I find the VS builds convenient for exploratory changes myself.
 
For the NAnt build, make sure the config points to the right
location for the exe.
 
I seem to remember that there are problems when you have
a separate SDK install in additon to the version provided with
Visual Studio.

I built it with VS2008 and ran tests with the NUnit gui executable output
from the build. 
The NAnt script requires the .NET SDK, I have it installed at work but I
couldn't run it anyway. It complained about resgen.exe not being there. In
fact it wasn't there, but I didn't investigate why.
I couldn't run the NAnt script however in the end, though I would prefer
running it instead of building in VS.

So here's the patch, for both the BinarySerializable and XmlSerializable
constraints. I've followed your guide, I hope I did everything correctly.
Feedback welcome.

Hi Charlie, 

I'd prefer to work on it again, there's been some changes since I wrote it
in the beginning, and it would be useful for me to get comfortable with
them. If you agree, I think this would be the right moment to publish the
list of steps required to create a new constraint.

Hi Simone,
 
I'm now back to looking at this patch, which I set aside while working on
other stuff.
 
I agree with you about having two different constraints. Do you want me to
put in
the patch you sent and change the name to "Binary..." or would you like to
rework it?
 
As noted, we do now have a generic AttributeConstraint.
 
Charlie

Subject: Re: [Nunit-users] Is.Serializable




To check just for the attribute or the interface
  Is.Serializable() OR
  Is.Serializable
 
To check by trying to do it
  Is.Serializable(formatter) OR
  Is.Serializable.Using(formatter)


I think that making Is.Serializable check for the presence of the attribute
on the class might be misleading, because its presence doesn't mean it's
serializable, and its absence doesn't mean it isn't. I think that
Is.Serializable should be used to check that an object is really
serializable, together with its references. That is, Is.Serializable should
come in two flavours, one that checks if it is serializable in binary
format, and another for xml. I'll come to this later.
About checking for the presence of the attribute, as you mentioned in a
comment to Fabio's feature request, I think it could be generalized with
Has.Attribute<> or Has.Attribute(Type).
So, given that the presence of an attribute is checked with a generic
Has.Attribute, the way I would tackle the true ability of an object graph to
serialize is either using Is.XmlSerializable and Is.BinarySerializable or
something equivalent. I don't get how you could pass in an instance of a
formatter; I guess you proposed it because you might want to be able to use
the assertion for other types of formatters not built into the .net fx s
well, but then how would you call their methods? Via reflection?
 


 
The aternatives above are between using a method and using a property. It
would be
cool to use the property for te first example and the method for the second,
but 
that's not possible.
 
Most of our syntactic elements use a property format when there is no
argument.
When an element has an optional argument, then we are forced to use method
syntax, which may look a bit odd. For example, we have to use Is.Ordered()
rather than Is.Ordered - That example should be familiar to you :-)
 
I lean toward "Using" or "With" or some other keyword.
 
What do folks think?


I'm fine with anything you choose. I don't think it's so important if it's a
property or a method, just let's try to be consistent :)

Subject: Re: [Nunit-users] Is.Serializable


Hmm, I just realized that what I'm doing is not enough for the object to be
serializable. I noticed that the prerequisites for it to be serializable are
quite different according to whether you want to serialize it to xml or to
binary. For example, the binary serialization doesn't require classes to be
public, while xml does. xml serialization doesn't require the serializable
attribute, while the binary does. So I'm wondering if it could be the case
to split the assertion in IsBinarySerializable and IsXmlSerializable, or
check that it is both binary and xml serializable in the same assertion.
Thoughts?

Hi Simone,
 
This looks good to me. Would you like to synch up and fix it so it works
with the latest code? My major
changes to Constraint, ConstraintBuilder, etc. are done and it would give
you a good way for you
to get familiar with those changes. Once it's done, you can either send me a
new patch or - if
you would like - I'll make you a commiter so you can add it yourself. If you
agree, I'll explain more
to you about review of code etc.

With regards to: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2028517&group_id=1

I have implemented a SerializableConstraint accessible via Is.Serializable.
The match is true if serialization to and deserialization from a memory
stream via a BinaryFormatter both succeed and the deserialized object is not
null. Otherwise the match returns false.

                  according to whether you want to serialize it to xml =

serialization=20
                  doesn't require the serializable attribute, while the =
binary=20

IsXmlSerializable, or=20
