|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <p>The Settings Dialog is displayed using the Tools | Settings menu item and allows the user to
|
|---|
| 30 | control some aspects of NUnits operation. Beginning with NUnit 2.4.4, a tree-based dialog
|
|---|
| 31 | replaced the older tabbed format.</p>

| 38 | <h3>Gui Display</h3>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <h4>Full Gui</h4>
|
|---|
| 41 | <p>Displays the complete gui - as in prior versions of NUnit. This includes the
|
|---|
| 42 | test result tabs and the progress bar.</p>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <h4>Mini Gui</h4>
|
|---|
| 45 | <p>Switches the display to the mini-gui, which consists of the tree display
|
|---|
| 46 | only.</p>
|
|---|
| 47 | <h3>Recent Files</h3>
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | <p>The <b>Display ... files in list</b> TextBox allows the user to choose the number
|
|---|
| 50 | of entries to display in the recent files list.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | <p>Normally, NUnit checks that project files still exist before
|
|---|
| 53 | displaying them in the recent files list. This can cause long delays if the
|
|---|
| 54 | file is on a network connection that is no longer available. Unchecking
|
|---|
| 55 | <b>Check that files exist before listing</b> will avoid this delay, so
|
|---|
| 56 | long as the missing file is not actually selected.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | <p>If <b>Load most recent project at startup</b> is checked, the GUI will load the
|
|---|
| 59 | last file opened unless it is run with a specific filename or with the
|
|---|
| 60 | <code>/noload</code> parameter.</p>

|
|---|
| 67 | <h3>Tree View</h3>
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | <p>The list box allows selecting the degree of expansion of the tree when tests are loaded:</p>
|
|---|
| 70 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 71 | <p><b>Auto</b> selects a setting based on the space available for the tree display.</p>
|
|---|
| 72 | <p><b>Expand</b> expands all tests</p>
|
|---|
| 73 | <p><b>Collapse</b> collapses all tests</p>
|
|---|
| 74 | <p><b>Hide Tests</b> expands all suites except for the fixtures themselves.</p>
|
|---|
| 75 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | <p>If <b>Clear results when reloading</b> is checked, an automatic or manual reload will reinitialize all
|
|---|
| 78 | test nodes in the tree (grey display) if it is not checked, result information for tests that do
|
|---|
| 79 | not seem to have changed will be retained.</p>
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | <p>If <b>Save visual state of each project</b> is checked, NUnit saves the state of the tree
|
|---|
| 82 | and restores it when the project is next opened. The information saved includes which
|
|---|
| 83 | branches of the tree are expanded, the selected node, any checked nodes and any
|
|---|
| 84 | category selection.
|
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 | <p>If <b>Show Checkboxes</b> is checked, the tree includes checkboxes, which may
|
|---|
| 87 | be used to select multiple tests for running. This setting is also available
|
|---|
| 88 | in the <b>View | Tree</b> menu.</p>
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | <h3>Test Structure</h3>
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | <p>If <b>Automatic Namespace suites</b> is selected, tests will be
|
|---|
| 93 | shown in a hierarchical listing based on namespaces. This is the
|
|---|
| 94 | standard display as used in versions prior to NUnit 2.4.
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | <p>If <b>Flat list of TestFixtures</b> is selected, tests will be
|
|---|
| 97 | shown as a sequential list of fixtures.

|
|---|
| 103 |
|
|---|
| 104 | <h3>Errors Tab</h3>
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | <p>Check <b>Display Errors and Failures Tab</b> to display the
|
|---|
| 107 | <b>Errors and Failures</b> tab, which shows information about failing tests.
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | <p>Check <b>Enable Failure ToolTips</b> to display the tip window over the
|
|---|
| 110 | Errors and Failures display and the stack trace. Clear it if you prefer not
|
|---|
| 111 | to see the tip window.</p>
|
|---|
| 112 |
|
|---|
| 113 | <p>Check <b>Enable Word Wrap</b> to turn on word wrapping
|
|---|
| 114 | in the Errors and Failures display. While you can select this item and the
|
|---|
| 115 | preceding one at the same time, they do not interact well, so you will
|
|---|
| 116 | normally choose one or the other.</p>
|
|---|
| 117 |
|
|---|
| 118 | <h3>Not Run Tab</h3>
|
|---|
| 119 |
|
|---|
| 120 | <p>Check <b>Display Tests Not Run Tab</b> to display the
|
|---|
| 121 | <b>Tests Not Run</b> tab, which shows information about tests that were
|
|---|
| 122 | skipped or ignored.
|

|
|---|
| 129 | <h3>Select Tab</h3>
|
|---|
| 130 |
|
|---|
| 131 | <p>The <b>Select Tab</b> dropdown list is used to select one of the output tabs, for which
|
|---|
| 132 | settings are to be viewed or changed. It also contains entries that allow
|
|---|
| 133 | you to add a new tab or edit the list of tabs.
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | <p>The <b>Restore Defaults</b> button is used to restore the default
|
|---|
| 136 | setting, which is a single tab labeled "Text Output." The default tab
|
|---|
| 137 | displays all types of output and includes a label for each test that
|
|---|
| 138 | displays text.
|
|---|
| 139 |
|
|---|
| 140 | <p>The <b>Title</b> text box is used to modify the title displayed
|
|---|
| 141 | for the selected output tab.
|
|---|
| 142 |
|
|---|
| 143 | <p><b>Enabled</b> is checked by default. If you uncheck it,
|
|---|
| 144 | the selected tab will be removed from the tab control. This allows you to temporarily
|
|---|
| 145 | suppress output to a tab without actually removing its definition.
|
|---|
| 146 |
|
|---|
| 147 | <h3>Content</h3>
|
|---|
| 148 |
|
|---|
| 149 | <p>The four check boxes enable or disable a particular type of output
|
|---|
| 150 | on the selected output window. For each type, the display captures
|
|---|
| 151 | output produced while your test is running - either by the test
|
|---|
| 152 | itself or by the program you are testing.
|
|---|
| 153 |
|
|---|
| 154 | <h4>Standard Output</h4>
|
|---|
| 155 | <p>Captures all output written to Console.Out.
|
|---|
| 156 |
|
|---|
| 157 | <h4>Error Output</h4>
|
|---|
| 158 | <p>Captures all output written to Console.Error.
|
|---|
| 159 |
|
|---|
| 160 | <h4>Trace Output</h4>
|
|---|
| 161 | <p>Captures all output written to Trace or Debug.
|
|---|
| 162 |
|
|---|
| 163 | <h4>Log Output</h4>
|
|---|
| 164 | <p>Captures output written to a log4net log. NUnit captures
|
|---|
| 165 | all output at the Error level or above unless another level
|
|---|
| 166 | is specified for the DefaultLogThreshold setting in the
|
|---|
| 167 | configuration file for the test assembly or project.
|
|---|
| 168 |
|
|---|
| 169 | <h3>Test Labels</h3>
|
|---|
| 170 |
|
|---|
| 171 | <p>Check <b>Display TestCase Labels</b> to precede text in the output window
|
|---|
| 172 | with the name of the test that produced it.</p>
|
|---|
| 173 |
|
|---|
| 174 | <p>Check <b>Suppress label if no output is displayed</b> to eliminate display
|
|---|
| 175 | of labels for tests that produce no output in the window.

|
|---|
| 183 | <h3>Default Process Model</h3>
|
|---|
| 184 |
|
|---|
| 185 | <p>These settings determine NUnit's default use of operating system
|
|---|
| 186 | processes and may be overridden by settings in the NUnit project.
|
|---|
| 187 |
|
|---|
| 188 | <p>If <b>Run tests directly in the NUnit process</b> is selected,
|
|---|
| 189 | all tests are run in a test domain in the same process as NUnit.
|
|---|
| 190 | This is the way previous versions of NUnit ran tests and is the
|
|---|
| 191 | default setting.
|
|---|
| 192 |
|
|---|
| 193 | <p>If <b>Run tests in a single separate process</b> is selected,
|
|---|
| 194 | a separate process is used for all tests.
|
|---|
| 195 |
|
|---|
| 196 | <p>If <b>Run tests in a separate process per Assembly </b> is selected,
|
|---|
| 197 | a separate process is used for each test assembly.
|
|---|
| 198 |
|
|---|
| 199 | <h3>Default Domain Usage</h3>
|
|---|
| 200 |
|
|---|
| 201 | <p>If <b>Use a separate AppDomain per Assembly</b> is selected, each assembly
|
|---|
| 202 | in a multiple-assembly test run will be loaded in a separate AppDomain.
|
|---|
| 203 | This setting is not available when <b>Run tests in a separate process
|
|---|
| 204 | per Assembly</b> is selected above.
|
|---|
| 205 |
|
|---|
| 206 | <p>If <b>Use a single AppDomain for all tests</b> is selected, all assemblies in
|
|---|
| 207 | a multiple-assembly test run will use the same AppDomain. This was
|
|---|
| 208 | the standard behavior of NUnit prior to version 2.4 and is the
|
|---|
| 209 | default setting.
|
|---|
| 210 |
|
|---|
| 211 | <p>If <b>Merge tests across assemblies</b> is checked, the display of tests
|
|---|
| 212 | will not be divided across assemblies. If automatic namespace suites are
|
|---|
| 213 | used, they will be merged across all assemblies. This option is only
|
|---|
| 214 | available when tests are run in the same appdomain.

|
|---|
| 224 | pressed whether the assemblies appear to have changed or not.</p>
|
|---|
| 225 |
|
|---|
| 226 | <p>If <b>Reload when test assembly changes</b> is checked, assemblies are watched for any change and
|
|---|
| 227 | an automatic reload is initiated. This item is disabled on Windows 98 or ME.</p>
|
|---|
| 228 |

|

| 238 |

|

| 243 | <p><b>Note:</b> If you are tempted to disable shadow copy in order to access
