Im not opposed to the move to xUnit Sent from my Windows Phone ________________________________ From: Elizabeth Maher (NEWMAN)<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 5/19/2016 5:18 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Lucene.NET to .NET Core
Lucene.NET Community, Connie and I continue to make progress on moving Lucene.NET to .NET Core. The last challenge we face is to get the tests to successfully run on .NET Core. Currently the unit tests use NUnit. There is a .NET Core version called NUnitLite. However, the issue is there is some manual steps to get NUnitLite tests to work on .NET Core. We would have to create console applications for each of the test library, call the appropriate APIs to create a test results file and then work with the CI system to manually upload the results. Also, there is not Test Runner integration for NUnitLite. While, this is all possible to do, I would like to propose a different change. I could easily move all the test to use xUnit. The would benefit Lucene.NET in the long run as there are both full fx<https://xunit.github.io/docs/getting-started-desktop.html> and core fx<https://xunit.github.io/docs/getting-started-dotnet-core.html> versions of xUnit, there is a TeamCity plugin that automatically works<https://xunit.github.io/docs/getting-test-results-in-teamcity.html>, as well as the ability to run tests in Visual Studio.<https://xunit.github.io/docs/getting-started-dotnet-core.html#run-tests-vs.> I believe the long-term maintenance cost for both full and core fx tests would be lower using xUnit. Is this an acceptable direction for me to take the unit tests? Please let me know. Below is the progress of our migration work, for the curious. 1. Remove use of SharpZipLib dependency - completed 2. Update ICU4NET dependency for .NET Core - completed in dev branch a. In https://github.com/conniey/lucenenet/tree/move2dnx. 3. Remove Appache.NMS dependency - completed 4. Move Scheduler to use Tasks - PR submitted a. Pull request at https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/171. 5. Make portable libraries to build .NET Core binaries - completed in dev branch a. In https://github.com/conniey/lucenenet/tree/move2dnx. 6. Verify tests pass on both full framework and .Net Core. - In progress a. Need to get tests to run on .NET Core. Thanks, Elizabeth
