Re: MbUnit style AutoRunner?

Ooh, exciting!

The AutoRunner in MbUnit essentially lets me run tests in a particular assembly from within that assembly.  Here's basically how I use it for my console-app-turned-test-suite:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using(var runner = new AutoRunner())
            {
                runner.Run();

                //runner.ReportToHtml();

                if (runner.Result.Counter.FailureCount > 0)
                {
                    Console.ReadLine();
                }
                else
                {
                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
                }
            }
        }

That produces console output like this: http://tryingthisagain.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/autorunnerexample.png

The commented out "runner.ReportToHtml()" will give me a nice HTML report and open it in my browser.  I'm not entirely sure how useful that is, since the console output tells me everything I need to know, but that's what it does. :)

In addition to what you see there, it would be fantastic if you could specify some criteria for running tests in code.  If I have tests marked "slow", for instance, I may not want them to run every time I debug.

Did I cover it well enough?

Thanks,
Kurt

HI Kurt,

Best bet would be to make this a feature request. Right now we're pretty focused on adding stuff that
folks are accustomed to from other frameworks, so there is a good chance it will get in.

If you do a request - or reply here, which is another way - please tell us what the feature is. We're
only human and a feature that says "Go look at Xxxx in the Acme product" and add a similar feature
is less likely to get action than one that carries its own specifications with it. :-)

Charlie

Subject: [Nunit-users] MbUnit style AutoRunner?
So I recently switched back to NUnit from MbUnit, and I'm really missing the AutoRunner.  It's great fun to start a one off project as a Console app, then start writing tests and swap it to an AutoRunner thing.

Is there a way to simulate that in NUnit?  MbUnit will run NUnit tests, so I'm currently using that for the AutoRunner, but it's a bit lacking.
