[Nant-users] Strange behaviour of NAnt+NUnit2

[Jaroslaw Kowalski]

I have an application that I compile for both net-1.0 and net-1.1. For my unit tests I'm linking to binary NUnit.Framework.dll that is provided by NAnt (as in the following snippet)   -------------- <copy file="${nant.location}/NUnit.Framework.dll" tofile="${outdir}/NUnit.Framework.dll" /> <csc ...> <references>                                       <includes name="${outdir}/NUnit.Framework.dll" /> </references> </csc> ----------   One of my tests relies on ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[] to get some configuration. When I compile it on net-1.1 and run <nunit2> on it I get this strange error when getting some setting.   Error loading XML file c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705\Config\machine.config Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.StrongNameIdentityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed. (c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705\Config\machine.config)   When the DLL is compiled for net-1.0, the test runs just fine.   Digging through the internet I've found a solution: I had to swap the two <supportedRuntime> lines in nant.exe.config file, so that v1.1.4322 is before v1.0.3705:   ------------------------------------------     <startup>         <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />         <supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />     </startup> ------------------------------------------   Now the tests compiled with net-1.0 and net-1.1 run just fine (which is big a surprise to me as I don't understand this behaviour)   Is it a bug in NAnt or NUnit - or maybe a Microsoft general versioning problem? Can some MS guru explain this behaviour?   Maybe an option is needed that will force <nunit2> to run under specified runtime? Maybe it should make use of nant.settings.currentframework?   Jarek BTW. NUnit-console.exe and nunit-gui.exe themselves have similar problems. I had to modify <startup> section to make it run under net-1.1.
