Question

What is the proper syntax to use when trying to implement the SetUpFixture ability in Nunit. This is what I have but I keep getting an error:

namespace Testing
{
    [SetUpFixture, RequiresSTA]
    public class SetupClass
    {
        public IE CASsite = new IE("awebsite");

        [SetUp]
        public void Setup()
        {

        }

        [TearDown]
        public void TearDown()
        {
            CASsite.Dispose();
        }

    }

    [TestFixture, RequiresSTA]
    public class Tests : SetupClass
    {
        [Test]
        public void DoSomething()
        {

         }
    }
}

The error I keep receiving is : Failure: TestFixtureSetUp failed in SetupClass

Answer 1

Do you have more than one SetUpFixture defined for your namespace Testing?

Per the docs,

Only one SetUpFixture should be created in a given namespace.

Your Tests class derives from your SetUpFixture class. You don’t need to do that. The SetUpFixture class’ SetUp and TearDown will run automatically for all classes in that namespace.
