Vcl Test Runner -> group by category

[santiago 36]

Hi there,

 

we have a ton of DUnit tests.

I am considering migrating to DUnitX.

 

In DUnit you can specify a SuitePath for your tests.

This is nice, as they are displayed grouped by category:

 

In DUnitX you can add a Category Attribute to the TextFixtures.

Does the VCL runner support displaying the fixtures grouped by category?

 

It seems to me that the VCL runner does not support categories at all.

If this is the case, how do you group your tests?

 

What is the test runner of choice?

 

I did look at TestInsight, but the tests are displayed only after they have been run. When you have a huge quantity of tests, it is not an option to run all tests so they are discovered by TestInsight.

 

Thank you!

There is - the second button from the left (the "fast forward" one) does that - it actually has two usages - if no tests are selected at all it does "Discover tests" - when any tests are selected it only runs those.

 

However TestInsight does not display tests hierarchical but only grouped by type or fixture and I have no plans to change that.

Thank you for the info. If I recall correctly I did click the "fast forward" button, but the tests only appeared in TestInsight after I ran them.

As soon as I get a change I will test again.
