I've recently moved from NUnit to MbUnit. I like the extra features it offers, in particular, the RowTest feature. This allows a single test to take different parameters - the parameters of which are specified in the attributes. Here's an example:
class Test { internal Test( string s ) { if( string.IsNullOrEmpty( s ) ) throw new ArgumentNullException( ) ; } } [ RowTest ] [ Row( @"Hello World!" )] [ Row( @"Another string" )] public void Test1( string val ) { Test t = new Test( val ); }
Here, Test1 is being given the parameters from the attributes on the test. Previously, say, in NUnit, I'd have written a couple of unit tests that create this Test object and give it different values. Normally, I'd also write a couple that would try and create one with a null string and an empty string and assert that it throws an ArgumentNullException.
Now, in MbUnit, I went to write the test like so:
[ RowTest ] [ Row( null , ExpectedException = typeof( ArgumentNullException ) ) ] [ Row( @"Hello World!" )] public void Test1( string val ) { Test t = new Test( val ); }
Strangely, this caused an internal error in MbUnit. Reading around, It looks like MbUnit is taking the first parameter of Row and treating it as an array rather than a single parameter. The complete non-obvious way around this is to cast the null to a string:
[ RowTest ] [ Row( (string)null , ExpectedException = typeof( ArgumentNullException ) ) ] [ Row( @"Hello World!" )] public void Test1( string val ) { Test t = new Test( val ); }
This now works. Which is nice!
