如何在没有 Visual Studio 和源代码的情况下运行 NUnit 测试？

Question

I am very new to Unit-Testing.

I have a solution with C# project. I added to it a new NUnit project and added some tests.

I can run my tests using Test Explorer of Visual Studio, and even using Command-Line in the developing platform:

D:\Project\GuiTests\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1>dotnet test GuiTests.dll

I want to do a similar thing, but on a testing platform, which does not have Visual Studio and the source code.

I want to copy there only the tests folder (ie D:\Project\GuiTests\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1) and run the tests using Command-Line.

Is it possible? How can I do that?

Currently, I tried it out and got:

I tried using nunit-console and got this error:

Could not load file or assembly 'nunit.framework, Version=3.10.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2638cd05610744eb' or one of its dependencies.

Googling it, seems nunit-console does not support.Net Core.

So I think I should go on with the dotnet test

You can read the documentation of NUnit Console Command Line

The console interface runner is invoked by a command in the form
NUNIT3-CONSOLE [inputfiles] [options]
where inputfiles is one or more assemblies or test projects of a type that NUnit can process and options is zero or more options. Input files and options may be mixed in any order.
