Quick Start Guide Needed

[JasonAtDrumBrae]

Could we please have a brief outline of how we put together a GUI Runner using all the components, assuming for example you have built with NUnit 3 on .NET 6. In the past it was a simple case of clicking on the gui runner executable and then using it to load the assembly that was generated from the NUnit project. How do we do this now?

It's definitely needed and I'll try to get to it soon.

In the meantime, if you can describe the particular problem you're having, I'll try to answer you here. Start with which package you are installing and what happens when you do click on the runner.

Okay, so I have built a reusable test framework for testing silicon products based on NUnit 3 and then I consume that test framework to generate a test suite for a product.

I have found that if I use .nuget\packages\testcentric.guirunner\1.6.4\tools I can't use it to load my dll and execute tests. I've no idea why.

I had not noticed until now that you are asking this in net60-pluggable-agent repo.

"Pluggable Agents" is one of the big features added to version 2 of the TestCentric Gui and Engine. In version 1, you get only the built-in agents, which go up to .NET 5.0 in 1.6.4. Bottom line... .NET 6.0 cannot run in 1.6.4 as released.

The next upgrade version is currently in Beta (2.0.0-beta1), so one possibility is to use that.

Otherwise, you'd have to modify and build version 1 yourself. It's not a terribly big job for an experienced programmer. I'm afraid I'm not inclined to spend time on version 1 now that v2 has gone through 8 alphas and 1 beta release but if somebody created a working PR I'd merge it. :-)

If you want to try modifying it, I'll point you to the right places in the code.
