Describes ConsoleTester, a helper class that tests external process.
Description
When you need to test a console application, this task usually involves calling the application using Process.Start and monitoring that process. The helper class ConsoleTester (located in MbUnit.Core.Framework) is there to simplify this.
- it redirects output and error streams so that they are logged in the report,
- it checks the exit code,
- a time out can be specified
Example
This example launches the MbUnit console application without any parameter or with various combinations:
using System;
using MbUnit.Core.Framework;
using MbUnit.Framework;
namespace MyTests
{
[TestFixture]
public class ConsoleTest
{
private ConsoleTester tester;
[Test]
public void NoArguments()
{
this.tester = new ConsoleTester("MbUnit.Cons.exe");
this.tester.ExpectedExitCode = 0;
this.tester.Run();
}
[Test]
public void Help()
{
this.tester = new ConsoleTester("MbUnit.Cons.exe","--help");
this.tester.ExpectedExitCode = 0;
this.tester.Run();
}
}
}
