Managed test suite

Ahtola tests are NUnit 4.x with AwesomeAssertions (not Shouldly/Fluent). using NUnit.Framework; is a global Using in Ahtola.Tests.csproj — do not redeclare it in test files. The test project multi-targets $(AhtolaTargetFrameworks) = net8.0;net9.0;net10.0.

Scale: ~2,950 [Test] + ~549 [TestCase] + 12 [TestCaseSource] NUnit entry points, plus the 270-file / ~8,163-case SQLite conformance corpus.

The wrapper, not bare `dotnet test`

dotnet test returns exit code 0 for an empty run (no tests matched the filter). That silently lies. Always go through the wrapper, which parses TRX and enforces a minimum executed count:

pwsh ./scripts/Invoke-ManagedTestSuite.ps1 -Framework net10.0 -MinimumExecutedTests 2500

Running a single test or subset

pwsh ./scripts/Invoke-ManagedTestSuite.ps1 -Framework net10.0 `
    -Filter "FullyQualifiedName~MyTestClass.MyTest" -MinimumExecutedTests 1

-Filter is a NUnit filter expression (same as dotnet test --filter). -MinimumExecutedTests 1 is the guard that proves the filter actually matched something.

Useful parameters

-Framework net10.0 (default; also net8.0/net9.0) — run a specific leg.
-Configuration Debug|Release.
-Filter "<nunit filter>".
-KnownGapFailurePattern / -KnownGapReason — tolerate a documented platform gap by matching the failure message. Use when adding a new platform leg, not to silence real failures.
-RequirePassingClass / -RequireDiscoveredClass — assert a named class ran/was discovered.
-HangTimeoutMinutes — --blame-hang timeout for stuck runs.
-DenyNativeToolchain — shims cargo/rustc to fail, proving the managed lane doesn't shell out to Rust.

Full gate via build.ps1

./build.ps1 test runs the full gate: pack, validate, run suite. Use it for the final check before pushing; use the wrapper directly for iteration.

Conformance gaps

SQLite conformance gaps go in src/Ahtola.Tests/Conformance/managed-sqltest-expected-failures.txt, not in [Ignore] attributes. See the conformance-suite skill.
