I am running nightly builds using cc.net 1.4.2. I am also using nunit2.4.8. If I force the build manually it works fine but most of my nightly schduled builds fails saying testfixture setup failed. Is this some bug in nunit2.4.8 or something othert thing as I cant find out the reason
R – TestFixtureSetUp failed occasionally while running through cc.net

Is it the same cc.net project being forced that is scheduled to run nightly? If not, there may be a difference in how they are configured. If they are the same, I would suggest adding some logging to the test fixture setup code to see if you can track down the problem. Perhaps there is a nightly task running on the server (backup or virus scan perhaps) that is causing the issue. Another possibility is a task running on another server (taking a database offline for example.) I don't believe this is a bug in NUnit.
