I'm running unit tests in ReSharper with NUnit 3.10.

I'm getting this error when doing a simple async test:

Method has non-void return value, but no result is expected

My test is literally:

[Test]
public async Task Nothing()
{
    await Task.Delay(100);
}

It says in the documentation that this is in fact the correct way to run async tests.

For those working in Unity, make sure you are using the updated Test Framework Package, at least 2.0.1. It is currently in pre-release so you will need to enable show pre-release in the Package Manager.

Documentation here for more about the feature.

For me the issues was that instead of using a NuGet package, the references were to a DLL that's compiled targeting .NET Framework 3.5. Using a NuGet package of NUnit fixed it.
