C#: How to run NUnit from my code
- by Flavio
Hello,
I'd like to use NUnit to run unit tests in my plug-in, but it needs to be run in the context of my application. To solve this, I was trying to develop a plug-in that runs NUnit, which in turn will execute my tests in the application's context.
I didn't find a specific documentation on this subject so I dug a piece of information here and there and I came out with the following piece of code (which is similar to one I found here in StackOverflow):
SimpleTestRunner runner = new SimpleTestRunner();
TestPackage package = new TestPackage( "Test" );
string loc = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
package.Assemblies.Add( loc );
if( runner.Load(package) )
{
TestResult result = runner.Run( new NullListener() );
}
The result variable says "has no TestFixture" although I know for sure it is there. In fact my test file contains two test.
Using another approach I found, which is summarized by the following code:
TestSuiteBuilder builder = new TestSuiteBuilder();
TestSuite testSuite = builder.Build( package );
// Run tests
TestResult result = testSuite.Run( new NullListener(), NUnit.Core.TestFilter.Empty );
I saw nunit data structures with only 1 test and I had the same error.
For sake of completeness, I am using the latest version of nunit, which is 2.5.5.10112.
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
A sample code would be appreciated.
thanks
