NUnit - Issues ************** Reason: Fixture class is not public =================================== This message was displayed in the GUI and everything was yellow. Tried various things to solve the problem and I don't know which one fixed it. - Make sure your class is public i.e. ``public class``. - Make sure your class has a default public constructor e.g. ``public EncryptDataTest() {}``. - Make sure your assembly is using the same version of the .NET Framework as NUnit. My project was using version 3.5 and NUnit was set-up for version 2. - Make sure you are using the correct build of your project i.e. *Release* or *Debug*. I kept changing things and compiling - I was running the unit tests on the *Debug* assembly when I was building the *Release* assembly.
