Re: NUnit XML Output

TestResults.xml seems to imply the output of the user tests that are running. If your issue is with how NUnit is running the tests can't you capture its internal events as Charlie suggested? From glancing at the source there appears to be several extension points. If you think something is failing at a very low level before you can setup the listener in code perhaps NUnit could be configured to look for a special event listener Type in App.Config and raise events to that. That might give you access to things like issues with initialize any static objects NUnit might be using. log4net writes output through the System.Diagnostics libraries and/or Console.Writeline when its internal debug mode is activate.

I will have to disagree here. The log is the log and the test results
are the test results. IMO they are two separate things.
TestResults.xml is pretty much a summary of the test run.

I would focus on a previous conversation which indicated that for this
"real-time" logging we need some sort of different mechanism of output
where interested parties could look at. You wouldn't need to look at
it all the time, (I mean a mysterious test failing out of the sudden
is not a usual behavior I would hope)

Just my opinion ...
