March 2014 in Visual Studio for Mac Tools for Xamarin I could be missing something really straightforward here but I cannot for the life of me get an nUnit project to build in XS on Mac. Creating the same project on XS in Windows is not a problem - only on the Mac (which is running Alpha updates for the University courses). Extension for Visual Studio - NUnit 3 adapter for running tests in Visual Studio. Works with NUnit 3.x. For running NUnit 2 tests, use the NUnit 2 adapter.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.
I can't seem to get NUnit tests to run on our Mac build agent using VSTS
Here are the build steps I am using in VSTS:
Note, Test assemblies is disabled because the Mac build agent does not have VSTest.exe. In the options menu, there is no way to completely remove the need for VSTest so I cannot use that step on the mac build agent.
Is there a way to run NUnit tests in the MSBuild step?
Things I have tried:
- Install NUnit test adapter in Visual Studio
- Install MSBuildTasks + Nunit MSBuild task (Not sure how to use it)
As a last resort, I can add a shell script to run nunit-console on the mac build agent, but I would prefer to avoid that. The reason the build agent needs mac os x is because we're building an iOS and Android app with Xamarin.

Nunit Visual Studio 2017
Test assemblies are created, but I can't get them to run

The instruction for how to use MSBuild tasks for NUnit can be found here: NUnit3 or NUnit. You need to update your project file to import the tasks according to this: Get Started and then add the NUnit MSBuild tasks into your project file. And you can also add an Exec Task in your project file to call NUnit console to run the NUnit test.
