#764 nunit2 task does not run internal test fixtures
I switched from TeamCitys NUnit Launcher back to the nunit2 task and noticed after several hours of searching why lesser tests are run that the test fixtures must not be internal, they have to be public. Quite annoying because NUnit states on their home page: a test fixture class may be public, protected, private or internal.
Fixed typo in summary.
Nant's nunit2 task uses nunit 2.2.8 and class visibility was opened in 2.5.3 first.
It's on our tasklist to either update nunit or provide some kind of dynamic loading. But for now my only idea is to use <exec> task and run nunit-console. This is also true if you need to test .net 4.0 asseblies. IMHO this is not possible with 2.2.8.
Just to add on to Dominik's comment below...
I did look into upgrading NUnit on NAnt to something more current (2.5.9+) recently but after looking into this, I realized that such an upgrade would require a significant rewrite of the nunit NAnt task since much of the underlying NUnit API has changed drastically since 2.2. Like Dominik said, plans are in the works but they are on hold for the time being.
