I use Nunit3 packages and it all works fine on my local PC. Also I have local executable on agent with type Nunit runner and path:

${bamboo.build.working.directory}\src\packages\NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.4.1\tools\nunit3-console.exe

I've checked the agent and located the file on disk, so I have no other ideas how to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Bamboo still doesn't support NUnit 3, follow the link to the issue tracking it.

There is already a StackOverflow answer on how to get it working, How to run NUnit Runner in Atlassian Bamboo with NUnit 3
