Exceptions caught in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException differ

[PauloIntechnica]

If a test class assigns AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException in the SetUp() and then an exception is thrown in a thread:

• In NUnit GUI the executor succeeds;
• In VS 2015 + NUnit Test Adapter the executor crashes.

The most relevant (hopefully) parts of the
Code:

    [TestFixtureAttribute ()]
    class JMeter_DataUploader_IntegrationTests
    {
        bool _AnGlobalExceptionWasCaught;

        [SetUp ()]
        public void SetupTest ()
        {
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;
            _AnGlobalExceptionWasCaught = false;
        }
        private void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException (object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            _AnGlobalExceptionWasCaught = true;
        }

        [Test ()]
        //[Timeout (10000)]
        public void Test_ConsumerProducer_HighlyThreaded ()
        {
            // ...

            // >> Build Consumer
            DataUploader dataUploader = new DataUploader ();
            Thread consumer = new Thread (
                delegate ()
                {
                    //  (throws an Exception)
                    dataUploader.UploadData (testRunDatas, ref producerIsWorking);
                });

            // ...

            // Assertions
            Assert.IsTrue (!_AnGlobalExceptionWasCaught);
        }
    }

When I run this code in the NUnit GUI executor, it successfully reaches the Assert.IsTrue(...) and marks that test as failed at that point.

When I run this code inside VS, the test executor crashes, opens a crash report window and I see nothing relevant in the "Test Explorer".

• NUnit installed 2.6.4 (downloaded this/last week).
• VS 2015
• Extension "NUnit Test Adapter" installed from Extensions Manager.
• Assemblies being handled manually (not through NuGet) - project is referencing the newly downloaded assembly: _\NUnit 2.6.4\bin\framework\nunit.framework.dll
