| 27 | <h3>SuiteBuilders (NUnit 2.4)</h3>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <h4>Purpose</h4>
|
|---|
| 30 | <p>A SuiteBuilder is an addin used to build a test fixture from a type. NUnit itself
|
|---|
| 31 | uses a SuiteBuilder to recognize and build TestFixtures.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | <h4>Extension Point</h4>
|
|---|
| 34 | <p>An addin may use the host to access this extension point by name:
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 37 | IExtensionPoint suiteBuilders = host.GetExtensionPoint( "SuiteBuilders" );</pre>
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | <h4>Interface</h4>
|
|---|
| 40 | <p>The extension object passed to Install must implement the ISuiteBuilder interface:
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 43 | public interface ISuiteBuilder
|
|---|
| 44 | {
|
|---|
| 45 | bool CanBuildFrom( Type type );
|
|---|
| 46 | Test BuildFrom( Type type );
|
|---|
| 47 | }
|
|---|
| 48 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | <p>CanBuildFrom should return true if the specified Type is one from which
|
|---|
| 51 | the builder is able to create a fixture. This usually involve examining
|
|---|
| 52 | the Type and its attriutes.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | <p>The BuildFrom method should return a test fixture completely populated
|
|---|
| 55 | with its contained test cases. Return null if it is not possible to
|
|---|
| 56 | build a fixture using the provided Type.
