Usage

Derive your test classes from Tests (or Base) and pass the xUnit ITestOutputHelper through the constructor. Tests also loads the environment variables from Properties\launchSettings.json (when present) before your tests run.

using Unit_Tests.Common;

public class MyTests(ITestOutputHelper console) : Tests(console)
{
    [Fact]
    public void Example()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello from a unit test");
        Assert.True(true);
    }
}

The package selects the matching test framework for each target framework:

  • .NET Framework 4.5 - 4.7.1 and .NET Standard: xUnit 2.x
  • .NET Framework 4.7.2+ and .NET 8+: xUnit v3
