Question: How a test runner can give arguments to the unit tests?

[duongphuhiep]

Base on this excellent sample

I'm able to create a custom Test Runner to execute any external tests dlls. Something like:

testReport = MyTestRunner.Run(@"External_Unit_Test.dll");

MyTestRunner wants to give some arguments / configurations to External_Unit_Test.dll before its run. How to achieve that?

For now MyTestRunner will write the arguments / configuration in a temporary file, then External_Unit_Test.dll will read the configuration from it.

Is there a better way to communicate between MyTestRunner and External_Unit_Test.dll?

Thanks

There is nothing built in today (and no plans for anything). Our best suggestion here is either via a file or environment variables.
