Question

Ok, maybe this is a really dumb question and I’m just not seeing the button…but how do I rerun checked tests in the SL Unit Testing application UI?

I launch the Unit Test App, let it run the tests…..then I can even check or uncheck certain tests when it completes….but how do I rerun those checked tests without restarting the whole darn thing? I just don’t see a button “Run Selected Tests”…..

Answer 1

Honestly, I really hope I’m being stupid about this.

I posted the same question on CodePlex, got not answer. I sent a direct email to the creator of the framework, got no answer.

This tells me some of a couple of things:

1. I’m really so dumb that I’ve missed something terribly obvious.

2. No one really uses Silverlight for production applications or at least none that require unit testing, so no-one really knows the answer here.

3. Microsoft’s commitment to Silverlight and support for it is sub-standard, at best.

4. I’ve just gotten unlucky in my hopes for support on this matter.

That said, I found an answer myself. In App.xaml.cs:

private UnitTestPage _page;

In Application_Startup:

RootVisual = _page = (TestPage) UnitTestSystem.CreateTestPage();

Add a button or a right click handler or something, then call

_page.UnitTestHarness.Run();  

Hopefully this helps someone else.
