For our test scenarios - based on configuration of the application, we may want to either enable or disable a scenario. For this purpose, I created a custom IgnoreIfConfig Attribute like this :
public class IgnoreIfConfigAttribute : Attribute, ITestAction
{
public IgnoreIfConfigAttribute(string config)
{
_config = config;
}
public void BeforeTest(ITest test)
{
if (_config != "Enabled") NUnit.Framework.Assert.Ignore("Test is Ignored due to Access level");
}
public void AfterTest(ITest test)
{
}
public ActionTargets Targets { get; private set; }
public string _config { get; set; }
}
Which can be used as follows :
[Test, Order(2)]
[IgnoreIfConfig("Enabled")] //Config.Enabled.ToString()
public void TC002_DoTHisIfEnabledByConfig()
{
}
Now This attribute would only take a constant string as an input. If I were to replace this with something generated dynamically at the runtime, Such as a value from Json file - How can I convert it to a Constant. Constant Expression, TypeOf Expression or Array Creation Expression of Attribute parameter type ? Such as Config.Enabled ?
As per Charlie's suggestion : I implemented it like this -
PropCol pc = new PropCol(); // Class where the framework reads Json Data.
public IgnoreIfConfigAttribute(string config)
{
pc.ReadJson();
if(config = "TestCase") _config = PropCol.TestCase;
// Here TestCase is a Json element which is either enabled or disabled.
}
