If I understand correctly, you use a call to a method listed as the source of test data. That method actually runs the test, rather than providing the data for the test. Consequently, the test itself runs when the method is called at the time of loading the NUnit tests.
Have I understood correctly? I want to be sure before replying further.

The behaviour I expect is: NUnit shouldn't run a test's TestCaseSource if the test itself won't be run. Detail: I have an expensive TestCaseSource generating a few hundred thousand permutations and combinations. I've applied Explicit to both the test targeting the source and the fixture surrounding both test and source. NUnit console spends ten minutes needlessly constructing test cases from the TestCaseSource before ignoring them and proceeding with the non-Explicit tests. If I throw NotImplementedException from the first line of the expensive TestCaseSource. NUnit runs the non-Explicit tests immediately. If I put a MessageBox.Show call in the first line, I see the message box. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
