Re: NUnit runner for 2.4.7 on Linux/Mono

Hi Chris,

I run all the NUnit tests under Linux (Ubuntu) before releasing
using the Windows runner. It has some issues, but they seem to
be mostly cosmetic. Have you tried it?

The NUnit runners never look for references to any classes in
the NUnit framework. Instead, they use reflection to find references
to attributes with the expected name - like
"NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute".

NUnit doesn't expect to find the attribute defined in your test class,
but it does expect to find it used by you. If you point me to the
part of the code that gave you this impression, I can explain further.

I'd love to start a subproject to create a new runner for Linux - perhaps
using code from gnunit - but I need some volunteers. :-) Should we
start one?

Charlie
