mstest

Similarly to How to use MsTest in Continuous Integration without VS? , I want to run mstest.exe on a TeamBuild server. My context is Trapping Error Status in MSBuild - i.e., I'm only trying to use mstest.exe /publish to upload the results in to the TFS repository. Thus the full rigmarole in http://www.shunra.com/shunrablog/index.php/2009/04/23/running-mstest-without-visual-studio/ is (you'd hope) likely to be overkill, esp as MSTEST.exe, as covered in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/e4575890-8f88-413c-a7f3-0d09d3b9cb01 suggests all I need to do is install Team

Given this test fixture: [TestClass] public class MSTestThreads { [TestMethod] public void Test1() { Trace.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); } [TestMethod] public void Test2() { Trace.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); } } Running the test with MSTest through Visual Studio or command line prints two different thread numbers (yet they are run sequentially anyway). Is there a way to force MSTest to run them using a single thread? detroitpro I've fought for endless hours to make MSTest run in a single threaded mode on a large project that made heavy use of nHibernate

I have a base class for my tests which is composed in the following way: [TestClass] public abstract class MyBaseTest { protected static string myField = ""; [ClassInitialize] public static void ClassInitialize(TestContext context) { // static field initialization myField = "new value"; } } Now I am trying to create a new test that inherits from the base, with the following signature: [TestClass] public class MyTest : MyBaseTest { [TestMethod] public void BaseMethod_ShouldHave_FieldInitialized() { Assert.IsTrue(myField == "new value"); } } The ClassInitialize is never called by the child tests

How can I configure a .NET solution (C#, .NET 2.0) to to allow other developers to make use of the same unit tests for the solution using either NUnit or MSTest? Background: In this project, some developers use VS2005 Team Edition, and others make use of VS2005 Pro, so not all of the developers are able to run MSTest. Given that this is an Enterprise project, the team is not able to make use of TestDriven.net or ReSharper. I am aware using either of these products with VS would resolve this issue, but given the time it would take to authorize the purchase of licenses, buying either of these

I'm currently maintaining an "old" system written in C#.net, removing some obsolete features and doing some refactoring. Thanks god, the previous guy wrote some unit tests (MSTests). I quite comfortable with JUnit tests, but didn't do yet much with MSTests. The test methods have a DeploymentItem attribute, specifying a text file which is parsed by the business logic method that is being tested and a 2nd DeploymentItem where just a path has been specified containing a bunch of TIF files that have to be deployed too. [TestMethod()] [DeploymentItem(@"files\valid\valid_entries.txt")]

I've got a test which requires an XML file to be read in and then parsed. How can I have this file copied into the test run folder each time? The XML file is set to "Copy if newer" and a compile mode of "none" (since it's not really a compile-able thing) Preet Sangha use a DeploymentItem attribute using System; using System.IO; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; using CarMaker; namespace DeploymentTest { [TestClass] public class UnitTest1 { [TestMethod()] [DeploymentItem("testFile1.xml")] public void ConstructorTest() { string file = "testFile1.xml"; Assert.IsTrue(File.Exists
