For NUnit 3.0 we should re-address this. Options... 1) Allow multiple ExpectedExceptionAttributes on a method, where any of the given exceptions satisfies the test 2) Verify that only one ExpectedException is present and give an error if there are more
This may apply to other attributes as well. ** Also affects: nunit-3.0 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: feature framework -- ExpectedException specification https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2. Status in NUnit Test Framework: New Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Won't Fix Bug description: I subclassed ExpectedException attribute passing to super constructor AssertionException type. Now if I attibute my test method with both my subclass and ExpectedException(AssertionException) I get runner and attribute order dependent behaviour: - R# runner interpretes all attributes in sequence so a test method body that passes is toggled to failure by the first ExpectedException attribute then the failure is toggled back to pass by the next ExpectedException attribute. - Nunit 2.5.3 gui-runner seems to interpret just the first one for: <Test()> <ObservedBehaviour("Code generator produces duplicates.")> <ExpectedException(GetType(AssertionException))> _ Public Sub ObservedBehaviourAfterChangeTest() yielding: Observed behaviour has been changed. Please balance the value of the change with compatibility breach costs. Originally observed behaviour: Code generator produces duplicates. NUnit.Framework.AssertionException was expected while for <Test()> <ExpectedException(GetType(AssertionException))> <ObservedBehaviour("Code generator produces duplicates.")> _ Public Sub ObservedBehaviourAfterChangeTest() returning: NUnit.Framework.AssertionException was expected The documentation deserves a clarification. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core Post to : nunit-core@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
