Soon I will post a new blog entry describing how to set up continuous Integration with ExpressUnit and Hudson

I agree. That is a useful feature.
I have uploaded a new version (ver 2.2) where this is supported.

Just set the RunTestsAtStartup config setting in app.config in the ExpressUnitGui project to True (The value is case sensitive), and all tests will be run on startup.

The default value is False

Cool. That did the trick. Thanks!

One more question – to get the test to run once the ExpressUnit GUI comes up I need to right-click on the specific test in the left pane and select RUN. Is there a way to get ExpressUnit to run the tests immediately when it comes up?

Hi Sagi.
It looks like you are just missing a using statement.
Just add the following to the top of the class:

using ExpressUnitModel;

This will tell the compiler where the attributes are defined

Thanks, I followed the instructions and added a class to the ExpressUnitGui project:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ExpressUnitGui
{
[TestClass]
public class TimerTest
{
[UnitTest]
public void AddTest()
{
Confirm.Equals(4, 2 + 2);
}

}
}

I’m getting errors about the TestClass and UnitTest attributes not being found.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I’m missing something very basic here, I’m a newbie with VC#

The easiest way is to just add the ExpressUnitGui project to your solution. (Described as step 1-4 in the article above)
That way you can add all test to the added project

I have just downloaded the project from google code but I don’t know how to install it. I guess I need to grab the ExpressUnitModel.dll from the bin/Release and add a reference to it in my project but I’m not sure regarding the Gui.exe and whether anything else is needed.
Thanks,

As an alternative to NUnit, feel free to check out my own tool: ExpressUnit

Hi Torgeir,

I have been using Express Unit pretty heavily for the last couple of weeks. To make some improvements, I downloaded the source code from Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/expressunit/source/browse/trunk/TestFramework.zip

It appears that you have recently uploaded new versions of the GUI client to Google Code, but you do not appear to be uploading source code for the ExpressUnit DLLs recently.

Please upload source code for the ExpressUnit DLLs each time you release a new GUI client. Thanks.
