Test With... MSBee

I have started work on a new test runner that will allow any Visual Studio 2005 project to be built and tested using .NET 1.1. In order to do this I'm using the MSBuild Extras Toolkit for .NET 1.1 "MSBee". Here is an example of what you can expect:

First select the test(s) you want to build and execute using .NET 1.1.

Assuming MSBuild/MSBee is able to build the project (and dependencies) using .NET 1.1, your tests will be executed inside a .NET 1.1 process.

If you look at the test code, you can see our test was successfully built and executed using .NET 1.1.

Before I release anything I'm looking for some alpha testers. If you're prepared to give some early feedback on this feature, please drop me an email. I'd be interested to know a little about the solutions you will be trying it with. In particular what languages, how many projects and what project types (Web, Windows Forms etc.) This way I can make sure I have most bases covered before I make it more widely available.

  • Hi,



    Does the latest release (3/15/2006) contains this feature ?



    Thks,

    Bruno

  • Bruno, it does if you uncomment the MSBee related elements in:

    \Program Files\TestDriven.NET 2.0\TestDriven.dll.config

    I hope to get a new version with MSBee support enabled by default out soon.
