Failing to generate unit test for structs #49

Closed OJacot-Descombes closed 4 years ago

OJacot-Descombes commented 4 years ago

Installed product versions

Description

Throws exception "InvalidOperationException: Could not find class declaration." when trying to generate unit test for a struct. I assume this is a current limitation. In this case consider this to be a feature request.

Steps to recreate

  1. Create as *.cs file containing only a struct.
  2. Right click in solution explorer and select "Create Unit Test Boilerplate..."
  3. Select Test Framework: VisualStudio
  4. Select Mock Framework: NSubstitute
  5. Click button "Create Unit Test Class"

Current behavior

Throws exception "InvalidOperationException: Could not find class declaration."

Expected behavior

Should generate unit test.

What kind of unit tests would you write for a struct?

OJacot-Descombes commented 4 years ago

Structs can have constructors and methods (in my specific case a Deconstructor). So, why not test them as I would for a class? Think of the System.Drawing.Rectangle struct. It has quite a complex implementation.

RandomEngy commented 4 years ago

So they do. I had always used classes when needing methods, etc. I'll look into it.

Fixed in 2.3.0
