Property Value

Attributes

Examples

The following example defines a custom AreEqualUnordered assertion as an extension method on CollectionAssert and invokes it through CollectionAssert.That:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

public static class CustomCollectionAssertExtensions
{
    public static void AreEqualUnordered<T>(this CollectionAssert collectionAssert, IEnumerable<T> expected, IEnumerable<T> actual)
    {
        if (!expected.OrderBy(x => x).SequenceEqual(actual.OrderBy(x => x)))
        {
            throw new AssertFailedException("CollectionAssert.That.AreEqualUnordered failed. Collections do not contain the same elements.");
        }
    }
}

[TestClass]
public class SetTests
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void Items_MatchRegardlessOfOrder()
    {
        CollectionAssert.That.AreEqualUnordered(new[] { 1, 2, 3 }, new[] { 3, 1, 2 });
    }
}

Remarks

Users can use this to plug-in custom assertions through C# extension methods. For instance, the signature of a custom assertion provider could be public static void AreEqualUnordered(this CollectionAssert customAssert, ICollection expected, ICollection actual) and the call-site would be CollectionAssert.That.AreEqualUnordered(list1, list2);.

For new custom assertions, prefer extending That instead, because CollectionAssert is likely to be deprecated in a future release. For more information, see Extension hooks on StringAssert and CollectionAssert.
