Re: BackgroundWorker problems

I restructured the code to ensure that parts weren't being freed, but
still ran into problems. I then starting working backwards from the
example BackgroundWorker which did work ok with NUnit, and it appears
that the culprit is the System.Windows.Form object. 

 

For some reason, if my class which contains the BackgroundWorker object
is derived from System.Windows.Form, then only the DoWork event gets
called. Seems a bit odd, since the BackgroundWorker object is intended
to be placed onto a form, and it appears to work ok in the production
code. 

 

I'm going to see if I can restructure remove the BackgroundWorker object
from the form, and put it in a contained object not derived from Form.

 

Any ideas why deriving from System.Windows.Form would cause the events
to stop working?

I think I've figured out the problem. NUnit has no reason to keep your
fixture class around once it's executed the small number of unit tests
in it, right? So the entire AppDomain is unloaded, and therefore the
form, and the BackgroundWorker component on it, get killed. The form's
OnDisposed and OnClosing methods never even get called; likewise the
completion callback.

 

I don't think you can do what you're trying to do here, though I'm not
sure exactly what you're trying to do. You're basically hoping that the
background task will complete before the appropriate test is called.
Unless you synchronize the thread on which the tests are running and the
background thread onto which the task is put, that's not gonna happen.
When I built delays in, the AppDomain still got unloaded by the test
runner (I'm using ReSharper, but it doesn't matter).
