In TeamCity you can’t use the usual NUnit Runner to run .NET Core unit tests. At least I couldn’t get it to work. I’m sure this will be fixed in the future but for now the below works for me. I got lots of inspiration from this TeamCity blog post.
For this example I’ll use the NConstraints project. It contains a .NET Standard project (SaturdayMP.Constraints) that we want to test and two .NET Core Test projects (SaturdayMP.Constratints.Test and TestClient).

The book was written in 2007 and focuses mostly on marketing using the web but the basic idea applies to any new marketing technology. Just because others companies use dream ads doesn’t mean you need too.
[Read More]While upgrading the NUnitXmarin project the project maintainers asked me lock the version of NUnit to a specific version. They where also kind enough to provided a link to a possible solution. Lets test if it works.
First lets review how NuGet resolves dependencies. If you specify a dependency version the standard way, i.e. just listing the version number with not brackets, NuGet tries to find the version you specified of the next highest version.
