When I create a stage that includes nunit tests, it doesn't matter what sort of stage gate options I set or if there are no options, it will not execute the next stage. I tried to set a series of stage gate settings
a) No criteria
b) Setting the unit tests passed greater than or equal to a known value that should pass.
c) setting the unit tests to allow failures.
Couldn't get anything to allow the next stage to run. In this case I had a series of non fatal unit test failures (environment issues).

What actually happens when the build stops. Do you see the stage gate message about metrics or something else?

The build just seems to skip the 3rd and final stage with the last timeline log entry “Build Failed” (within the Unit test stage). There is nothing in any of my tests reporting on the reason behind the failure. It looks like nunit tests failure are a hard coded failure point within the Continua build process.

To put this in context I’m working on mixed architecture unit testing. Where OS is x64 or x86 and the application is x64 or x86 and automation of other products that might be mixed architectures (think MS Office data drivers). So it would be ok to build a x86 edition if those unit tests passed etc.

the action defaults to fail if any unit tests fail, however you can turn off that option if desired.

I've tried with and without the Nunit configuration Check Box " **Fail action if any tests fail**", both block the stage gate evaluation. Is this the setting your referring too?
Here are my settings for your review.

Yes, that’s the option. I thought you were concerned with the build failing. If that option is off, and you remove the conditions from the stage gate after the current stage, does that stop the build? That doesn’t sound right… will look into it if that’s what you are seeing?
