    In a recent post I described the various ways you can pass data to xUnit theory tests using attributes such as [InlineData], [ClassData], or [MemberData]. For the latter two, you create a property, method or class that returns IEnumerable<object[]>, where each object[] item contains the arguments for…

  2. Creating a custom xUnit theory test DataAttribute to load data from JSON files

    In my last post, I described the various ways to pass data to an xUnit [Theory] test. These are: [InlineData] - Pass the data for the theory test method parameters as arguments to the attribute [ClassData] - Create a custom class that implements IEnumerable<object[]>, and use this…

  3. Creating parameterised tests in xUnit with [InlineData], [ClassData], and [MemberData]

    In this post I provide an introduction to creating parmeterised tests using xUnit's [Theory] tests, and how you can pass data into your test methods. I'll cover the common [InlineData] attribute, and also the [ClassData] and [MemberData] attributes. In the next post, I'll show how to load data in other…

    This post describes a problem I ran into when converting a test project from .NET Framework to .NET Core. The test project was a console app, so that specific tests could easily be run from the command line, as well as using the normal xUnit console runner. Unfortunately, after converting…
