NUnit - Getting results.xml when running tests with Test Adapter in Visual Studio

Question

When using nunit-console.exe to run tests from the command line you can have a result.xml file created, which can further be used for example by ReportUnit to create nice looking reports.

Question

Is there a way to produce this result.xml file when running the tests not via nunit-console but with the NUnit (3.0) Test Adapter for Visual Studio via the Test Explorer Window?

At least I wasn't able to find an xml file after the tests finished running, so I assume, that there is none created.

* I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015

Answer 1

NUnit XML output could be produced by the NUnit console and GUI runners only. You won't get it with Visual Studio

Answer 2

It should be possible by specifying the ResultsDirectory property in your .runsettings file. If you don't have one, check the docs:
