I am trying to get data driven testing to work in C# with MSTest/Selenium. Here is a sample of some of my code trying to set it up:
[TestClass]
public class NewTest
{
private ISelenium selenium;
private StringBuilder verificationErrors;
[DeploymentItem("GoogleTestData.xls")]
[DataSource("System.Data.OleDb",
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=GoogleTestData.xls;Persist Security Info=False;Extended Properties='Excel 8.0'",
"TestSearches$", DataAccessMethod.Sequential)]
[TestMethod]
public void GoogleTest()
{
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta", http://www.google.com);
selenium.Start();
verificationErrors = new StringBuilder();
var searchingTerm = TestContext.DataRow["SearchingString"].ToString();
var expectedResult = TestContext.DataRow["ExpectedTextResults"].ToString();
...
Here's my error: Error 3 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext.DataRow.get' E:\Projects\SeleniumProject\SeleniumProject\MaverickTest.cs 32 33 SeleniumProject
The error is underlining the "TestContext.DataRow" part of both statements. I've really been struggling with this one, thanks!
try:
public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }
and try using it like:
this.TestContext.DataRow["SearchingString"].ToString();
