Hi Andrew,

I'm using MbUnit for almost a year now and I'm happy with it. However now that Visual Studio 2005 is almost RTM I wonder how MbUnit wil fit in. I like what I get currently from MbUnit, but I also like how unit testing is integrated in Visual Studio 2005. So what are your plans regarding to integrating MbUnit into Visual Studio 2005.
BTW, I have downloaded the latest MbUnit msi yesterday and after installation I've noticed that the MbUnit.Core.dll file is missing.

Hi Melvin,

VS2005 plans will appear on the road map, MbUnit and TD.net work with out a fault on VS2005.

The MbUnit.Core.dll should be removed from your bin folder when you install the latest version. You need to remove the referances from your project and dll's from your bin folder. Referance the new MbUnit.framework.dll in your project and alter your code to remove the referance to MbUnit.Core.dll. The code for MbUnit.Core.dll is now factored into MbUnit.Framework.dll.

HTH

I made the switch recently.

The main reason it took so long, despite being impressed with it, ends up being a dumb reason.

Cool stuff :) would be great to get RSSBandit using MbUnit, its my rss feeder of choice :)

I used to use it but stopped in April or May when I ran into an issue and found the project seemed to be rudderless. The wiki was in pretty bad shape and I couldn't find actual reference documentation on many features that I found interesting.

That is when I switched back to NUnit.

I'm currently porting all of my company's projects to VS2005 and have yet to decide if/when/how we'll integrate with Team System. At that point I'll re-evaluate MBUnit.

One comment I'll make about the docs: They are in much better shape (ala CCNET); however, they are no match for actual API reference docs like what you can create with NDoc. That stuff can be integrated with VS and then the documentation experience is much better for the developer. Excuse me if this is supported and I missed it :)

Believe me, I do understand the advantages to wikis, but would still prefer definitive documentation in the proper format.

Is there a problem with the build server? I have been unable to dl either MBUnit or TD.NET. :-(

The build sever is up and running, may have been some downtime over the weekend but I can confirm its up and running ok.

I have few questions on TestFu, which is a part of the mbUnit. Please somebody answer these, as it is very crusial for my project, which is to delivered by next week.

Scenario 1:
I have two tables in my dataset, say Orders and OrderDetails (with a Parent-Child relation defined). Is it possible to populate the Orders table manually(without using TestFu), and ask TestFu to populate the OrderDetails table only? I tried a bit, but iam getting errors like "Key set is empty".

Scenario 2:
I have two tables in my dataset, say orders and employees. Th Parent-Child relation is defined. However, the EmloyeeId column in the Orders table(Child Table) can be null, and the Master table was not populated. Now, TestFu gives the same error as above.

Any Solution?

hi, I would send this question to the MbUnit mailing lists. A list of support options and how to subscribe to the lists is available on the MbUnit wiki home page.

I'm in search for a Sr.Software Engineer who has experience using MbUnit, CruiseControl and has a interactive development style. Position is with a BioScience company located in the Boston, MA area. If interested or know of someone who would be please contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Jake
