Re: Visual studio doubleclick on failed test

Hi Jay,

NUnit doesn't really do anything to get VS to display the output.
It just produces debug output as the test is run and if a debugger
is attached, you get to see it. So running as a post-build step,
you don't get the output in VS.

There are other ways to attach a program for viewing trace output,
but I imagine it's the VS integration you are looking for. That
won't be available until a future release.

BTW, running NUnit as a post-build step is a clever idea that
many of our users have come up with independently, and which
as been written up on several blogs. It's NOT how we thought
NUnit would be run under VS, however, which may explain why
it doesn't work as smoothly as you would like. The alternative
approach is to run NUnit as the debug program for your
test assembly.
