Detailed Description

All TestSteps that are instances of the TestStep abstract class should override the TestStep.Run method. Additionally, the TestStep.PrePlanRun and TestStep.PostPlanRun methods can be overridden.

ITestStep can also be inherited from instead.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GenerateDefaultNames() [1/2]

static string[] OpenTap.TestStep.GenerateDefaultNames ( ITypeData  stepType)
inlinestatic

Returns a default name for a step type.

Parameters
stepType
Returns

◆ GenerateDefaultNames() [2/2]

static string[] OpenTap.TestStep.GenerateDefaultNames ( Type  stepType)
static

Returns a default name for a step type.

Parameters
stepType
Returns

◆ GetChildSteps()

IEnumerable< ITestStep > OpenTap.TestStep.GetChildSteps ( TestStepSearch  searchKind)
inline

Gets children following a specific search patterns. Not recursive.

Parameters
searchKindSearch pattern to use.
Returns
Unevaluated IEnumerable.

◆ GetParent&lt; T &gt;()

T OpenTap.TestStep.GetParent< T > ( )
inlineprotected

Searches up through the Parent steps and returns the first step of the requested type that it finds.

Template Parameters
TThe type of TestStep to get.
Returns
The closest TestStep of the requested type in the hierarchy.

◆ OfferBreak()

void OpenTap.TestStep.OfferBreak ( bool  isTestStepStarting = false)
inline

Raises the TestPlan.BreakOffered event on the TestPlan object to which this TestStep belongs.

This method allows a user interface implementation to break/pause the execution of the TestPlan at the point at which it is called.

◆ PostPlanRun()

virtual void OpenTap.TestStep.PostPlanRun ( )
inlinevirtual

Called by TestPlan.Run() after completing all TestStep.Run methods in the TestPlan. ///

Note that TestStep.PostPlanRunrun is run in reverse order. For example, suppose you had three tests: T1, T2, and T3. PrePlanRun would run for T1, T2 and T3 (in that order), and PostPlanRun would run for T3, T2 and T1 (in that order).

Implements OpenTap.ITestStep.

◆ RecursivelyGetChildSteps()

IEnumerable< ITestStep > OpenTap.TestStep.RecursivelyGetChildSteps ( TestStepSearch  searchKind)

IEnumerable< TestStepRun > OpenTap.TestStep.RunChildSteps ( IEnumerable< ResultParameter attachedParameters,
CancellationToken  cancellationToken 
)

◆ RunChildSteps() [3/4]

IEnumerable< TestStepRun > OpenTap.TestStep.RunChildSteps ( IEnumerable< ResultParameter attachedParameters,
CancellationToken  cancellationToken,
bool  throwOnBreak 
)
inlineprotected

Runs all enabled TestStep.ChildTestSteps of this TestStep. Upgrades parent verdict to the resulting verdict of the childrens run. Throws an exception if the child step does not belong or isn't enabled.

Parameters
attachedParametersParameters that will be stored together with the actual parameters of the steps.
cancellationTokenProvides a way to cancel the execution of child steps before all steps are executed.
throwOnBreakWhether an exception will be thrown due to break conditions or if they will be caught. Exceptions are still available on child test steps TestStepRun.Exception.

◆ RunChildSteps() [4/4]

IEnumerable< TestStepRun > OpenTap.TestStep.RunChildSteps ( IEnumerable< ResultParameter attachedParameters = null)
inlineprotected

Runs all enabled TestStep.ChildTestSteps of this TestStep. Upgrades parent verdict to the resulting verdict of the childrens run. Throws an exception if the child step does not belong or isn't enabled.

Parameters
attachedParametersParameters that will be stored together with the actual parameters of the steps.

◆ UpgradeVerdict()

void OpenTap.TestStep.UpgradeVerdict ( Verdict  verdict)
