What i was really suggesting was a possible work around to an edge case. No need to be rude. Good luck with that.

We are talking about code running inside StaticTestFactory. It employs reflection and dynamic test generation. This code uses some well defined feature negotiation protocol. You may not perceive it this way, but what you suggest is that I write a unit test to check the static test factory method, which job is to project infrastructure unit tests onto particular concrete application entity type. I'd rather pass.

Hi Jeff. My use case is pretty special. We generate dynamic tests for application entities based on something that I call feature negotiation protocol. I have changed the implementation of that protocol and wish to have a quick check to see whether I screwed it. The quick check would be to dump the complete list of tests before and after my change and then compare the two lists. In the absence of this test dumping facility I just run all the tests and then see if the count is the same, but it takes about 20 minutes to run all the tests...

The reason is that generating dynamic tests can have side-effects and can also rely on side-effects from setting up test fixtures. There is some plumbing in Gallio that might make it possible to enumerate dynamic tests anyways someday (although the results might be incorrect if they rely on side-effects). What's your use-case?

I would like to display a list of all the tests, including dynamic ones (but excluding combinatorial permutations) without actually running them. Is there a way to do it?
