Question

Using TeamCity, I’m trying to get a (TestAutomationFX) test that requires an STA thread to run .

It works via a custom app.config that configures NUnit 2.4.x (8) (as referred to by Gishu, thanks, described at http://madcoderspeak.blogspot.com/2008/12/getting-nunit-to-go-all-sta.html)

It works via:

/// <summary> /// Via Peter Provost / http://www.hedgate.net/articles/2007/01/08/instantiating-a-wpf-control-from-an-nunit-test/ /// </summary> public static class CrossThreadTestRunner // To be replaced with (RequiresSTA) from NUnit 2.5 {     public static void RunInSTA(Action userDelegate)     {         Exception lastException = null;          Thread thread = new Thread(delegate()           {               try               {                   userDelegate();               }               catch (Exception e)               {                   lastException = e;               }           });         thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);          thread.Start();         thread.Join();          if (lastException != null)             ThrowExceptionPreservingStack(lastException);     }      [ReflectionPermission(SecurityAction.Demand)]     static void ThrowExceptionPreservingStack(Exception exception)     {         FieldInfo remoteStackTraceString = typeof(Exception).GetField(           '_remoteStackTraceString',           BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);         remoteStackTraceString.SetValue(exception, exception.StackTrace + Environment.NewLine);         throw exception;     } } 

I’m hoping to use something built in. So NUnit 2.5.0.8322 (Beta 1)’s RequiresSTAAttribute seems ideal. It works standalone, but not via TeamCity, even when I attempt to force the issue via:

<NUnit Assemblies='Test\bin\$(Configuration)\Test.exe' NUnitVersion='NUnit-2.5.0' /> 

The docs say the runner supports 2.5.0 alpha 4? (http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/TCD4/NUnit+for+MSBuild)

Probably answering my own question, 2.5.0 Aplha 4 doesnt have RequiresSTAAttribute, hence the runner is not honouring my Attribute…

Answer 1

TeamCity 4.0.1 contains NUnit 2.5.0 beta 2. I believe that should work for that case.
