Newbie: How to run test from command line
brucekissinger opened this issue · 3 comments
I have used Cucumber with Java and Python in the past, but need to test a .NET console app. In the readme file there is a statement "If you use command line to run unit tests, simply run them as always. You should see the scenario full name in the results as a newly added unit test name."
Can anyone provide a specific example of how to do this?
If I run the command "dotnet test", I get a message "Starting test execution, please wait..." and then get a warning "No test is available in [DIRECTORY] Make sure that test discoverer & executors are registered and platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again."
If you get an error that "No test is available in [DIRECTORY]" then probably you are not standing in the directory where the solution is. Is that the case?
As a proof of concept, try downloading the source code and go to the /source path and run dotnet test command inside it. I just tried it and I see the results of all the tests, for regular unit tests plus BDD tests.
Yes - you are correct. Works perfectly. I had my main source files in one directory and my feature file and test code in a different directory and was inside the test directory when I attempted to execute the tests.
Good. Please close the ticket if your question is answered and no other issues. I've also updated the home page readme file to specify what I meant by the command line execution. Next time there will be less confusion I think.
