MVC :: NUnit Option Does Not Appear When Creating A New App?
Mar 10, 2010
I am just starting to learn MVC and have installed NUnit to use for testing. The NUnit option does not appear when creating a new MVC app, so I followed this tutorial
However, when I run devenv /setup it doesn't work (says it does not exist) and so I cannot install the NUnit template. Surely there is something else I can do to be able to install the templates?
I created my testing project by just adding a class library and referencing nunit dll. Works fine.However, I'm curious as to how get NUnit integrating with VS2010 just like MS Unit.Also any good reading on TDD with MVC 2 (like specific to the new functionality available in MVC 2)?
I am currently using VS 2008 Pro for an ASP.Net class. I got VS from school as part of MSDNAA program. It is version 9.0.21022.8 with .NET framework 3.5 SP1.
My problem is that when I start it up, it does not give me the option to Create or Open a Website. It only gives me the option to Create or Open a Project. So, when I start my homework or in-class assignments, I have to press Shift+Alt+N to Create a Website.
Where the problem comes in is after I start working on the website, I hit Save and it changes it to a Solution. This seemed to have caused a problem with BIND commands being lost in my last homework assignment. Is there something wrong with my install or a setting I can change? I'd rather not reinstall it unless I have to since it is such a pain to uninstall it in the first place.
And the following generic control template writer (which would have to be extended appropriately)
[Code]....
I would like to be able to add an attribute either builtin or something I create, such as
[Code]....
The generic template writer would then automatically create a Select box instead of a textbox for this item, and populate it with the list I have passed.
There may need to be another property set to have it write option boxes or radio buttons.
The question has two parts: (1) Is this an appropriate metaphor? and (2) Can you point me to an example that does this or to an appropriate metaphor.
What I want is a generic control writer that looks at the type of the object, writes the appropriate html, and a way to pass in external data for things like lists and enums.
I have a dynamic dropdown that is populated from sql. The user is supposed to select an option from the dropdown, then click a search button on the form to return some results based on that selection. It works fine if the dropdown gets populated with more than one record. However, if only one record is returned, that one record can't be selected. Whether you select it or just leave it alone since it's the only one, when you click the form button (search button), no results are returned b/c the dropdown selection must not be actually selected.
I've included the relevant code below. First the DDL, then the datasource, and finally the C# code in the if (!Page.IsPostBack)
I've just downloaded NUNit and would like it to be an option for my Test Project provider when I create a new MVC 2 application. At the moment the only option I am getting is the Visual Studio (MSTest) option.
I'm currently trying to upgrade our build server at work, going from having no build server to having one!
I'm using JetBrains' TeamCity (having used ReSharper for a couple of years I trust their stuff), and intend to use NUnit and MSBuild.
However, I've come up with an issue: it appears that it is not possible to test an ASP.NET web site with NUnit. I had assumed it would be possible to configure it to test App_Code after a build, however it seems that the only way to do tests nicely is through converting the web site to a web application
How could I go about this? the testing needs to be able to be fired automatically from TeamCity.
I've see n a lot of discussions surrounding HttpSessionState and asp.net MVC.I'm trying to write tests for an asp.net application and to mock the HttpSessionState and if so, how?I'm currently using Rhino Mocks and Nunit
I've written an NUnit test project against an ASP.Net project. The code being tested cannot find the configuration values (in Web.config) when invoked from my test project. What is the right way to provide these configuration settings so my tests will run?
Im pretty new to MVC and have never tried unittesting before, so i bought "Pro ASP.NET MVC2 Framework" by Steve Sanderson. I have installed Nunit but when i am trying to open my test class in the nunit GUI i get this error message Visual Studio 2010 > Projects > SportsStore > SportsStore.UnitTests > Bin > Debug > SportsStore.UnitTests.dll "This assembly was not built with any known testing framework"
I moved from VS2008 running on XP 32 bit to VS2010 running on Win7 64 bit and just noticed that I can't debug in NUnit like I used to.
On my old system, I just went to Debug|Attach to Process, chose NUnit.exe, and ran my tests from the NUnit GUI. VS2008 would stop at the breakpoints just as normal.
Now when I try this using NUnit 2.5.5.10112 on the new configuraiton it just skips over my breakpoints.
But I have other tests that are essentially deployment tests (you can't test how the production deployment went using a unit test on a build server) and I'd like to use the nUnit framework to run these.But, the production server doesn't have the nUnit command line executer. I'm only allowed to run aspx pages and reference .dll's in bin.What do I need to do to run tests (yeah, yeah, they're not really unit tests--relax) using nUnit in a webpage? Is there a straight forward way to do this, or does this essentially require porting the nUnit winforms test runner to ASP.NET?
I have an app that I am testing with NUNit. The project im testing has several helper classes that are created as public static readonly. When I run the NUnit tests, they all fail with the same error
Im pretty new to NUnit and am beginning the process of setting up my tests. Some of these test involve a database, specifically checking a particular value against a value in a database and if its not greater than the last retrieved value, flag an error. Whats the best way to test in this scenario ? should I write one value to a database then create another value thats out of sequence and run a database query ? This would involve putting a known value into the table, then running the query with another value.
There is no rollback attribute for nunit, so I gues using TransactionScope would work, that way I could return the database to a known state after the test. There tables have foreign keys so that means adding a lot of extra 'dummy' data first to some of the other tables. Is this sort of 'testing' the best way ? I basically need to perform the test based on an existing data value and I guess this must be pretty standard stuff, so whats the best way ?
As I understand it, the tests should be self contained, so any data i insert into the database during the test should be removed afterwards, is this correct ? If so, it means I need to insert test data into 6 additional tables just to test one function, then remove it after the test has completed, is this the normal way to to this ?
One of my NUnit tests has to read in some values from config files. In my main application this process works perfectly well, however when I run the unit test, the code that reads in the values from the config files doesnt read anything in. Ive tried putting app.config in my unit test project (I even tried web.config) but nothing seems to work. Are there any special steps involved when reading from config files in an nunit test ?
Coming from Java programming, I'm used to the general Main<->Test Maven-setup for a project. Whenever there's a new build, all tests will be run by Maven/Junit and I get feedback about them.
I've been looking around and I can't find an analogue way for ASP.NET and Nunit. Am I forced to put my UnitTest-classes in the APP_Code folder?
What's the general way to do this? Are there any recommendations for continuous integration?
I installed Visual Studio 2010 (ultimate). When I click on New Project-> Visual Basic (or C#)-> Web, the only options i get is AjaxControlExtender, AjaxServerControl and ASP.Net Server Control. How do i get the ASP.Net WebApplication option to show up?
I have to convert some classic ASP code into ASP.NET Here is the scenario:?id=1234 , Page1 has two iframes frame1->frame1.asp?id=1 , frame1 has some buttons clicking on which will decide if to allow user to print info in frame2.frame2->frame2.asp?id=1, frame2 has detailed info about id=1 which needs to be printed based on action taken in frame1.Is this approach still the best one or are there any other better options?One option I can think of is replacing frame1 and frame2 by UserControls.
