Running nunit-console on a solution file leads to System.IO.FileLoadException

When I try to use nunit-console.exe to run all the tests in a solution file as such:

nunit-console.exe MyProject.sln

I get the following exception (shown below). However when run the console runner on ANY of the projects in my folder structure, the runner works just fine and never gives me the following exception. I also am pretty certain that the version of the nunit library that I am linking to is the same as the runner that I am using. Also, my solution doesn't reference any projects that are outside the directory structure containing my .sln file.

Does anyone have any clue what I can do!? :(

Thanks! Phil

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Try using the Fusion Log Viewer to see what assembly is failing to load. It should tell you not only what file it is failing on, but where it tried looking for that file.

In my case nunit-console.exe did not respect the assembly redirection from web|app.config. unless you provide /domain=multiple

My Problem: EntityFrameworkTesting.Moq -> requests Moq, Version=4.2.1409.1722

I had already a newer assembly referenced.

The solution for me was to add /domain=multiple parameter. see the NUnit docs

So I run:

D:\tools\NUnit-2.6.4\bin\nunit-console.exe %SOLUTION_PATH%\Project.sln /config:Release /framework:net-4.0 /domain=multiple /xml=nunit-result.xml
