NUnit is a unit testing framework for the .NET environment. The NUnit action can be pointed to either run tests via multiple .dll files or through a .NET/NUnit project or solution.

Creating & Editing an NUnit Action
Properties
Name
The name that will be used to identify this action. Note that Name is auto-populated with the file names that are entered in the Files property.
...
When NUnit executes, the output will be stored in this file. Even when specifying multiple files to test, all of the output it put into a single file. [--result]
The output file specified is relative to the agent's workspace so to reference the output directory of the workspace, you only need Output\ (not $Workspace$\Output). However you can still specify an absolute file location such as C:\myOutputFile.xml and the NUnit action will generate the output file in the correct location.
The output file must end in .xml. If it does not then .xml will be appended to the end of the output file.
...
With this checked NUnit will create a separate thread for running the tests.
Project Configuration
When Project Configuration has a value it will run the NUnit tests from either a Visual Studio or NUnit project rather then .dlls. This value tells NUnit which configuration should be used running the project (ie. Debug, Release, etc). This property must be given a value when you are running NUnit against projects. [--config]
Test Fixture
Test Fixture allows you to specify a specific test fixture to execute. You must specify the full name of the test fixture along with the containing assembly. [--test]
For example: Tests.MyTests myProject.tests.dll.
...
Specify which version of the .NET framework should be used when running the NUnit action.
Fail action if any tests fail
If any NUnit tests fail then the build will stop and will be marked as failed. This option only affects failed tests. Note that if a test is errored then the build is stopped and marked as errored, regardless of this option. [--framework]
Using
The Using drop down is populated with any property collector whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the NUnit Actionaction. The pattern for this action is ^NUnit.*
If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue. Example names listed here, search the table's Plugin column for "NUnit".
For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Property Collectors.
Alternatively, you can select the Custom option from the Using drop down list and specify a path in the resulting input field that will be displayed. Please read Why it's a good idea to use a property collector before using this option.
Install NUnit on agent using NuGet
Optionally run NuGet to install NUnit to the agent before running the action. A new NuGet tab will also be displayed with options for the NuGet command line.
Continue with warning if any of the test assemblies are missing or invalid
If this is ticked, it continues with warning if any of the test assemblies are missing or invalid.
NuGet
Install NUnit To
The folder NuGet should install NUnit to.
Sources
A list of package sources to install the NUnit package from. Optional. You can separate multiple sources with semi-colons.
Install prerelease packages
Optionally install prerelease versions of the NUnit package.
Use cache
Optionally attempt to source the NUnit package from the NuGet machine cache.
Using
The Using drop down is populated by any property collector properties whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the NuGet action. The pattern for this action is ^NuGet\..* . The default property collector searches the environment path for "NuGet.exe".
If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue.
For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Managing Property Collectors.
Alternatively, you can select the Custom option from the Using drop down list and specify a path in the resulting input field that will be displayed. Please read Why it's a good idea to use a property collector before using this option.
Options
Additional Command Line Options
Optional - Additional command line arguments which will be passed to NUnit.
Fail action if any tests fail
Tick this to cause the build to fail if any tests fail.
Fail action if any tests error
Tick this to cause the build to fail if an error occurred while running any test.
Fail action if any tests are inconclusive
Tick this to cause the build to fail if any tests are inconclusive.
Timeout (in seconds)
How long to wait for the action to finish running before timing out. Leaving this blank (or zero) will default to 86400 seconds (24 hours).
Treat failure as warning
Tick to continue build on failure marking the action with a warning status.
Ignore warnings
If this is ticked, any warnings logged will not mark the action with a warning status.
Environment
Environment Variables
Multiple environment variables can be defined - one per line. These are set before the command line is run.
Log environment variables
If this is ticked, environment variable values are written to the build log.
Generate system environment variables
Tick this checkbox to set up a list of new environment variables prefixed with 'ContinuaCI.' for all current system expression objects and variables.
Mask sensitive variable values in system environment variables
This checkbox is visible only if the 'Generate system environment variables' checkbox is ticked.
If this is ticked, the values of any variables marked as sensitive will be masked with **** when setting system environment variables. Clear this to expose the values.
