I am trying to set up a build machine and want to run nunit (on several relatively big and dynamic solutions) from a batch script. I ran the following command lines

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.1\bin\nunit-console-x86.exe" "C:\MySolutionPath\MySolution.sln"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.1\bin\nunit-console.exe" "C:\MySolutionPath\MySolution.sln"

Both gave a System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException:

   at NUnit.ConsoleRunner.Runner.Main(String[] args)

To me it looks like it is looking in the wrong folder: 

C:\MyProjectPath\bin\x86\Debug\MyAssembly.dll

should be

C:\MyProjectPath\bin\Debug\MyAssembly.dll

Is there a way to specify this in NUnit (or if must be in the solution)?

You can pass the test assembly path as parameter instead of the solution file:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.1\bin\nunit-console-x86.exe" "C:\MyProjectPath\bin\Debug\MyAssembly.dll"

    I don't want to do this. I have hundreds of them. I want it to dynamically find the projects of a solution then perform the tests based on this. – André C. Andersen Oct 23 '12 at 14:06
  • @AndréChristofferAndersen It looks like it treats a solution file like a project file. I am not sure what you are trying to do is possible. Maybe you can use [NUnit projects](http://www.nunit.org/index.php?p=projectEditor&r=2.2). – Ufuk Hacıoğulları Oct 23 '12 at 14:20
  • It might be that I am misunderstanding. I assumed that I could make nunit-console.exe run all unit tests associated with a solution file. Might be that my question is evolving to: "How do I run all nunit tests in a solution from the a command line". – André C. Andersen Oct 23 '12 at 14:34
  • @AndréChristofferAndersen That would be more accurate. – Ufuk Hacıoğulları Oct 23 '12 at 14:35

    I have been looking in to it and it looks like you are supposed to be able to run a solution file (sln) with nunit-console.exe. I removed the problems I had with the DirectoryNotFoundException by setting up the projects to run on "Any CPU". Now I have a different problem. A problem for tomorrow. Thank you for your time Ufuk. – André C. Andersen Oct 23 '12 at 15:35

Don't know if this can be done, but I think that most build servers can do this for you. TeamCity can do that, and I believe others can as well. TeamCity is great and free (up to a certain project limit).
