NUnit VS Dapper

.NET / xUnit / NUnit / MSTest

This library extends the traditional assertions provided by frameworks like MSTest, NUnit, or XUnit by offering a more extensive set of extension methods. Fluent Assertions supports a wide range of types like collections, strings, and objects and even allows for more advanced assertions like throwing exceptions.

Next, you need to install a testing framework that will be used for performing unit testing in your project. Several testing frameworks are available depending on the programming language used to create an application. For example, JUnit is commonly used for Java apps, pytest for Python apps, NUnit for .NET apps, Jest for JavaScript apps, and so on. We’ll use the Jest framework for this tutorial since we are using JavaScript.

At this point you're going to see a familiar screen asking you to select a project. Here we're looking for a test project. By default, Visual Studio gives you access to 3 different testing frameworks based on your choice of project. These are MSTest, XUnit and NUnit. Ultimately, all 3 of these testing accomplish the same thing, and I've worked with all of them at various points in my career. The difference is mainly in exact syntax and documentation. Although, it's generally considered that MSTest is a little "older" than NUnit or XUnit, so I tend to see it less now. For the purposes of this demo, I'm going to go with NUnit:

Use a testing framework: Utilize a testing framework like NUnit, xUnit, or MSTest to create, organize, and run your tests. These frameworks provide a consistent way to write tests, generate test reports, and integrate with continuous integration tools.

So I wrote extension attribute for Nunit, the opposite of how the retry attribute works.

This is a basic example of how to create an NUnit unit test for a simple API in a controller with C#. You can find more information and resources on the NUnit website and in the NUnit documentation.

Has #NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love for you to tell that story here, to celebrate Charlie: https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283

After over TWENTY years leading the NUnit project, Charlie is stepping back.

Has NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love to hear about it at https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283.

> To attempt to quantify Charlie’s contributions to NUnit is a daunting task. He was the lead of NUnit across at least 207 releases in 37 different repositories, authoring 4,898 commits across them. He participated in 2,990 issues, 1,305 PRs, and impacted 6,992,983 lines of code. And those are only the ones we can easily find; our numbers are sourced from after NUnit moved the project to GitHub in 2011, which means there are at least 9 additional years of work not quantified above.

I think of Charlie as one of the ".NET OSS OGs". I'd love to see him celebrated.

Even those the old backend code to read from a database would work, the code was rewritten using Dapper. Had to add two column aliases in SQL SELECT statements and everything worked.

In this article learn how to create Excel spreadsheet documents from reading data from two SQL-Server table from a modified version of Microsoft NorthWind database using NuGet package Dapper and SpreadSheetLight to create and populate the spreadsheet files.

Learn how to read reference table from SQL-Server using a single method. What is shown provides an efficient way to either use a connection, command objects to read data via a SqlDataReader for conventional work using methods from SqlClient and also Dapper which requires two lines of code to read data and one line of code to store data into list.

Mature c# projects purposely maintain no downstream dependencies and is they do, it's to a major reputable lib. See for yourself - these are staple third party packages commonly used. Anything dependency starting with System or NETStandard is Microsoft maintained.

In this blog post, we are going to discuss how to bind the Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid with a database using Dapper and perform CRUD operations. To demonstrate this, we are going to create a bug tracker database table in MS SQL Server and perform CRUD operations in that table in a Blazor server-side application.

Entity Framework Core StackExchange/Dapper

Like there wouldn't be anything in between /s

There are "simple ORMs" that only map results of SQL queries to objects. They do not provide a magic query API - which is the source of most problems. I don't do Python, but for .NET there is Dapper https://github.com/StackExchange/Dapper, you can have a look what I mean. You write the SQL query, explicitly execute it, the library maps the results of that query into objects (it's C#, so you have to declare the class. In Python I'd imagine it would create the object for you)

To add some differences: EF tracks object state in an instance of a context, Dapper does not. Dapper is strictly for object mapping (taking the output of a query and mapping it onto an object). This makes Dapper far easier to implement, versus EF’s DbContext configuration. Due to the lack of tracking and slimmer wrapping, it’s also faster. Things get really great when you have multiple complex objects and multiple result sets. It takes a lot of boring boilerplate code out of your code.

Just take a look at this Dapper 2.0 feature that's been festering for months years.
