What would be an alternate to [TearDown] and [SetUp] in MSTest?

Question

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?

Answer 1

You would use [TestCleanup] and [TestInitialize] respectively.

Answer 2

Keep in mind that your Initialize/Cleanup methods have to use the right signature.

    [AssemblyInitialize()]
    public static void AssemblyInit(TestContext context) {}

    [ClassInitialize()]
    public static void ClassInit(TestContext context) {}

    [TestInitialize()]
    public void Initialize() {}

    [TestCleanup()]
    public void Cleanup() {}

    [ClassCleanup()]
    public static void ClassCleanup() {}

    [AssemblyCleanup()]
    public static void AssemblyCleanup() {}

Answer 3

[TestInitialize] and [TestCleanup] at the individual test level, [ClassInitialize] and [ClassCleanup] at the class level.

Answer 4

You can use [TestInitialize] for [SetUp] and [TestCleanup] for [TearDown].
