Another keeper from MbUnit: AssemblySetUp/TearDown

Now that I've installed the latest MbUnit from TestDriven.NET I can make use of the TestFixtureSetUp and TestFixtureTearDown support in MbUnit (+ Assembly Setup and TearDown).

This has greatly simplified my code. In each of my test fixtures I used to have to have a SetUp method which calls a static initializer from another class to initialize my log4net stuff:

public class MyTests

{

  [SetUp]

  public static void SetUp()

  {

    StaticInitializer.Initialize()

  }

  [Test]

  public voidSomeTest()

  {

    ...

  }

}



public static class StaticInitializer

{

  private static bool s_bIsInitialized = false;

  public static void Initialize()

  {

    if (!s_bIsInitialized)

    {

      log4net.Config.BasicConfigurator.Configure (...);

      s_bIsInitialized = true;

    }

  }

}

Now all I need is:

public class MyTests

{

  //No extra stuff at all

  [Test]

  public voidSomeTest()

  {

    ...

  }

}



[assembly: AssemblyCleanup (typeof (StaticInitializer))]

public static class StaticInitializer

{

  [SetUp]

  public static void Initialize()

  {

    log4net.Config.BasicConfigurator.Configure (...);

  }

}

The rest is handled for me.

Sooo much nicer.
