As part of this release we had 6 issues closed.

This is the first beta release of the TestCentric Gui Runner.

The major change from the alpha8 release is that agents are now loaded separately from the engine. All built-in agents have now been removed from the engine itself. This completes our pivot to using pluggable agent extensions for all tests. At this point, the engine alone is no longer capable of running any tests. It's up to the runner making use of the agent to ensure that at least one agent extension is installed. To put it another way: the runner decides what kinds of tests it is capable of running and in what environments, not the engine.

In this release of the GUI, agents for .NET Framework 4.6.2, .NET 6.0 and .NET 7.0 are included as dependent packages.. The following additional agents are currently available for user installation: .NET 8.0, .NET 5.0, .NET Core 3.1, .NET Core 2.1, .NET Framework 2.0.

This release was built using the first production release of our TestCentric.Cake.Recipe package.

NOTE:

If you install the zip package, you end up with a copy of the GUI without any agents. Before running the GUI, you must install at least one agent.

  1. Make a subdirectory ./bin/addins in your install directory and change into it
  2. Issue a nuget NuGet command for each agent you wish to install

Assuming nuget.exe is on your path, the following commands would install the same agents included in the other two packages:

nuget install NUnit.Extension.Net462PluggableAgent -Version 2.0.1
nuget install NUnit.Extension.Net60PluggableAgent -Version 2.0.0
nuget install NUnit.Extension.Net70PluggableAgent -Version 2.0.0

We plan to remove the zip package entirely in a coming release. See #986
