Configuration Files

Normally, a configuration file used to provide settings or to control the environment in which tests are run, should be given the name as the assembly file with the suffix ".config" added. For example, the configuration file used to run nunit.tests.dll must be named nunit.tests.dll.config and located in the same directory as the dll.

For multiple assemblies specified by a project, such as an NUnit or Visual Studio project, the same rule is used unless command-line options are used to load the project assemblies into a common AppDomain. In that case, the name of the project file is used, with ".config" added. For example, the command

    nunit-console MyProject.nunit /process:Separate /domain:Single

would make use of the config file MyProject.nunit.config.
