Nunit and TFS Build definitions

Question

In our project we have created Nunit test. Now we want to run these unit test when a teammember checks in his/her code.
I've created a Build Definition but how can I run my Nunit tests?

The builds steps say "Running tests" are passed but I got no test results. Even when I check in failing unit tests the build steps say "all passed"

So, the question: "How can I can Nunit tests during a automatic build with TFS build definitions?"

In my TFSBuild.proj I have the line:

<TestContainer Include="$(OutDir)\NUnitTests.dll" />
where, ofcourse, the .dll is the name of my nunit test project.

Hi Alexander

The build agent invokes MSTest.exe command line tool during a build to run tests. MSTest.exe doesn't recognize NUnit test assemblies. So MSTest.exe doesn't execute any test methods.

To integrate NUnit to a team build, please take a look at http://nunit4teambuild.codeplex.com/. I haven't tried it yet. Hope it can help you solve this problem.
