Unfortunately, because most of what we build with our CI server are .Net applications, we are very dependent on a number of plugins to shim between our .Net world and the more Java orientation of Jenkins. One such plugin, that I’ve grown quite fond of, is the NUnit Plugin that does transforms between NUnit’s test result output and the JUnit format that is used for the built in Test Result Trend Graphs.

After adding NUnit3 to our build server and wiring up our NAnt scripts, my test builds began to fail with ‘No NUnit test report files were found.’
