A Gulp.js plugin to facilitate running NUnit tests on .NET assemblies. Much of this work was inspired by the gulp-nunit plugin.
From the root of your project (where your gulpfile.js is), issue the following command:
npm install --save-dev gulp-nunit-runnerThe plugin uses standard gulp.src globs to retrieve a list of assemblies that should be tested with Nunit. By default the plugin looks for the NUnit console runner in your PATH. You can optionally specify the NUnit bin folder or the full path of the runner as demonstrated below. You should add {read: false} to your gulp.src so that it doesn't actually read the files and only grabs the file names.
var gulp = require('gulp'),
nunit = require('gulp-nunit-runner');
gulp.task('unit-test', function () {
return gulp.src(['**/*.Test.dll'], {read: false})
.pipe(nunit({
executable: 'C:/nunit/bin/nunit-console.exe',
}));
});This would result in the following command being executed (assuming you had Database and Services Test assemblies.)
C:/nunit/bin/nunit-console.exe "C:\full\path\to\Database.Test.dll" "C:\full\path\to\Services.Test.dll"Note: If you use Windows paths with \'s, you need to escape them with another \. (e.g. C:\\nunit\\bin\\nunit-console.exe). However, you may also use forward slashes / instead which don't have to be escaped.
You may also add options that will be used as NUnit command line switches. Any property that is a boolean true will simply be added to the command line, String values will be added to the switch parameter separated by a colon and arrays will be a comma seperated list of values.
For more information on available switches, see the NUnit documentation:
http://www.nunit.org/index.php?p=consoleCommandLine&r=2.6.3
var gulp = require('gulp'),
nunit = require('gulp-nunit-runner');
gulp.task('unit-test', function () {
return gulp.src(['**/*.Test.dll'], {read: false})
.pipe(nunit({
executable: 'C:/nunit/bin/nunit-console.exe',
options: {
nologo: true,
config: 'Release',
transform: 'myTransform.xslt'
}
}));
});This would result in the following command:
C:/nunit/bin/nunit-console.exe /nologo /config:"Release" /transform:"myTransform.xslt" "C:\full\path\to\Database.Test.dll" "C:\full\path\to\Services.Test.dll"Below are all available options. With the release of NUnit 3.x, some options have been removed and some added. Version specific options have been labeled with the version they apply to. For more information on deprecated options see here. For more information on new options see here.
