What is the xUnit equivalent of the following MSTest code:
Assert.Inconclusive("Reason");
This gives a yellow test result instead of the usual green or red. I want to assert that the test could not be run due to certain conditions and that the test should be re-run after those conditions have been met.
One way is to use the Skip
parameter within the Fact
or Theory
attributes.
[Fact(Skip = "It's not ready yet")]
public void ReplaceTokensUnfinished()
{
var original = "";
var expected = "";
var tokenReplacer = new TokenReplacer();
var result = tokenReplacer.ReplaceTokens(original, _tokens); // (_tokens is initialised in a constructor)
Assert.Equal(result, expected);
}
Which gives this result when run:
Best thing one can do until something is implemented in the library is to use Xunit.SkippableFact
[SkippableFact]
public void SomeTest()
{
var canRunTest = CheckSomething();
Skip.IfNot(canRunTest);
// Normal test code
}
This will at least make it show up as a yellow ignored test case in the list.

I normally do something like this,
throw new Exception("Inconclusive");
yes it shows as a failed test, but at least you can raise this in the test under certain inconclusive cases.
I've not used the skippablefact feature mentioned above, but that sounds like a great solution to me.
