NUnit3TestAdapter 3.8.0-alpha1 Could not find symbol provider type Mono.Cecil.Pdb.NativePdbReaderProvider

[michael-x]

When setting

<DebugType>Full</DebugType>

the test adapter does not discover tests anymore. In dotnet test I get a message

Could not find symbol provider type Mono.Cecil.Pdb.NativePdbReaderProvider

Unfortunately full debug information is currently required by OpenCover in order to get coverage information.

Thanks, should be an easy fix. I didn't include the native PDB reader because I didn't think it was needed, but I didn't think of your use case.

Any news on this issue? Any info is much appreciated.

I solve it by adding reference to "Mono.Cecil".

<PackageReference Include="Mono.Cecil" Version="0.10.0-beta6" />

env:
netcoreapp2.0
NUnit3TestAdapter 3.8.0

Referencing that version of Mono.Cecil works for me too. Will this be included in a future version of NUnit3TestAdapter?

[rprouse]

We copy Mono.Cecil into the adapter NuGet package. We did that for two reasons, first, we use different versions for running .NET Framework tests and for .NET Core tests. The second reason is that Mono.Cecil 10.0 is still pre-release and NuGet raises warnings when a non-pre-release package depends on a pre-release package.

Hi @rprouse - I see that you've added Mono.Cecil into the package. Strangely enough, even though it's the same version as I've referenced (0.10.0-beta6), the test runner (console or through ReSharper) doesn't pick up the unit tests if Mono.Cecil isn't added as a NuGet reference, as @jiaxuyang mentioned. At least, that's what I'm experiencing...

Adding the reference to my test csproj worked for me

This was fixed in #454 and is available now at https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit3TestAdapter/3.10.0.
