Is there any way to pass generic types using a TestCase to a test in NUnit?
This is what I would like to do but the syntax is not correct...
[Test]
[TestCase<IMyInterface, MyConcreteClass>]
public void MyMethod_GenericCall_MakesGenericCall<TInterface, TConcreteClass>()
{
// Arrange
// Act
var response = MyClassUnderTest.MyMethod<TInterface>();
// Assert
Assert.IsInstanceOf<TConcreteClass>(response);
}
Or if not, what is the best way to achieve the same functionality (obviously I'll have multiple TestCases in the real code)?
Update with another example...
Here is another example with a single generic type passed...
[Test]
[TestCase<MyClass>("Some response")]
public void MyMethod_GenericCall_MakesGenericCall<T>(string expectedResponse)
{
// Arrange
// Act
var response = MyClassUnderTest.MyMethod<T>();
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual(expectedResponse, response);
}
I had occasion to do something similar today, and wasn't happy with using reflection.
I decided to leverage [TestCaseSource] instead by delegating the test logic as a test context to a generic testing class, pinned on a non-generic interface, and called the interface from individual tests (my real tests have many more methods in the interface, and use AutoFixture to set up the context):
class Sut<T>
{
public string ReverseName()
{
return new string(typeof(T).Name.Reverse().ToArray());
}
}
[TestFixture]
class TestingGenerics
{
public static IEnumerable<ITester> TestCases()
{
yield return new Tester<string> { Expectation = "gnirtS"};
yield return new Tester<int> { Expectation = "23tnI" };
yield return new Tester<List<string>> { Expectation = "1`tsiL" };
}
[TestCaseSource("TestCases")]
public void TestReverse(ITester tester)
{
tester.TestReverse();
}
public interface ITester
{
void TestReverse();
}
public class Tester<T> : ITester
{
private Sut<T> _sut;
public string Expectation { get; set; }
public Tester()
{
_sut=new Sut<T>();
}
public void TestReverse()
{
Assert.AreEqual(Expectation,_sut.ReverseName());
}
}
}
