Interface IFrontControllerDiscoverer
- Namespace
- Xunit
- Assembly
- xunit.v3.runner.common.dll
Represents a class which acts as a front controller for unit testing frameworks for the purposes of discovery (which can include source-based discovery). Tests found with these classes can later be run by an instance of IFrontController. This allows runners to run tests from multiple unit testing frameworks (in particular, hiding the differences between xUnit.net v1, v2, and v3 tests).
public interface IFrontControllerDiscoverer : IAsyncDisposable- Inherited Members
Properties
- CanUseAppDomains
Gets a flag indicating whether this discovery/execution can use app domains.
- TargetFramework
Gets the target framework that the test assembly is linked against.
- TestAssemblyUniqueID
Gets the unique ID for the test assembly provided to the discoverer.
- TestFrameworkDisplayName
Returns the display name of the test framework that this discoverer is running tests for.
Methods
- Find(IMessageSink, FrontControllerFindSettings)
Starts the process of finding tests in an assembly. Typically only used by runners which discover tests and present them into a UI for the user to interactively choose for selective run (via Run(IMessageSink, FrontControllerRunSettings)). For runners which simply wish to discover and immediately run tests, they should instead use FindAndRun(IMessageSink, FrontControllerFindAndRunSettings), which permits the same filtering logic as this method.
