| 27 | <h2>Configuration Files</h2>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <p>NUnit uses configuration files for the test runner executable either nunit-console.exe or
|
|---|
| 30 | nunitgui.exe as well as for the tests being run. Only settings that pertain to NUnit itself should be in
|
|---|
| 31 | the nunit-console.exe.config and nunit-gui.exe.config, while those that pertain to your own
|
|---|
| 32 | application and tests should be in a separate configuration file.</p>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <h3>NUnit Configuration Files</h3>
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <p>One main purpose of the nunit-console and nunit-gui config files is to allow
|
|---|
| 37 | NUnit to run with various versions of the .NET framework. NUnit is built using
|
|---|
| 38 | versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the framework. The two builds are provided as separate
|
|---|
| 39 | downloads and either build can be made to run against other versions of the CLR.</p>
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | <p>As delivered, the <startup> section of each config file is commented out,
|
|---|
| 42 | causing NUnit to run with the version of .NET used to build it. If you uncomment
|
|---|
| 43 | the <startup> section, the entries there control the order in which alternate
|
|---|
| 44 | framework versions are selected.</p>
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | <h3>Test Configuration File</h3>
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | <p>When a configuration file is used to provide settings or to control the environment in which a test
|
|---|
| 49 | is run, specific naming conventions must be followed.</p>
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | <p>If a single assembly is being loaded, then the configuration file is given the name of the assembly
|
|---|
| 52 | file with the config extension. For example, the configuration file used to run nunit.tests.dll must
|
|---|
| 53 | be named nunit.tests.dll.config and located in the same directory as the dll.</p>
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | <p>If an NUnit project is being loaded into a single AppDomain, the configuration file uses the
|
|---|
| 56 | name of the project file with the extension <i>changed</i> to config. For example, the project
|
|---|
| 57 | AllTests.nunit would require a configuration file named AllTests.config, located in the same
|
|---|
| 58 | directory as AllTests.nunit. The same rule is followed when loading Visual Studio projects or solutions.</p>
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 61 | <p><b>Note:</b> The above only applies if a single AppDomain is being used. If an NUnit
|
|---|
| 62 | project is loaded using a separate AppDomain for each assembly, then the individual
|
|---|
| 63 | configuration files for each of the assemblies are used.
|
|---|
| 64 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | <p>Generally, you should be able to simply copy your application config file and rename it as
|
|---|
| 67 | described above.</p>
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | <p>It is also possible to effect the behavior of NUnit by adding special sections
|
|---|
| 70 | to the test config file. A config file using these sections might look like this:
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | <div class="code" style="width: 36em">
|
|---|
| 73 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 74 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
|
|---|
| 75 | <configuration>
|
|---|
| 76 | <configSections>
|
|---|
| 77 | <sectionGroup name="NUnit">
|
|---|
| 78 | <section name="TestCaseBuilder"
|
|---|
| 79 | type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
|
|---|
| 80 | <section name="TestRunner"
|
|---|
| 81 | type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
|
|---|
| 82 | </sectionGroup>
|
|---|
| 83 | </configSections>
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | <NUnit>
|
|---|
| 86 | <TestCaseBuilder>
|
|---|
| 87 | <add key="OldStyleTestCases" value="false" />
|
|---|
| 88 | </TestCaseBuilder>
|
|---|
| 89 | <TestRunner>
|
|---|
| 90 | <add key="ApartmentState" value="MTA" />
|
|---|
| 91 | <add key="ThreadPriority" value="Normal" />
|
|---|
| 92 | <add key="DefaultLogThreshold" value="Error" />
|
|---|
| 93 | </TestRunner>
|
|---|
| 94 | </NUnit>
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | ...
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | </configuration>
|
|---|
| 99 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 100 | </div>
|
|---|
| 101 |
|
|---|
| 102 | <p>The entries in the above file are all
|
|---|
| 103 | set to default values. The meaning of each setting is as follows:
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | <h4>OldStyleTestCases</h4>
|
|---|
| 106 | <p>If set to "true" NUnit will recognize methods beginning
|
|---|
| 107 | "test..." as tests. The prefix is case insensitive.
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | <h4>ApartmentState</h4>
|
|---|
| 110 | <p>Sets the apartment state for the thread used to run tests.
|
|---|
| 111 |
|
|---|
| 112 | <h4>ThreadPriority</h4>
|
|---|
| 113 | <p>Sets the thread priority for the test thread.
|
|---|
| 114 |
|
|---|
| 115 | <h4>DefaultLogThreshold</h4>
|
|---|
| 116 | <p>Sets the level for logging captured by NUnit. In the
|
|---|
| 117 | current version only log4net logging is captured, so the
|
|---|
| 118 | level must be one that is defined by log4net.
