Hi Charlie, Good to know that there is a workaround for the GUI runner.
It would be great if you also supported an argument for the console runner to allow the PrincipalPolicy to be set. Configuring a user setting on build machines is not always feasible and is never really desirable. Cheers, Alex. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Core Developers, which is the registrant for NUnit Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712156 Title: Tests cannot use AppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy Status in NUnit Test Framework: Triaged Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Fix Released Bug description: I have some unit tests that call AppDomain.SetPrinicipalPolicy (in order to run tests using a Windows Principal). Unfortunately, SetPrincipalPolicy doesn't work in tests run from the NUnit 2.5.9 GUI runner. (It does work, just fine, from the NUnit 2.4.3 GUI Runner). Here is a unit test to demonstrate the problem. The test passes (as it should) in UNnit 2.4.3, but fails in 2.5.9: [Test] public void CanSetPrincipalPolicy() { AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal); Assert.That(Thread.CurrentPrincipal is WindowsPrincipal); } The problem appears to be the fact that NUnit's TestExecutionContext is accessing Thread.CurrentPrincipal before the test runs. As per the documentation for SetPrincipalPolicy, it _doesn't work_ if Thread.CurrentPrincipal has been used _before_ SetPrincipalPolicy. If this cannot be solved, then can a workaround pls be suggested. E.g. - something in a nUnit config file to set principal policy, OR - a documented way to execute SetPrincipalPolicy, in the same AppDomain as the tests, before TestExecutionContext touches Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Is there any way to have code, in NUnit, that runs in the same app domain as the tests, but BEFORE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nunit-3.0/+bug/712156/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
