Question

I’ve a test class named MyClass. MyClass has a TestFixtureSetUp that loads some initial data. I want to mark whole class as Inconclusive when loading initial data fails. Just like when somebody marks a test method Inconclusive by calling Assert.Inconclusive().

Is there any solution?

Answer 1

Try this:

• In your TestFixtureSetUp, store a static value in the class to indicate whether the data has yet to be loaded, was successfully loaded, or was attempted but unsuccessfully loaded.

• In your SetUp for each test, check the value.

• If it indicates an unsuccessful load, immediately bomb out by calling Assert.Inconclusive().
