NUnit 2.6.2 TestContext.CurrentContext始终为null

Question

I'm trying to use the TestContext.CurrentContext of NUnit 2.6.2 but it's always null.

What I would like is to have an output with the result of tests, but if I run the following code I always get a NullReferenceException in the TearDown method. All the properties inside Test and Result are throwing the exception.

[TestFixture]
public class UtilitiesTests
{
  [TearDown]
  public void TearDown()
  {
    //using console here just for sake of simplicity. 
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}: {1}", TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.FullName, TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Status));
  }

  [Test]
  public void CleanFileName()
  {
    var cleanName = Utilities.CleanFileName("my &file%123$99\\|/?\"*:<>.jpg");
    Assert.AreEqual("my-efile12399---.jpg", cleanName);
  }
}

What I'm possibly doing wrong?

According to this discussion you have to make sure you execute with the correct version of the NUnit testrunner. The version has to be NUnit 2.6.2.

Try to run your tests with nunit-console with the correct version.

Update: I did set up a new project in VS2012 and added NUnit 2.6.2 and NUnit.Runners 2.6.2 using NuGet. With the Resharper Testrunner I did get no error but also no Console output, so I did run NUnit.exe from <project-folder>\\packages\\NUnit.Runners.2.6.2\\tools\\

This is the output I recieved:

The result looks ok. I ran your example code above.

However, I had to modify your code so I could run it:

using System;
using NUnit.Framework;

[TestFixture]
public class UtilitiesTests
{
    [TearDown]
    public void TearDown()
    {
        //using console here just for sake of simplicity. 
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}: {1}", TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.FullName, TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Status));
    }

    [Test]
    public void CleanFileName()
    {
        var cleanName = "my &file%123$99\\|/?\"*:<>.jpg";
        Assert.AreEqual("my &file%123$99\\|/?\"*:<>.jpg", cleanName);
    }
}

You should try to run your tests using NUnit.exe again, but before verify that you have the correct verison in Help -> About NUnit ...

Mine looks like this:
