cosmetic issue with the generated nunit output as the test-case name is built with a "." rather than a " "
When using the -CI flag, the testreport.xml that is generated is imported fine into azure devops, but the testnames do look strange. The "describe" text and "It" text are concatenated with a . rather than a space
e.g. <test-case description="should have managedRuntime set to v4.0" name="The SymbologyServer application pool.should have managedRuntime set to v4.0"
Are you reporting this as a regression from v4 or just a general concern? I just looked at the v4 report and it uses the same thing to join the path to the test. Using just a space would make it very difficult to figure out where the Describe description ends and where It description starts. So I don't think this is a regression. But we can talk about ways to do this better in 5.2.
Hi, I am reporting this only as a general cosmetic issue and not as a regression, I never tried the CI piece with v4
Gotcha, hopefully when I migrate to Nunit 3 format which has the semantics described better maybe I can find a property that would be better suited for the whole path.
NUnit3 has better attributes:
- name (expanded testname)
- fullname (expanded path incl test)
- classname (path to parent)
- methodname (test name)
The problem though is that AzDo, ReportUnit etc only show the name-attribute, even in the details-view AFAIK.
So will probably have to use path in name for Nunit3 also unless you want to see "does not throw" on every test without a way to know which block and/or testcase/foreach it was on.
Yeah that would suck. I tried it as well with azdo and I guess we don't have any other option now than putting the full path in the name, and filing a bug to azdo.
and filing a bug to azdo.
@nohwnd Do you know where to report by any chance?
