xUnit1021 - Xunit — ContextQMD

Cause

This rule is triggered when your [MemberData] attribute points to a non-method, but provides method arguments.

Reason for rule

[MemberData] which points to a method can pass parameter values to that method; when it points to a field or a property, method parameters will be ignored (and thus should be removed).

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, you may:

Remove the method parameters from the [MemberData] attribute
Convert the data member to a method with appropriate parameters

Examples

Violates

csharp

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Xunit;

public class xUnit1021
{
    public static IEnumerable<object[]> TestData { get; set; }

    [Theory]
    [MemberData(nameof(TestData), "Hello world", 123)]
    public void TestMethod(int _) { }
}

Does not violate

csharp

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Xunit;

public class xUnit1021
{
    public static IEnumerable<object[]> TestData { get; set; }

    [Theory]
    [MemberData(nameof(TestData))]
    public void TestMethod(int _) { }
}

csharp

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Xunit;

public class xUnit1021
{
    public static IEnumerable<object[]> TestData(string greeting, int age) { }

    [Theory]
    [MemberData(nameof(TestData), "Hello world", 123)]
    public void TestMethod(int _) { }
}
