Title:
Means to include/exclude categories from test code
Status in NUnit Test Framework:
New
Bug description:
Hi NUnit,
Use of categories is a great way to include/exclude tests depending on the
physical properties of the test machine. In combination with configuration
settings this feature becomes even more powerful because it allows to configure
the required physical test infrastructure, and the same tests can be executed
on different physical machines. In my case for example, settings are:
'SerialPortA' and 'SerialPortAIsAvailable' (e.g. COM1 and true)
'SerialPortB' and 'SerialPortBIsAvailable' (e.g. COM2 and false)
'SerialPortsAreInterconnected' (e.g. false)
When running tests, I can now manually exclude those categories which cannot
be executed on the current machine. However, tests should automatically be
excluded/ignored if the test machine doesn't provide the required
infrastructure. Currently I achive this by:
if (SerialPortAIsAvailable)
<Run test case on SerialPortA>
else
Assert.Ignore("'SerialPortA' is not available, therefore this test is
ignored. Ensure that...
This implementation requires that every test case does perform this
check. It would be much more convenient if a whole category was
automatically excluded/ignored by the NUnit test runner. I'd prefer
'ignore' because I'd prefer to clearly see that tests were skipped and
a yellow instead of a green bar.
Currently using:
> NUnit 2.5.10 (not yet upgraded to 2.6.2 due to the fact that the upgrade
lead to issues with .NET 3.5)
> Gui Runner
Best regards
