Debugging Unit Tests

To enable debugging and stepping through unit test code when using NUnit:
In the project containing the unit tests add a reference to nunit-console-runner.dll.
Add a file to the project called NUnitConsoleRunner, for example.


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

 namespace Utilities_Tests
{
    public class NUnitConsoleRunner
    {
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            NUnit.ConsoleRunner.Runner.Main(args);
        }
    }
}

 Under the properties for the project:
   - Application - set the output type to Windows Application.
  - Debug - set the command line arguments to the name of the executable produced, e.g. Utilities_Tests.exe, and set the working directory to where it lives.

 Set the project to be the start up project.

 When you hit F5 or the green arrow the unit tests will run and will stop at any break points.

Path environmental variable on mac

To view your paths in terminal type: $ echo $PATH To add a path for the duration of this terminal session type: $ export PATH=$PATH:/my/new/path Note: the $PATH: is important as it adds the new path to your existing one. Without $PATH: the existing path is overwritten with the new one. The disadvantage with this approach is that you modification to the path is lost when the terminal session ends. To add to the path for all users permanently you need to edit the paths file in /etc.  In terminal navigate to /etc. Type $ sudo pico paths Add your path. Type ^x (note: ^ = ctrl key). You'll be prompted to save. Type Y . To view your paths using echo $PATH you'll need to reopen the terminal to see your changes.

Setting up node-sass on a mac

I followed the installation instructions for node-sass but it would not run from the terminal. The message was something like 'command not found'. Eventually I worked out that I needed to add  /Users/my_user_name/node_modules/node-sass/bin to the path. To do that see my post on setting the path on macs .
