NCover fails to do anything when using NUnit

I wanted to get coverage on 6 tests in an assembly that has a lot of tests in it. I started NCover half an hour ago and it seems to be not doing anything. The output:



Adding the '/noshadow' argument to the NUnit command line to ensure NCover can gather coverage data.
To prevent this behavior, use the //literal argument.
Setting the //pm argument to 'nunit-agent.exe;nunit-agent-x86.exe;nunit-console.exe;nunit-console-x86.exe' in an attempt to gather coverage data.
To prevent this behavior, use the //literal argument, or the LiteralMode="True" task property.

That's about it. What should I do next to figure out what is wrong here?

Hi jcollum,

If you never saw any command line output like this:

Adding the '/noshadow' argument to the NUnit command line to ensure NCover can gather coverage data. To prevent this behavior, use the //literal argument. Setting the //pm argument to 'nunit-agent.exe;nunit-agent-x86.exe;nunit-console.exe;nunit-console-x86.exe' in an attempt to gather coverage data. To prevent this behavior, use the //literal argument, or the LiteralMode="True" task property.

Then please verify that NUnit runs these tests correctly, and then try running only one test.

Thanks!
