@WadeWegner I've read a lot about #xunit (IIRC it's from the same dev that made #NUnit ). It's a lot simpler to setup, but lacks some features that they feel promotes bad practices. I use NUnit at work with no complaints, but I've been using xUnit for my OSS projects since there's less ceremony (setups are constructors and teardowns are handled by implementing IDisposable)

@sjkilleen @charliepoole Thank you 🎉 @charliepoole for NUnit and all the good memories associated with it

#Testing #Automated #UnitTesting #NUnit #OpenSource

(And those are only the ones we can easily find; our numbers are sourced from after NUnit moved the project to #GitHub in 2011, which means there are *at least 9 additional years of work* not quantified above.)

Has #NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love for you to tell that store here, to celebrate Charlie: https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283

Thank you, @charliepoole, for all that you've done for NUnit -- and by extension #dotnet developers -- over so much time. You're awesome.

Few #dotnet #oss projects have the longevity of #NUnit. After *over 20 years* of stewarding the project, @charliepoole is stepping back.

Read our announcement / appreciation here: https://nunit.org/news/update/nunit/2023/01/29/celebrating-charlie-poole.html

To attempt to quantify Charlie’s contributions to NUnit is a daunting task. He was the lead of NUnit across at least 207 releases in 37 different repositories, authoring 4,898 commits across them. He participated in 2,990 issues, 1,305 PRs, and impacted 6,992,983 lines of code.

The release of #NUNIT v2.0 was on October 3, 2002.

Allowing developers to unit test their #dotnet applications.

Do you even unit test? What unit testing framework are you using?

A fun little bit of #oss hacking tonight! #docfx released a new version that runs as a #dotnet global tool. I was able to update the #nunit docs docfx-action #github action to drastically simplify it. It now is based on the #dotnet #ubuntu container with a small tool install. Then I updated the NUnit docs #devcontainer to be based on that, plus our node tooling.

Simpler, faster, nicer. Feels good.

Remember in 2002, when you needed this WinForms app to run your #NUnit tests? No... well I do!
