Question

I am writing an NUnit test that I want run only in the Release configuration. Is there an elegant way of doing this with a test case attribute? Right now, I am surrounding the entire function block with compiler directives:

I am using Nunit 2.5.6.10205.

#if !DEBUG
        [Test]
        public void MyReleaseOnlyTest()
        {
           // stuff
        }
#endif

You could use the [Category] attribute. If you mark release only tests with [Category("Release")] then exclude that category in your normal test run and include it in you release run.

So now your test becomes

[Test]
[Category("Release")]
public void MyReleaseOnlyTest()
{
   // stuff
}
