JetBrains Resharper 9 Ultimate Test Runner error: NUnit.Core.UnsupportedFrameworkException: Skipped loading assembly {MyAssembly}

This seems to be an error with the JetBrains Resharper 9.1 Ultimate Test Runner referencing an older version of NUnit. I am using NUnit 3.0 in my assembly.

[Window Title]
Unit Test Runner

[Main Instruction]
Unit Test Runner failed to run tests

[Expanded Information]
at NUnit.Core.Builders.TestAssemblyBuilder.GetCandidateFixtureTypes(Assembly assembly, String ns)
at NUnit.Core.Builders.TestAssemblyBuilder.GetFixtures(Assembly assembly, String ns)
at NUnit.Core.Builders.TestAssemblyBuilder.Build(String assemblyName, Boolean autoSuites)
at NUnit.Core.Builders.TestAssemblyBuilder.Build(String assemblyName, String testName, Boolean autoSuites)
at NUnit.Core.TestSuiteBuilder.Build(TestPackage package)
at NUnit.Core.SimpleTestRunner.Load(TestPackage package)
at NUnit.Core.ProxyTestRunner.Load(TestPackage package)

at JetBrains.ReSharper.UnitTestRunner.nUnit.BuiltInNUnitRunner.RunTests(IRemoteTaskServer server, Dictionary`2 tests, Dictionary`2 fixtures, List`1 explicitly, Boolean useAddins, List`1 assemblies)

EDIT: Problem goes away with upgrade to version 10 of Resharper.

Going into the ReSharper v10 Options screen, under Tools | Unit Testing | NUnit, there is an option setting for When to use NUnit 3 test runner. Setting this to Always resolved the problem for me. The error message shown above no longer appears after making this change.

As mentioned in the accepted answer, ReSharper 9 does not support NUnit 3. The solution as stated does work (i.e. update to ReSharper 10), however, for those who do not have this option (e.g. licensing), you can downgrade your version of NUnit by following the below steps:

  1. Open Nuget Package Manager Console by going to Tools -> Nuget Package Manager -> Package Manager Console
  2. In the console that pops up (usually at the bottom), under the dropdown for "Default project:" choose the test project you wish to downgrade
  3. Run the following commands Uninstall-Package NUnit followed by Install-Package NUnit -Version 2.6.4

Your tests should now run using ReSharper 9.

What worked for me (VS 2015):

1) installed NUnit Test Adapter 3.2

2) opened Test Explorer: VS -> menu Test -> Windows -> Test Explorer

3) ran test: In Test Explorer window (if no test, rebuild solution) selected test to run, right clicked and "Run Selected Tests"

voila I can see the test in Test Explorer window and select one and debug it.

As mentioned in the other answer, the real fix is to upgrade to ReSharper 10. But if you can't do that, you can disable ReSharper 9's unit-test functionality and fall back to Visual Studio's built-in Test Explorer.

To do this:

  1. Choose the ReSharper > Options... menu item, go to the Unit Testing panel, and uncheck the Enable Unit Testing box.
  2. Restart Visual Studio.
  3. Use the Test > Windows > Test Explorer menu item to display Visual Studio's Test Explorer.

As Yousefi mentioned, this is fixed by updating to version 10 of ReSharper. I had the same issue and that resolved it.
