Nithin,
Sorry for not taking care of that earlier.

Thanks much for putting together a stop-gap solution for others to use!

btw how have you been? :) We should connect!

New Post: When will TestAPI be available via NuGet?

nithins — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:57:34 GMT

It's been a while and I needed this for a project. So I created a package and posted it to nuget.org: https://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TestApi/0.6.0.0 . Here's the nuspec that I used. If there is going to be an official nuget package released by the project, please let me know and I will take down my package immediately.

This still doesnt appear to be on nuget, which is a real shame.

New Post: Variation Generation Parameter Attributes

nsures — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:01:38 GMT

Hello All,

I am attempting to use the API at my work and have come across the following error when trying to build the following snippet.

class MyJobsWindow
    {
        [Parameter(0, 1, 12, 24)]
        public int window_start_hours { get; set; }
        
        [Parameter(new int[]{1,2,3,4})]
        public int window_start_minutes { get; set; }

        [Parameter(new string[]{ "p1", "p2", "p3" })]
        public string window_start_date { get; set; } 

    }

Error 1 An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type c:\users\suresh.nanjan\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\SprtJobsVariations\SprtJobsVariations\SprtJobsModel.cs 81 20 SprtJobsVariations

I am surprised that I get this error only when I try to use some string type values for my ParameterAttribute ctor. Am I missing some thing fundamental here, I appreciate any help.

My intention is to use the following form of supplying values to parameter fields

[Parameter(new string[]{ 
DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1).ToString(), DateTime.Today.ToString(), DateTime.Today.AddDays(1).ToString(), DateTime.Today.AddDays(-7).ToString(), DateTime.Today.AddDays(7).ToString(), DateTime.Today.AddMonths(-1).ToString(), DateTime.Today.AddMonths(1).ToString() }
)]

Regards

Suresh

New Post: UnicodeChart.AsciiDigits appears to be defined too broadly

codekaizen — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 02:45:22 GMT

Thanks for the insight. It could very well be in the design doc, but until now I didn't even know one existed. If it was called "readme" or "release notes" I'm sure I would have read it. Sorry for the oversight.

Can you speculate as to release? The work here is surprisingly high-quality and comprehensive. I'd vote for sooner release vs. later.

New Post: UnicodeChart.AsciiDigits appears to be defined too broadly

dennisd — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 00:47:37 GMT

agree. It was by designed that we used the range 0x0000 - 0x007F. UnicodeRangeDatabase initialized Scripts and Symbols and Puncatuations by following http://www.unicode.org/charts/. They were further defined as Group and SubGroup. The UnicodeRange used was the range directly from the linked pdf file (same to FullwidthAsciiDigits). We did not refine further due to the time constrain particularly some of them were not in one contiguous range (multiple ranges instead). For NumberProperty, the range was only used for validation purpose. For more precise result, properties.UnicodeRanges.Add(new UnicodeRange(0x30, 0x39)) can be used for now. We were hoping to refine them after the first release. I thought it was mentioned in the design doc.

Regards,

Dennis

New Post: UnicodeChart.AsciiDigits appears to be defined too broadly

codekaizen — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:55:12 GMT

In the file Source\TestApiCore\Code\Text\UnicodeRangeDatabase.cs the following line defines the range for UnicodeChart.AsciiDigits:

symbolsAndPunctuation[14] = new Group(new UnicodeRange(0x0000, 0x007F), "Numbers and Digits", "ASCII Digits", "latin", UnicodeChart.AsciiDigits);

I think this range (0x00 - 0x7F) is too broad. Looking at the chart for ASCII from unicode.org (here http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf), it indicates that digits are only 0x30 - 0x39, which correlates with my experience with ASCII digits.

New Post: Snapshot .ToByteArray() thoughts

egscott2004 — Wed, 23 May 2012 20:05:21 GMT

I know this post is a bit old, but I think adding this is a great idea. I may try to add it in my first submission if you haven't already.

New Post: Snapshot .ToByteArray() thoughts

rcurrie — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:37:13 GMT

Hello,

I just had a comment on the Snapshot class of TestApi. I've been wanting to modify images in memory and thus was thinking about adding a .ToByteArray() method to the Snapshot class to go along side .ToFile(). Would there be any significant downside to this addition?

/// <summary>
/// Writes the current Snapshot to a byte array
/// </summary>
/// <param name="imageFormat">The image format to be used</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public byte[] ToByteArray(ImageFormat imageFormat)
{
    byte[] data = null;
    using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        CreateBitmapFromSnapshot().Save(stream, imageFormat);
        data = stream.ToArray();
    }
    return data;
}

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Creetor — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:53:56 GMT

Thank you! I can’t believe I missed that. Version .5 will work. Will we need to wait for version .7 before updating for Fault Injection?

New Post: v0.6, Notes regarding how to get the sample work.

billliu — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:37:29 GMT

hi Creetor, please make sure your sample console app compiled to x64 or ANYCPU when your os is 64bit.

New Post: v0.6, Notes regarding how to get the sample work.

Creetor — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:33:44 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if the fault injector should be working correctly in version .6 now? I have been trying to get a small test application running without success. I see the same error that Kurpa 007 mentioned on May 11. I tried to get version .5 to work but I am getting the same error.

Setup Information:

Windows 7 64 bit

Both the same console app and the console test harness are running as x86 on .Net 4.0

I placed FaultInjectionEngine.dll, TestApiCore.dll, TestApiWpf.dll, atl90.dll, msvcm90d.dll, msvcp90d.dll, msvcr90d.dll, xUnit.dll and xUnit.Extensions.dll, the FaultInjectionEngine exp/ilk/lib files, and the program I want to inject the error into all in the debug folder where VS lays down the test harness exe

Thank you for any information,

Justin

New Post: GenerateRandomString(RegEx) doesn't parse conditional backrefs?

Sorry, Matt. We don't currently support regular expression yet. It was planned but never had resource to implement.

Interesting suggestion. Can't really promise integration, but we will look into it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Nithin.

We'll try to get this in the next release

nithins — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:42:47 GMT

TestAPI is a perfect candidate to make available via a NuGet package. I think this will be very helpful for folks to get TestAPI quickly up and running in their test projects.
