Re: nunit tests hold onto file handles after testsaredone

This might require too much integration with NUnit, but it could be
worth a shot.  I believe that test failures are actually implemented as
exceptions (please correct me if I am wrong).  You could then put
everything in a try-catch block and only clean things up if the
exception does not inherit from the "TestFailedException".

 

Also, this sounds like it may benefit from a custom TestRunner or
something else that could wrap the tests for you.  However, I don't have
enough experience in those to say one way or the other.

	In order to do this I need to be able to "ask for the name of
the test which is about to run, or just finished running, from SetUp or
TearDown", and "ask for the pass/fail result of the last test when in
TearDown", alternatively, if there is a way to ask for the pass/fail
result of any test by name, I could use the first result about the test
name and then look up the test result. 

	Another possible way to solve this problem is to have the SetUp
both tear down the old test bed and build the new one.  That way, all of
your test output will be available after the run of the tests, thus
allowing you to inspect all the test output on a whim.  The one downfall
to this is that your test beds will be left around after your tests are
run, which may not work in your situation.

That's a nifty idea, I'll have to try both.

My primary issue is inability to access the information about whether
the test passed or failed. I don't want to keep all the datafiles for
tests that passed, I only want to keep the failures, so I can inspect
them. I guess as a workaround I can put the body of every test in a
try/catch block, and if it catches anything, mark the test as failed in
an instance field and rethrow the exception I caught.
