Release Notes

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 2.0.0-alpha5 - May 14, 2022

This release includes major revisions to the UI. There is no longer a Test menu. Rather, all test execution is performed through the toolbar or the context menu. The toolbar now contains buttons for running all or selected tests, repeating the last run and running only failed tests.

Note: The selected (highlighted) test item in the tree is now referred to as the "Active" item. This is the item for which any detailed information is displayed, as in the properties tab, for example. If Checkboxes are enabled, the checked items are referred to as "Selected" for running. If they are disabled, or if no items are checked, the "Active" item is also considered as "Selected".

Reflecting changes in the TestCentric engine, there are no longer built-in agents for .NET 2.0 and .NET Core 2.1. These will be provided by separately installed extensions. The .NET 2.0 Pluggable Agent extension is already available and used in our tests. The .NET Core 2.1 agent is being developed.

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 2.0.0-alpha1 - June 30, 2021

The 2.0.0 release is the first major upgrade of the TestCentric Gui. It includes a number of breaking changes as well as new features.

Significant Gui Changes

  • The ProcessModel and DomainUsage menus have been eliminated.

  • A new Select Agents menu allows the user to choose a non-default agent when more than one is available for a particular assembly.

Significant Engine Changes

  • In-process execution of tests and the ProcessModel package setting are no longer supported. Each test assembly is now run in its own separate process.

  • The DomainUsage package setting is no longer supported. The runner itself decides whether an AppDomain should be used when running on a particular platform.

  • All test execution is now performed by agents, which are usually separate local processes. Agent selection may be automatic or user-specified using a package setting.

  • It is now possible to create "pluggable agents" by use of a new engine extension point. Currently, this capability is limited to local process agents, but it is intended to be extended to other agent types in the future.

  • Services are now initialized when they are first accessed through the service context rather than at startup.

  • There is no longer a .NET Standard build of the engine.

  • The metadata assembly is now a separate package, which is used by the engine.

  • X86 builds of .Net Core agents are no longer provided, since they are not needed.

Breaking Changes

  • 664 Replace AppDomain and Process with "Agent" from user perspective
  • 656 Pluggable Agents
  • 665 Eliminate ProcessModel setting
  • 657 Eliminate DomainUsage option
  • 444 Eliminate in-process execution

Features

  • 697 Agent Redesign
  • 694 Remove x86 build of agent for .NET Core
  • 693 Stop building engine for .NET Standard
  • 689 Remove DomainManager as a service
  • 684 Make metadata assembly a fully independent package
  • 678 Create package for use by pluggable agents

Enhancements

  • 715 Make dependencies of one service on another explicit
  • 677 Update AboutBox for 2.0 release
  • 666 Issue an error message when user provides an obsolete project setting. Ignore in project files.

Bugs

  • 719 Crashing Testcentric on trying to change Process Model to X86
  • 707 ResultHelper.Aggregate doesn't count warnings

Build

  • 729 Allow creation of draft and production GitHub releases for pre-release versions
  • 725 Upgrade NUnit framework to 3.12
  • 716 Provide test doubles for all services needed for testing.
  • 700 Use the GUI to run its own tests
  • 699 Create separate test assembly for nunit.agent.core
  • 682 Build script should check files for valid headers

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.6.2 - March 24, 2021

This release was made to fix a critical bug.

Issues Resolved

  • 673 Show CheckBoxes does not work

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.6.1 - January 17, 2021

The main change in this release is that the InProcess option is disabled when the loaded tests cannot all run in the Gui process under the .NET Framework 4.x and would otherwise cause an error.

This is intended to be the last release in the TestCentric 1.x series. The next release, version 2.0, will contain breaking changes including the elimination of the InProcess option as well as of all DomainUsage options. In future, the use of AppDomains in platforms that support them will be treated as an implementation detail outside the control of the user.

Issues Resolved

  • 658 Restructure or rewrite runtime framework detection code
  • 661 InProcess menu item should be disabled if any .net core tests are loaded.

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.6.0 - January 10, 2021

The main feature of this release is the addition of an agent for running tests under .NET 5.0. Since the runner itself targets the .NET Framework, this feature is only available when tests are run out of process. By default, tests targeting .NET 5.0 will run under that agent, provided that .NET 5.0 is installed. The File menu also allows running tests built for earlier versions of .NET Core under .NET 5.0.

Issues Resolved

  • 593 GetExecutingAssembly() returns the path of appdata folder instead of actual location
  • 640 Review tests of Dialogs
  • 648 misaligned Force Stop button
  • 651 Add a .NET 5.0 agent to the build
  • 653 Export Draft Release for use in CHANGES file and on website

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.5.3 - December 23, 2020

  • 616 Improvements to the Release Process
  • 617 Migrate "master" branch to "main"

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.5.0 - December 8, 2020

This release includes one major new feature. The Stop button now triggers a non-forced stop, running all teardowns. It then gives the user the option of a forced stop in case the run does not terminate. In addition, it incorporates major build improvements, which will make it easier to do more frequent releases in the future.

Issues Resolved

  • 374 Implement two stage Stop, first trying non-forced and then letting user select forced stop.
  • 599 Automatically update website
  • 602 Add CodeQL analysis to the build
  • 605 Results not being cleared in tree for each new run

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.4.1 - September 3, 2020

This is primarily a bug fix release, the exception being the use of our own metadata assembly which is being published as a separate nuget package for use by others.

Engine

  • The Mono.Cecil package is no longer a dependency. A new assembly incorporates Mono source code and provides the specific introspection features needed by the engine.

Issues Resolved

  • 577 Carry CurrentDirectory over to agent processes
  • 579 1.4.0 Unhandled exception
  • 585 Metadata Assembly
  • 595 InvalidCastException, "Properties" context menu entry

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.4.0 - April 30, 2020

This release introduces execution of .NET Core tests along with .NET Framework and adds several other smaller features.

GUI

  • The NUnit Project Editor may now be launched from the GUI. A Settings page has been added to allow specifying an alternate editor.

  • The Runtime menu allows overriding the version of .NET Framework or .NET Core to be used, provided that the version used is compatible with all loaded assemblies.

  • The project configuration (e.g. Debug or Release) may be set individually for each loaded project, through the GUI test tree context menu.

  • Package settings are now displayed in the Test Properties Dialog for tests that correspond to a package.

Engine

  • Tests targeting .NET Core 1.1 through 3.1 may now be executed in the GUI. The GUI can simulataneously load .NET Framework and .NET Core test assemblies.

  • .NET Core tests communicate with the GUI using TCP. .NET Framework tests continue to use remoting.

Issues Resolved

  • 218 Support editing projects through the project editor
  • 453 Execute tests under .NET Core
  • 478 Review and update engine creation logic
  • 484 Recognize .NET Core as available and display in GUI runtime menu.

  • 570 Support project configs
  • 572 Display Package Settings in TestPropertiesDialog

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.3.3 - April 17, 2020

This release corrects a critical issue whereby engine extensions were no longer being recognized by the GUI. Additional package testing, including use of extensions, has been added to prevent regressions.

Issues Resolved

  • 551 Automate Release Process
  • 558 ReportPortal addins to TestCentric
  • 560 Support the NUnit engine API
  • 562 Expanded package testing prior to release

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.3.2 - March 15, 2020

This release corrects a new bug found in the 1.3.0 release and makes a number of improvements in the automation of the release process.

Issues Resolved

  • 428 Update assemblyinfo automatically
  • 525 Create a nuget organization for TestCentric
  • 534 Automate packaging and deployment
  • 540 Support for unattended execution of the GUI
  • 542 FIXED: Default process model for 32 bit v1.3.1

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.3.1 - March 6, 2020

This release corrects a critical problem in the 1.3.0 release. None of the 1.3.0 packages included agents for use under .NET 4.0 and higher. This release adds those agents.

Issues Resolved

  • 535 FIXED: Cannot load test assembly after 1.3 update
  • 536 Restructuring the build.cake script
  • 537 FIXED: Missing files in Release 1.3.0
  • 538 Add package checking tasks to build

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.3.0 - February 23, 2019

General

  • A NuGet package is now available on nuget.org. While we continue to recommend use of the chocolatey.org package for most developers, because it provides a central installation point for use with all projects, a number of users requested a nuget package as well.

    NOTE: Whichever installation package you use, you should install any needed extensions using the same package source.

GUI

  • The runtime selection menu is now disabled when tests are being run in process, since no other runtime is available within the GUI process.

Engine

  • The UserSettings service is no longer part of the engine but is handled directly in the GUI. This is not considered a breaking change, since the engine is not yet released separately from the GUI.

  • A new PackageSettings service has been added to the engine. Its job is to analyze all packages, examine assemblies and set default parameters for executing them.

  • A pair of agents are provided for .NET 4.0 in addition to the existing .NET 2.0 agents. In addition, the engine is now built for both runtimes and agents use the appropriate version. The GUI itself uses the 4.0 engine.

Issues Resolved

  • 457 Remove UserSettings from the engine
  • 466 Update Copyright headers in all files
  • 475 Engine Tests will only run in process under GUI
  • 476 Eliminate use of Mono.Cecil from engine core assembly

  • 513 Modify logic of TestAgency to initiate correct agents
  • 514 Upgrade engine to target .NET 4.0
  • 517 Net40 engine.core build
  • 518 Create agent process executable for .NET Framework 4.0 and higher
  • 522 Update nuget and chocolatey packages
  • 523 Create a nuget package for the GUI
  • 528 Chocolatey package should use TestCentric icon
  • 526 Update nuget package
  • 531 Create tasks in build script for publishing packages

  • 380 Automate testing of packages
  • 388 FIXED: NUnit process with multiple assemblies will not load

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.0.0 - July 27, 2019

General

This is the final release of version 1.0 of the TestCentric Runner for NUnit, which is primarily based on the layout and feature set of the original NUnit V2 GUI runner with internals modified so as to run NUnit3 tests. Certain changes were made because of differences in how NUnit3 works and are described below under Features.

This new GUI runner was created by the TestCentric team: Charlie Poole, Mikkel Bundgaard, Manfred Lange, Stefano Nuzzo and Robert Snyder. Community members who contributed code to this release include Jeff Kryzer, zBrianW, Joseph Musser and Mattias Karlsson. Countless other folks contributed by filing issues, asking questions and making suggestions.

Features

  • TestCentric relies on the NUnit engine to load and run tests. Features that require an engine extension are only available if the appropriate extension is installed. In particular, this includes the ability to open both NUnit and Visual Studio projects, run NUNit V2 tests and save results in V2 format.

  • All direct access to NUnit project contents, such as editing, saving and adding configurations, has been removed. The user should use a separate editor such as the NUnit Project Editor to perform those tasks.

  • Because the GUI runs under .NET 4.5 or higher, any tests that you cause to execute in-process will run under that version of the framework. In some cases, this may give different results. By default, tests are run in a separate process and use the target framework for which they were built. We recommend you stick with the default.

  • The File menu no longer has entries for Load Fixture or Clear Fixture. New menu items to select Process and AppDomain options for loading have been added and the corresponding Settings pages removed.

  • The Project top level menu has been removed since it was mostly used to contain entries related to NUnit projects. The "Add Projects" entry has been replaced by "Add Files" on the File menu.

  • The Tools menu no longer has entries for Exception Details or Test Assemblies. The Open Log Directory entry has been replaced with Open Work Directory.

  • The Result Tabs (Errors and Failures, Tests Not Run, and Text Output) may no longer be hidden. The Text Output tab only displays Console output and the ability to tailor it's contents has been removed with the exception of the option to label tests by name in various ways.

  • Version 0.15 of the Experimental GUI is included.

Known Problems

  • TestCentric uses the test id to select individual tests to be run. This is not currently supported by the V2 framework driver, which throws an exception when an id filter is encountered. The result for the GUI is that it is not possible to select individual tests for execution if any V2 framework tests are loaded. For that reason, we recommend that you only use this release for NUnit 3 tests. This problem will be fixed when a new version of the V2 driver is available, which includes support for an id filter.

Issues Resolved

  • 7 Credit for all contributors
  • 8 Icon and Logo for TestCentric
  • 224 FIXED: Appveyor build doesn't use generated identifier to tag packages
  • 375 Clean up GUI About box
  • 378 Ensure that error message displays when exception is thrown in engine

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.0.0-Beta4 - July 17, 2019

General

This is the fourth beta release of the TestCentric Runner for NUnit. While it is still beta, it is feature-complete. Since the actual execution of tests is done by the NUnit engine rather than the GUI itself, it's probably reasonable for developers to use this on the desktop, provided their CI is based on a stable production-level NUnit runner, such as the NUnit 3 Console Runner or the NUnit 3 VS adapter.

Features

  • Version 0.14 of the Experimental GUI is included.

Issues Resolved

  • 368 FIXED: Arguments to --process option for GUI don't match NUnit console.
  • 369 Merge Options classes for two GUIs and move to common assembly.
  • 370 FIXED: Beta3: unhandled .net exception

TestCentric Runner for NUnit 1.0.0-Alpha1 - August 3, 2018

General

This is the initial alpha release of the TestCentric Runner for NUnit. It is not yet recommended for use in production work.

Features

This GUI runner resembles the NUnit V2 GUI, but since it runs NUnit 3 tests the internal implementation is entirely new. In addition, features not available or not easily supported in NUnit 3 have been removed. Some key differences from the V2 GUI are...

  • The GUI itself targets .NET 4.5, rather than 2.0.
  • We use chocolatey as the primary distribution method for the GUI. This makes extensions that are also installed through chocolatey available when running under the GUI. A zip file is also provided.
  • Displaying tests as a flat list of fixtures is not supported.
  • Merging tests in the same namespace across assemblies is not supported.
  • The GUI no longer understands the layout of NUnit project files, which is taken care of by the NUnit test engine. Consequently, menu items relating to creating, editiong and saving such files are no longer present.
  • The ability to open project files, including NUnit and VS projects, is dependent on the presence of the approprate engine extensions, which are not bundled with the GUI.

Issues Resolved

  • 1 Select Target Framework for the GUI
  • 2 Review of Initial Upload
