Status in NUnit Test Framework: Triaged Bug description: Hi, I have hierarchy like data-driven test cases that’s 3 levels deep. Currently the TestFixture can only be instantiated only a constant number of times. How can I parameterize the TestFixture based on source input, same like the TestCaseSource attribute? Ref: http://groups.google.com/group/nunit-discuss/browse_thread/thread/1628db6b5977876b http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2018758/convert-string-to-c-code-before-compilation Here is simple example, I need the NUnit GUI to be something like this. Rectangle Rectagle("length1", "width1") CircleInsideTheRectangle CircleInsideTheRectangle("radius1") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side1") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side2") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side3") ... CircleInsideTheRectangle("radius2") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side4") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side5") Rectagle("length2", "width2") CircleInsideTheRectangle CircleInsideTheRectangle("radius3") MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest("side6") ... The Rectangle and CircleInsideTheRectangle TestFixture class can be any number (it's data driven). The MaxSquareOutsideCircleAndInsideRectangleTest is a data driven test method. While sure everything can be made into TestCaseSource, for complex test the data input will be very long. For efficiency, I would like the TestFixture class to be instantiated only once for all the child TestFixture and TestCase. Because the setting up and tearing down could take a long time. As seen the child require some information from the parent. This may need abstract class and inheritance, but it's not easy to do. Thank you very much.
