The .NET Bio testing framework.
.NET Bio uses NUnit 3.0, patches should come with tests and all tests should pass before a commit or branch is merged.
Quick start Windows command line
- Download the NUnit binaries, unzip and add to your path
- Build Bio.Tests.Core project (usually in Visual Studio)
nunit-console Source\Tests\Bio.Tests\bin\Release\Bio.Tests.dll
Quick start Mono command line
- Download the NUnit binaries, unzip and place somewhere accessible
- Build Bio.Tests.Core project (usually in Xamarin Studio)
export MONO_IOMAP=allmono somewhere/nunit-console.exe Source/Tests/Bio.Tests/bin/Release/Bio.Tests.dll
Running Unit Tests in the IDE
NUnit 3.0 is not incredibly robust in the IDEs at present, so results are mixed but here are some suggestions.
In Visual Studio, NUnit has an integrated Visual Studio add-in which can be downloaded from their website and used to run tests in the Test Explorer pane.
In Xamarin Studio, the main problem is that the environmental variable MONO_IOMAP must be set to "all" in order to handle some historical path naming conventions to subdirectories (e.g. TestUtils\Bed\Data.txt) when .NET Bio was not fully cross-platform. In the Xamarin test window, you can right click on any test, then Run Test With -> Edit Custom Modes to create a mode with this variable set. You can then right click and select the tests to run with this mode, which will allow everything to work.
Test Data
All of the projects testing data is in a shared project located at /bio/Source/Tests/TestData/TestUtils. New data files used in testing should be placed here. On Windows, all of this data will be automatically copied by the build process into the output directory of Bio.Tests.dll. In Mono, these files do not appear to be copied properly so we invoke a "cp" command as part of the build.
