xUnit1059

"Test classes may not be decorated with ICollectionFixture<>"

Cause

A violation of this rule occurs when a test class is decorated with IConnectionFixture<>.

Reason for rule

Collection fixtures may only be declared on collection definition classes.

The two most common scenarios for this to occur are:

  • The developer mistakenly meant to use IClassFixture<>
  • The developer is attempting to use the test class as its own collection definition

Collection fixtures decorated on test classes will be ignored.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, either replace ICollectionFixture<> with IClassFixture<>, or separate the collection definition into its own class.

Examples

Violates

using Xunit;

public class xUnit1059 : ICollectionFixture<object>
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    { }
}
using Xunit;

[CollectionDefinition]
[Collection(typeof(xUnit1059))]
public class xUnit1059 : ICollectionFixture<object>
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    { }
}

Does not violate

using Xunit;

public class xUnit1059 : IClassFixture<object>
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    { }
}
using Xunit;

[CollectionDefinition]
public class xUnit1059Collection : ICollectionFixture<object>
{ }

[Collection(typeof(xUnit1059Collection))]
public class xUnit1059
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    { }
}
