NUnit–SetUp and TearDown methods

NUnit allows you to bootstrap individual tests through the SetUp and TearDown attributes. I typically try to keep my test classes clean and one way to do this is by moving logic to a test base class.

NUnit will walk through the inheritance tree and call all Setup and TearDown methods. Setup methods (both types) are called on base classes first, then on derived classes. If any setup method throws an exception, no further setups are called.

Something I noticed in the documentation:

Teardown methods (again, both types) are called on derived classes first, then on the base class. The teardown methods at any level in the inheritance hierarchy will be called only if a setup method at the same level was called. The following example is illustrates the difference.

So if you have a test structure like below, only the base SetUp and TearDown are called:

This is a breaking change from NUnit 2.x and something to be aware of…

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks. Instead of using different websites you get a fully offline experience offering help for a large list of tasks. Many tools are available. Here is the current list: Converters JSON <> YAML Timestamp Number Base Cron Parser Encoders / Decoders HTML URL Base64 Text & Image GZip JWT Decoder Formatters JSON SQL XML Generators Hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) UUID 1 and 4 Lorem Ipsum Checksum Text Escape / Unescape Inspector & Case Converter Regex Tester Text Comparer XML Validator Markdown Preview Graphic Color B
