CatchTestAdapter

A Visual Studio Extension to run Catch unit tests within the Visual Studio TestExplorer.

Installation

Use the latest CatchTestAdapter.vsix.

Status

• Test result are shown.
• Stack trace link to the source line works now.
• Section
• BDD Scenario
• Traits

Test

The Adapter is tested against the Solution in CatchUnitTestRef and the TestAdapterTest.

Settings

You can configure the adapter by adding a CatchAdapter element to your .runsettings file. If you do not manually set a runsettings file from the Test menu in Visual Studio, this adapter will look for *.runsettings files from the solution directory and all its ancestors. Settings closer to the solution take precedence, lists are merged.

    <!-- If one of these regexes matches, the exe is excluded
         even if it matches an include. -->

TODO

• More tests in ReferenceCatchProject (may be combined with the CatchUnitTestRef test repo).
• Test with VS2015.
• May be an option page to set some Catch test runner arguments.
