Nunit-console: <TestAssemly.dll>.config files not loaded when using an .nunit project file and --process=Multiple

[chrisalbrecht]

Using a .nunit file to run multiple assemblies and --process=Multiple will no longer attempt to load a <TestAssemblyName>.dll.config file for each assembly, where as versions 3.7 and earlier would.

The command line i'm using is:
nunit3-console NUnitProjectFile.nunit --process=Multiple

My .nunit file is like this:

<NUnitProject>
  <Settings activeconfig="Release"/>
  <Config name="Release" binpathtype="Auto">
    <assembly path="TestAssembly1.dll" />
    <assembly path="TestAssembly2.dll" />
  </Config>
</NUnitProject>

Previously this would result in the respective TestAssemblyN.dll.config being loaded for each test assembly, but this is no longer the case as of 3.8. Now the only config file that is attempted to be loaded is NUnitProjectFile.nunit.config (can be seen in SysInternals Process Explorer during a test run).

This seems to be related to the change in behaviour noted in issue #382.

You are probably right, this is most likely caused by #382 and may be a duplicate.

Adding this to 3.9 alongside #382 - to come back and check

This trouble of .config file not loaded also occurs with 3.10.0 when using --process=separate command line argument. Not specifying the process option dodges the issue. This has been reproduced with this project and the command line nunit3-console --agents=1 --process=separate NHibernate.nunit. With 3.7.0 we were not having the issue.

Same behavior still exists in 3.11.1
