Hi Team,

I am getting this error for nunit3-console runner but able to run testcases with dotnet test.

1. Can you please upload a repro project?

You can a) Add it as a PR to https://github.com/nunit/nunit-console.issues, add it as a separate folder named IssueXXX where the XXX is the issue number, or b) Add it as a zipped attachment here , or c) Add it to your own repo and just post the link.

Make it as small as you can, it should compile "as is".

2. Why can't you run with dotnet test ? Since it is using the adapter, it provides close to the same options as the console. see https://docs.nunit.org/articles/vs-test-adapter/Tips-And-Tricks.html for details
