Sharp Tests Ex 0.3.0 : fluent and lambda assertions for MsTests, NUnit and xUnit

#TestsEx 0.3.0 was released yesterday.

News

The first news is that #TestsEx is no more a “one-man-show”; Jason Diamond is now part of the team.

The second news is that the new syntax, based on lambda expression, is now available (similar to the one available in NUnitEx). You can see an example in the download page.

var var2 = 2;
2.Satisfy(a => var2 == a);
1.Satisfy(a => a == 1 || a != 0);

The mayor advantage of the “Satisfy syntax” is that it is pure C#; perhaps is less readable but you don’t need to know the name of an assertion and its “extensible limit” is the same you have in C#. Even if this feature is available and can be used right now, we are working to improve the failure message.

The breaking change

Perhaps this is the first time I’m happy to announce a breaking change. Starting from this release, to use #TestsEx extensions, you must specify the using clause.

using SharpTestsEx;

Why ? #TestsEx, now can be used with your preferred unit test framework.

We are supporting MsTests, NUnit and xUnit.

For MsTests

You must add the reference to SharpTestsEx.MSTest.dll in your test project.

For NUnit

You must add the reference to SharpTestsEx.NUnit.dll in your test project.

For xUnit

You must add the reference to SharpTestsEx.xUnit.dll in your test project.

For others

For others frameworks you can use SharpTestsEx.dll but, probably, you will see SharpTestsEx in the stack trace of the failure message in your test runner.

If you are working in various projects, using various unit tests frameworks, now you have one more reason to use #TestsEx.

Important

Sharp Tests Extensions is a compendium of commons “extensible extensions” to work with your preferred unit test framework and not another test framework.

The Syntax overview is available here.

Happy testing!!
