NUnit failed to load, using version 3.11

When I lower to 3.10 it works and am not sure why it's stopped for latest. Everything I try is not working.

This is what shows in the output. I tried many of the options found online, but nothing seems to be helping:

[13/03/2019 17:10:44 Informational] ------ Run test started ------
[13/03/2019 17:10:45 Informational] NUnit Adapter 3.13.0.0: Test execution started

[13/03/2019 17:10:45 Informational] ========== Run test finished: 0 run (0:00:01.6716706) ==========

I created a basic test to confirm too, here:

Imports NUnit.Framework
Imports Should

<TestFixture()>
Public Class UnitTest1

    <Test()> Public Sub TestMethod1()
        Dim b As Boolean = False
        b.ShouldBeFalse
    End Sub

End Class

I tried removing TestFixture, renaming it to TestClass (but I need to use NUnit!)

So strange... it doesn't help that I have a project in the solution that does work, and I can't find any difference.

I even tried to create a new empty project... but that doesn't even work on any version of NUnit (but I think I will raise that as a separate issue).

Problem found, for some reason, the Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework flag "Copy Local" was set to false for my project.

When i change this to true my tests are now being picked up and running : )

Version 3.10 didnt seem to need this, which is why when lowering version, it started working again.

(I didnt think having this flag set would effect running local)
