Running tests on a Mac OS X console using mono / nunit-console / 4

Question

I have installed Max OS X 10.11.1 with Xamarin. I wrote a simple test class, just to test Nunit tests on Mac OS X and Ubuntu, the class has literally one method that returns a string:

using System; namespace testing_project { public class EmptyClass { public EmptyClass () { } static void Main(string[] args) { } public string helloWorld() { return "Hello World!"; } } } 

And I have a NUnit class to test my EmptyClass:

 using System; using NUnit.Framework; namespace testing_project { [TestFixture] public class EmptyClassTest { [Test] public void testHelloWorld() { EmptyClass empty = new EmptyClass(); Assert.AreEqual ("Hello World!", empty.helloWorld ()); } } } 

When I run this in the Xamarin studio, the test runs very well.

How can I achieve this in the CLI?

Answer 1

Mono enables the installation of a NUnit runner / console (version 2.4.8), which is invoked through a shell script called nunit-console :

 cat `which nunit-console` #!/bin/sh exec /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/4.2.1/bin/mono --debug $MONO_OPTIONS /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/4.2.1/lib/mono/4.5/nunit-console.exe " $@ " 

So, to run tests from the CLI, you can either call the NUnit .csproj test, or CIL / Assembly:

 MONO_IOMAP=all nunit-console nunit-lib/nunit-lib.csproj 

or

 nunit-console nunit-lib/bin/Debug/nunit-lib.dll 

NOTE : The NUnit 2.4.x console is corrupted due to a hard-coded directory of Windows-style directory partitions when parsing .csproj files and creating the expected CIL / assembly location, use MONO_IOMAP to work This. This is not a problem in NUnit runner 3.0.
