NUnit tests on .NET wrapper of native DLL fail second time run


We have a class that is a basic wrapper around a native 3rd party C
DLL.

We created an NUnit test against the wrapper and it passes fine the
first time. However, when we run the tests again, it always fails
with a NullReferenceEx ception within the native DLL (or on the call to
it, not sure which).

Since NUnit works by creating a new AppDomain each time it runs a
series of tests, it seems weird that the native DLL appears to be
persistent in memory across test runs within NUnit--across separate
AppDomains.

Is there any way for the TearDown to forcibly unload a DLL from
managed memory? We're calling the dll's exported dispose routine
which supposedly frees all the resources used by the dll, but that
doesn't appear to address this issue.

We have the same issue if we try to run multiple tests within NUnit
since the SetUp and TearDown try to create a new wrapper--the DLL
isn't getting fully unloaded.

Thanks,

Sam

I have several assemblies, in separate dll:s, each with nunit tests embedded. Every assembly requires its own config file. I would like to run all nunit tests on the same command line. Like this: > nunit-console.exe foo.dll bar.dll Both foo.dll.config and bar.dll.config exists in the same directory. What seems to happen, though, is that only one of the config files is loaded (bar.dll.config), wich causes my nunit tests in foo.dll to...

Hi, all. I've know NUnit for a while, now I try to use it. Most of application I develope is data base driven. I want to test data layer most with may input and checking the result, then compare with database if it returns right value or not. To do so, I need to save all inputs and results as development, debugging goes on.. But, NUnit doesn't seem to support it. and It require wrong Test coding.

Everything is fine, compiles and the tests work fine on the basic application. However once I add some linq things to it, and specifically the line: WestoriaDataContext westoria = new WestoriaDataContext();

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
