Defining database, schema and datafiles in a config file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would be nice if database, schema and datafiles could be defined in 
app.config or a proteus.config file.

For example,
<proteus>
  <test name="regressionTest1">
    <database name="abc" conn="">
      <schema path=""/>
      <datafile path=""/>
    </database>
  </test>
  <test name="regressionTest2">
    <database name="cde" conn="">
      <schema path=""/>
      <datafile path=""/>
    </database>
  </test>
</proteus>

regressionTest1 and regressionTest2 are test classes.

I started to write an explanation of how its already quite possible to 
(easily!) do
this right here but then decided it might be more valuable to just turn the 
question
into a blog post so I did so here:

http://unhandled-exceptions.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/09/externalizing-settings
-for-data-dependent-unit-tests-using-proteus-databaseunittestbase/

This post explains how its easy to change the behavior of the 
DatabaseUnitTestBase
class using a derive + override approach to add this specific functionality (at 
least
as I understand the request).

Can you advise if the approach in that post will give you what you're looking 
for
(and if not, can you help me understand where it falls short so that I can 
reconsider
adding the missing capability to the Proteus libraries)?

Thanks,

-Steve B.

Thanks for your reply Steve. The blog does help. This is exactly what I was 
looking 
for.
