SnowBank.Testing.Common

Base library for writing NUnit tests with the SnowBank SDK.

Concept

Derive your test fixtures from SimpleTest to get a consistent base for SnowBank-based tests: structured logging captured per test, helpers for assertions and for dumping values, deterministic setup (invariant culture, one-time warmup), a test-scoped cancellation token, and access to the SDK's testing conveniences such as virtual time and scoped CPU-load injection for reproducing load-dependent flakes.

It has no FoundationDB dependency: it is the shared NUnit base used across the SnowBank and FoundationDB test suites, and the foundation the higher-level SnowBank.Testing.Framework distributed-test harness builds on.

How to use

dotnet add package SnowBank.Testing.Common

public class MyFacts : SimpleTest
{
    [Test]
    public void Values_Round_Trip()
    {
        // `Log(...)` output is captured and attached to this test only
        Log("checking round-trip");

        var slice = Slice.FromStringUtf8("hello");
        Assert.That(slice.ToStringUtf8(), Is.EqualTo("hello"));
    }
}

SimpleTest also exposes the cancellation token bound to the test's lifetime and the virtual-time helpers used throughout the SDK's suites.

Testing distributed systems?

This package is the base for plain, single-process NUnit tests. When you need to test distributed behavior (several hosts talking to each other: web hosts, agents, even a real browser), reach for the companion SnowBank.Testing.Framework package. It builds on this one and lets you stand up a whole topology on an in-memory virtual network inside a single test.
