xUnit1025	InlineData should be unique within the Theory it belongs to	Usage	Warning

Cause

Test data provided with InlineDataAttribute is duplicated in other InlineDataAttribute occurence(s).

Reason for rule

Having test data duplicated leads to duplication of test ID which may result in incorrect or unexpected behavior. This usually comes from:

• typos
• test data copying and not updating
• not taking into account default values or params defined parameters

How to fix violations

Remove duplicated InlineDataAttribute occurences.

Examples

Violates

[Theory]
[InlineData(2)]
[InlineData(2)]
public void TestMethod(int x) 
{ 
    //... 
}

[Theory]
[InlineData(2, 0)]
[InlineData(2)]
public void TestMethod(int x, int y = 0) 
{ 
    //... 
}

[Theory]
[InlineData(1, 2, 3)]
[InlineData(new object[] {1, 2, 3})]
public void TestMethod(params int[] args)
{
}

Does not violate

[Theory]
[InlineData(2)]
[InlineData(3)]
public void TestMethod(int x) 
{ 
    //... 
}

[Theory]
[InlineData(2, 0)]
[InlineData(2, 1)]
public void TestMethod(int x, int y = 0) 
{ 
    //... 
}

[Theory]
[InlineData(1, 2, 3)]
[InlineData(new object[] {1, 2, 4})]
public void TestMethod(params int[] args)
{
}
