You probably want to integrate NUnit with TFSBuild and not MSBuild since you are using Team Foundation Server.

You will need MSBuild tasks to be able to run NUnit as explained in the three following tutorials:

The easiest way is to use the MSBuild Community Tasks where you already have a NUnit task ready to be used and you only will need to add a target to your msbuild file like so:

<Target Name="RunTests">  
    <!-- Run Unit tests -->  
    <CreateItem Include="$(OutDir)*.Tests.dll">  
      <Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="TestAssembly" />  
    </CreateItem>  
    <NUnit ToolPath="..\Tools\NUnit" DisableShadowCopy="true" Assemblies="@(TestAssembly)" />  
  </Target>

  • I don't understand your question. Did you read the tutorials? Did you install the MSBuild Community Tasks and try out the NUnit task? – Dennis G Jan 05 '11 at 15:20
  • I installed MSBuild Community Tasks and imported it but i am getting invalid nunit element – Rajesh Jan 05 '11 at 15:40
  • Try the following page (translated from German), it includes Sample code (msbuild file) you can directly run: http://bit.ly/fIpjsz – Dennis G Jan 05 '11 at 16:35
