Question

Trying to unit test some simple code for a class project, however every time I try to run the test I get an error that there is no home.exe and no main static main method. However, we haven’t gotten to the point where we are supposed to have either of those things yet, so how can I run the test without them?

My code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Home
{
    class InventoryType
    {

        /// <summary>
        /// Selects the inventory type and returns the selected value
        /// </summary>
        public class InventorySelect
        {
            private string inventoryTypes;
            public String InventoryTypes
            {
                set
                {
                    inventoryTypes = value;
                }

                get
                {
                    return inventoryTypes;
                }
            }


            /// <summary>
            /// Validate that the inventory is returning some sort of value
            /// </summary>
            /// <returns></returns>
            public bool Validate()
            {
                if (InventoryTypes == null) return false;
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
}

My Test Code

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Home.InventoryType.InventorySelect;

namespace HomeTest
{
    [TestClass]
    public class TestInventoryTypeCase
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestInventoryTypeClass()
        {
            InventorySelect select = new InventorySelect();
            select.inventoryTypes = "Collection";

            if (Validate() = true)
                Console.WriteLine("Test Passed");
            else
                if (Validate() = false)
                    Console.WriteLine("Test Returned False");
                else
                    Console.WriteLine("Test Failed To Run");

            Console.ReadLine();

        }
    }
}

To run a test on the main menu bar at the top of your Visual Studio…
Test – Windows – Test Explorer

In the Test Explorer window, select the test you wish to run and click on the run Icon at the top of the window.
