Re: NUnit 2.5: What's In It Now

Hi Gary,
 
For example, you write 
   Assert.That( 2 + 2 , Is.EqualTo( 5) );
I'd like the test result that says "Expected: 4 But was: 5" to go back to
NUnit
without throwing an AssertionException.
 
Why you ask?
 
Because then, if you wrote
  Assert.That( 2+2, Is.EqualTo( 4) );
I could give NUnit that successful result, and continue with the test.
 
Reporting of successful asserts is a long-standing request and reporting
failure via an exception seems wrong to me, since failures are expected
in a test framework.
 
That would not change how other exceptions are reported, however.
 
Any ideas?
 
 
Charlie

What sort of results are you after reporting? Currently we either have the
case where no exception is thrown, and if the method is decorated with an
ExpectedException then there's a failure, and the converse (if an exception
is thrown and we don't have an ExpectedException attribute).
 
I'd like to see the results of multiple asserts, and maybe for an assertion
failure report that its failed without breaking out of the test (this may
replace a lot of the data-driven testing stuff)
 
Cheers,
Gary
