  • Optimizing C# code analysis for quicker .NET compilation
    4 projects | dev.to | 14 Nov 2023
    Several well-known NuGet packages such as xUnit.net, FluentAssertions, StyleCop, Entity Framework Core, and others include by default a significant number of Roslyn analyzers. They help you adhere to the conventions and best practices of these libraries.

    3 projects | dev.to | 11 Jul 2023
    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.
  • Running a XUnit test with C#?

    The git repo has other runners. AssemblyRunner appears to be the best fit for an already compiled tests project, but there is a runner that can be wrapped into an MSBuild task for example.
  • Setting up a simple testing project with C#

    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.

  • Creating Your Own Custom Attributes in C# and Retrieving Their Values
    3 projects | dev.to | 17 Dec 2022
    I was trying to think of an example of where C# attributes might be used in every day life and then it dawned on me: unit testing! If you have ever used a unit test framework such as MSTest, NUnit or xUnit, you will have used attributes in C# to define the classes and methods that you would like the test framework to execute. This is just one example of how you can use attributes to assign metadata to elements of your code.

    2 projects | /r/AskProgramming | 10 Mar 2023
    Although I'm happy there is a way to bundle Node.js apps with support for pnpm, and for a modern-ish version of Node.js, it's somewhat slow in my experience to build locally. Interactivity doesn't have the greatest ecosystem there, especially with TypeScript. Best library I've found is Enquirer.

    > I don't fully understand why packages like this are so popular.

    It actually works like this: Author X develops `iseven`, `isodd`, etc. No one really downloads such packages. Author X then develops `importantPackage` which does do something useful developers out here download. Now `iseven`, `isodd` are downloaded alongside `importantPackage`.

    My point is, we should recognize certain NPM authors as toxic, but I guess "freedom of speech/code" stops us from doing so. Example of such an author: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/

    Interesting, 845 repositories by the user, and the vast majority of them are simple NPM modules such as this one.

    Has there been any recent instances of someone abusing simple NPM repos like this for malicious intent?

    It doesn't look like so. The author is definitely creating some confusion, but the readme of his professional Github's account (https://github.com/jonschlinkert) says:

    > Several years ago I switched careers from sales, marketing and consulting to learn how to program, with the goal of making the world a better place through code. [...] To date, I've created more than 1,000 open source projects in an effort to reach my goal. Open source software takes a lot of time to create and maintain. You can help me to achieve my goals of changing the world through code, help me create better developer experiences, or just say thank you by sponsoring me on GitHub.

    He's asking for real money; he's definitely not a troll.

    He probably moved that repo away from his profile (https://github.com/jonschlinkert) to avoid being trolled
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Nov 2021
    It's insanely funny to me that these packages exist while one of his bigger projects (https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer) lists the following reason under "why use it":
