.21505.57 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
6.0.103 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
6.0.113 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
6.0.308 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
6.0.405 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
7.0.100-rc.2.22477.23 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
7.0.101 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
7.0.102 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
8.0.100-alpha.1.23059.8 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
Requested version is correctly used
PS C:\r\MyProject> dotnet --version
7.0.102
NUnit to run with .Net 8 anyway?
PS C:\r\MyProject> dotnet test MyProject\Tests\bin\Tests.dll

No test is available in C:\r\MyProject\Tests\bin\Tests.dll. Make sure that test discoverer & executors are registered and platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.
Additionally, path to test adapters can be specified using /TestAdapterPath command. Example /TestAdapterPath:<pathToCustomAdapters>.
Expectation: Tests run with the sdk and runtime defined by the project, regardless of which unrelated sdks might be present on the system.

Ran the test suites on a mixed .Net 7 and .Net Framework 4.7.2-project.
“Works on my machine”
@tkvalvik @madelson Version 4.4.0-beta.1 is out now https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit3TestAdapter/4.4.0-beta.1 . It includes support for .net 8. Appreciate it if you have the time to verify it works as it should. Once verification is done, the non-beta will be published.
