Command-Line Scaffolding for Unit Test Projects

[SantoDE]

Hey there,

what do you guys think about a command line scaffolding option to create Unit Test Projects for our own modules?

I'm currently trying to create such a module on my own and therefore I ended up "missing" such a feature.

Cheers,

I didn't realise this when you brought it up but I've just noticed that there is actually a command in Orchard.exe for creating a module test project.

It was added in 4ce3ee3

You can use it by going to your Orchard.Web\Bin folder, running orchard.exe and then using this command:

codegen moduletests <module-name> [/IncludeInSolution:true|false]

Mind you, I have just tried it out and all it does is creates an empty project inside your module folder called modulename.tests and creates a stub csproj file to go in it.

You don't need anything more by default in a test project as the next step is writing the tests: there is no one size fits all module-level code generation solution here. And actually adding the right references is the trickiest part, trust me.

Closing as already implemented. But if you'd like to add a note about this to the Docs everybody would be very grateful :-).
