Test Configuration with .NET Core and NUnit 3
Exploring how to set Nunit test configuration from .runsettings files and the local file system in >NET core test projects
Preparing to inject test configuration – Refactoring to use a configuration object.
After last time I can feel that I am getting close to being able to inject a configuration for my tests. Next I want to be able to use a configuration file to set the particular configuration that I want to use for any particular test run. So how do we go about doing that in .NET Core? The next steps are: Refactor calls with many arguments to take a standard WebDriver configuration object. Allow different ways to collect and…

This was not as simple a process as I expected, and has required a lot of additional thought and testing. I learnt a number of things along the way that I would want to be aware of if starting again: I try to fill my blog with posts about things I wish I had known, so this…
