Running NUnit tests against .NET Standard assembly causes System.IO. FileNotFoundException for nunit.framework
I have a solution with a .NET Standard 1.4 library and a .NET Core 2.0 test assembly, set up according to the NUnit documentation, and it works perfect on Visual Studio for Windows. On Visual Studio for Mac however, the test runner throws an exception:
ERROR: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'nunit.framework' or one of its dependencies File name: 'nunit.framework'
I've fiddled, tweaked, googled, asked this on Stackoverflow:
But so far no resolution...

Thank you for your feedback! I cannot reproduce the problem using Visual Studio for Mac. For us to investigate this further, could you please provide:
- A small repro solution.
- IDE logs (Help - Open Log Directory).
- Information from the About dialog - Show Details page.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Hi Matt
Thanks for your feedback. I've created a repo with the repro:

Seems to be a problem with Visual Studio for Mac 7.4. Visual Studio for Mac 7.3.3 works without any problems.
Hi Matt
Yes, I can confirm that everything works now that I have rolled back to 7.3.3
Thanks
Adrian
Is there any way to log this as a bug with the VS team, or have you done it already? I don't want to be stuck on 7.3.3 forever...
Thanks
Adrian
I have already fixed this bug since it was a regression in Visual Studio for Mac 7.4 compared with the previous release. It should be fixed and available in Visual Studio 7.4 at some point. The fix is currently being tested by QA before being added to the release branch.
Thank you for your feedback! We have fixed the problem in an upcoming release. Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio!
