I don't have strong opinions on this topic, but I do have a use case to consider in the conversation. Suppose that you distribute your tests with your program to be run after install. If your tests require that a particular Addin be installed, it would be nice to have an explicit message that told the customer why the tests didn't pass (Addin X Required by NUnit) instead of just having hundreds of tests fail for reasons that might not be immediately clear. Possibly worse yet, all the tests pass and the user thinks all is well because NUnit doesn't recognize the test classes as even being tests without the Addin present. -Kelly ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/
