mstest

When I use MSTest Framework, and copy the code that Selenium IDE generated for me, MSTest doesn't recognize [TearDown] and [SetUp] . What is the alternative to this? You would use [TestCleanup] and [TestInitialize] respectively. Keep in mind that your Initialize/Cleanup methods have to use the right signature. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.unittesting.classinitializeattribute.aspx [AssemblyInitialize()] public static void AssemblyInit(TestContext context) {} [ClassInitialize()] public static void ClassInit(TestContext context) {} [TestInitialize()]

How can this test fail? [TestMethod] public void Get_Code() { var expected = new List<int>(); expected.AddRange(new [] { 100, 400, 200, 900, 2300, 1900 }); var actual = new List<int>(); actual.AddRange(new [] { 100, 400, 200, 900, 2300, 1900 }); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual); // Assert.AreSame(expected, actual) fails // Assert.IsTrue(expected.Equals(actual)) fails } To make assertions about collections, you should use CollectionAssert : CollectionAssert.AreEqual(expected, actual); List<T> doesn't override Equals , so if Assert.AreEqual just calls Equals , it will end up using reference

I can't seem to grasp how MSTest deployment items are supposed to be configured. I have been able to get them working properly by modifying the project's test settings file, but this is less then ideal -- the deployment item configuration is separated from individual tests, and the file paths appear to be stored as absolute paths unless the files are under the solution folder. Am I not supposed to be able to add a deployment item using the [DeploymentItem] attribute on either a [TestClass] or [TestMethod] without having to create/modify a project test settings file? How do I accomplish this?
