| 27 | <h2>NUnit Command Line Options</h2>
|
|---|
| 28 | <p>The forms interface may be run with or without the name of a file containing
|
|---|
| 29 | tests on the command line. If the program is started without any file
|
|---|
| 30 | specified, it automatically loads the most recently loaded assembly.</p>
|
|---|
| 31 | <p><b>Note:</b> Options that take values may use an equal sign, a colon or a space
|
|---|
| 32 | to separate the option from its value.</p>
|
|---|
| 33 | <p><b>Note:</b> Under the Windows operating system, options may be prefixed by either
|
|---|
| 34 | a forward slash or a hyphen. Under Linux, a hyphen must be used. Options that
|
|---|
| 35 | take values may use an equal sign, a colon or a space to separate the option
|
|---|
| 36 | from its value.</p>
|
|---|
| 37 | <h4>Run without loading an Assembly</h4>
|
|---|
| 38 | <p>To suppress loading of the most recent assembly, use the <b>/noload</b> switch:
|
|---|
| 39 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit /noload</pre>
|
|---|
| 40 | </p>
|
|---|
| 41 | <h4>Specifying an Assembly</h4>
|
|---|
| 42 | <p>The other option is to specify an assembly or project file name on the command
|
|---|
| 43 | line. The following will start the forms interface with the assembly
|
|---|
| 44 | nunit.tests.dll:
|
|---|
| 45 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.dll</pre>
|
|---|
| 46 | </p>
|
|---|
| 47 | <p>The following will start the forms interface loading the same assembly through
|
|---|
| 48 | its Visual Studio project definition:
|
|---|
| 49 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.csproj</pre>
|
|---|
| 50 | </p>
|
|---|
| 51 | <p>Assuming an NUnit test project has been created containing the assembly, the
|
|---|
| 52 | following will again load nunit.tests.dll:
|
|---|
| 53 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.nunit</pre>
|
|---|
| 54 | </p>
|
|---|
| 55 | <h4>Specifying an Assembly and a Fixture</h4>
|
|---|
| 56 | <p>
|
|---|
| 57 | When specifying a a fixture, you must give the full name of the test fixture
|
|---|
| 58 | along with the containing assembly. For example, to load only the
|
|---|
| 59 | NUnit.Tests.AssertionTests in the nunit.tests.dll assembly use the following
|
|---|
| 60 | command:
|
|---|
| 61 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit /fixture:NUnit.Tests.AssertionTests nunit.tests.dll</pre>
|
|---|
| 62 | </p>
|
|---|
| 63 | <p>The name specified after the <b>/fixture</b> option may be that of a TestFixture
|
|---|
| 64 | class, or a namespace. If a namespace is given, then all fixtures under that
|
|---|
| 65 | namespace are loaded. This option may be used with Visual Studio or NUnit
|
|---|
| 66 | projects as well.</p>
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | <h4>Specifying Test Categories to Include or Exclude</h4>
|
|---|
| 69 | <p>NUnit provides CategoryAttribute for use in marking tests as belonging to
|
|---|
| 70 | one or more categories. Categories may be included or excluded in a test run
|
|---|
| 71 | using the <b>/include</b> or <b>/exclude</b> options. The following command
|
|---|
| 72 | starts the gui with only the tests in the BaseLine category selected:
|
|---|
| 73 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit myassembly.dll /include:BaseLine</pre>
|
|---|
| 74 | </p>
|
|---|
| 75 | <p>The following command selects all tests <b>except</b> those in the Database
|
|---|
| 76 | category:
|
|---|
| 77 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit myassembly.dll /exclude:Database</pre>
|
|---|
| 78 | </p>
|
|---|
| 79 | <p>
|
|---|
| 80 | Multiple categories may be specified on either option, by using commas to
|
|---|
| 81 | separate them.
|
|---|
| 82 | <p><b>Note:</b> At this time, the /include and /exclude options may not be
|
|---|
| 83 | combined on the command line.</p>
|
|---|
| 84 | <!--
|
|---|
| 85 | <h4>Specifying the Version of the CLR</h4>
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | <p>Most applications are written to run under a specific version of the CLR.
|
|---|
| 88 | A few are designed to operate correctly under multiple versions. In either case,
|
|---|
| 89 | it is important to be able to specify the CLR version to be used for testing.</p>
|
|---|
| 90 |
|
|---|
| 91 | <p>When only one version of the CLR is used, the config files for nunit and
|
|---|
| 92 | nunit-console may be set up to specify that version. As a more convenient
|
|---|
| 93 | alternative when switching CLRs, you may use the provided <b>clr.bat</b>
|
|---|
| 94 | command to specify the version under which NUnit should run.</p>
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | <p>For example, to run the gui under the RTM version of
|
|---|
| 97 | the .Net 2.0 framework, use:</p>
|
|---|
| 98 |
|
|---|
| 99 | <pre class="programtext"> clr net-2.0 nunit</pre>
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | <p>The <b>clr.bat</b> file is located in the NUnit <b>bin</b> directory. You may
|
|---|
| 102 | put this on your path, or copy it to a convenient location. Enter <b>clr /?</b>
|
|---|
| 103 | for a list of options.</p>
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | <p><b>Note:</b> If you use a <startup> section in the config file, it takes
|
|---|
| 106 | precedence over this option.</p>
|
|---|
| 107 |
|
|---|
| 108 | <p><b>Note:</b> This command is specific to the Microsoft .Net
|
|---|
| 109 | framework. The Mono framework provides other means to specify the version
|
|---|
| 110 | to be used when running a command and the NUnit Windows interface does
|
|---|
| 111 | not currently run under Mono.</p>
|
|---|
| 112 | -->
|
|---|
| 113 |
|
|---|
| 114 | <h4>Load and Run All Tests</h4>
|
|---|
| 115 | Normally, nunit only loads an assembly and then waits for the user to click
|
|---|
| 116 | on the Run button. If you wish to have the tests run immediately, use the <b>/run</b>
|
|---|
| 117 | option:
|
|---|
| 118 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.dll /run</pre>
|
|---|
| 119 | </p>
|
|---|
| 120 | <h4>Load and Run Selected Tests</h4>
|
|---|
| 121 | To load and immediately rerun the last selected tests, use the <b>/runselected</b>
|
|---|
| 122 | option:
|
|---|
| 123 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.dll /runselected</pre>
|
|---|
| 124 | </p>
|
|---|
| 125 | <p><b>Note:</b> If no selection has been saved, this option works just like <b>/run</b>.
|
|---|
| 126 | <h4>Specifying which Configuration to Load</h4>
|
|---|
| 127 | <p>When loading a Visual Studio project or an NUnit project, the first
|
|---|
| 128 | configuration found will be loaded by default. Usually this is Debug. The
|
|---|
| 129 | configuration loaded may be controlled using the <b>/config</b> switch. The
|
|---|
| 130 | following will load the Release configuration of the nunit.tests.dll:
|
|---|
| 131 | <pre class="programtext"> nunit nunit.tests.csproj /config:Release</pre>
|
|---|
| 132 | </p>
|
|---|
| 133 | <p><b>Note:</b> This option has no effect when loading an assembly directly.</p>
|
|---|
| 134 | <h4>Specifying Multiple Assemblies</h4>
|
|---|
| 135 | <p>The forms interface does <b>not</b> currently provide for specifying more than
|
|---|
| 136 | one assembly on the command line. Multiple-assembly projects must be loaded by
|
|---|
| 137 | specifying the name of a Visual Studio solution file or an NUnit test project.</p>
|
|---|
| 138 | <h4>Clearing the ShadowCopy Cache</h4>
|
|---|
| 139 | <p>The <b>/cleanup</b> option erases the shadow copy cache and exits.
|
|---|
| 140 | <h4>Displaying Help</h4>
|
|---|
| 141 | <p>The <b>/help</b> or <b>/?</b> option displays a message box containing a brief
|
|---|
| 142 | help message.</p>
