HURRAH!

I have it working. I googled the hexadecimal number thing from below (0x80070020), and found a microsoft page saying that this can be caused by antivirus software. I turned off Comodo antivirus and voila, NUnitTests.nunit is working and all tests are green! I probably need to tinker with the antivirus settings rather than just turn the whole thing off, but at least now I know what the problem was!

Thanks,

Ronnie Mukherjee

Hi 
Ronnie,
 
It's best to 
try with the version you will be working with - but watch out for mixing 
them
in your 
own projects. When not sure about any project, just remove all 
nunit.*.dll
assemblies 
from the bin directories and start over. Remove any nunit 
references
and re-create 
them pointing to the install you actually want to use.
 
Provided you 
don't have any mixed copies of NUnit assemblies, it works 
equally
well when 
installed with the msi or executed directly from a 
source-controlled
directory - 
just make sure all references are to the same copy of NUnit 
that
you will use 
to run the tests.
 
Charlie

  Sorry Charlie I think I was getting frustrated and have confused 
  myself.

The version I currently have is 2.4.1. This is controlled by 
  source control, so I have just copied an nunit folder from our central 
  repository and am running the gui from there.

Earlier today I had 
  downloaded 2.4.7 and was trying with that. If you think it would be better to 
  download 2.4.7 again and remove the source controlled version then I can do 
  so.

The 2.4.1 version was downloaded by a colleague a while ago, but we 
  haven't really been using unit tests up to now. However I have a big project 
  starting soon so would like to try and get it sorted before then, through the 
  source controlled version or 
  otherwise.

Thanks

Ronnie

    Is 
    2.4.1 in the message a typo? If not, you appear to have multiple versions of 
    NUnit
    mixed 
    on your system. Multiple installs of NUnit may co-exist provided copies 
    of
    the 
    assemblies are not left around in out of the way places. 
    Unfortunately,
    Visual 
    Studio has a habit of doing just that.
     
    Charlie

When I try to open NUnitTests.nunit in the GUI, I get the 
      following error message :

System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 
      'test-utilities, Version=2.4.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or 
      one of its dependencies. The process cannot access the file because it is 
      being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 
      0x80070020)

Thanks

        The message is a 
        fairly generic one from .NET and can't be used to 
        solve
        any problems - the 
        details count, particularly what "blah" is.
         
        If you are unable to load an assemby that 
        is designed to be loaded and run
        independently, that's a problem we should 
        try to solve. Only a few of the 
        test assemblies that come with NUnit are 
        intended to be run that way, so
        it's not necessarily a problem that you 
        can't run nunit.util.dll.
         
        Were you able to run 
        the NUnit verification tests after install? You 
        get
        them by loading 
        NUnitTests.nunit, which provides the proper 
        config
        file for the 
        individual assemblies.
         
        If you are able to run the verification 
        tests, then you are properly
        installed and we need to get into the 
        details of a particular project.

          [Nunit-users] ...being used by another process


          Hi 
 
Sorry for posting on a problem which 
          has already been posted about, but I'm getting that message "blah.dll 
          is being used by another process", etc. 
 
I've tried 
          removing all references to Nunit and reinstalling. Rereferencing in my 
          project, etc. 
 
I'm using version 2.4.7, by the 
          way. 
 
There are a few dll files in the Nunit 
          directory which I am able to open. For example, I can open 
          nunit.util.tests.dll, but when I run all tests on this assembly, a 
          large handful of the tests fail with that same message "Could not 
          load...etc...being used by another process" 
 
Can 
          anyone please offer 
          advice? 
 
Thanks 
 
Ronnie
