TheChest.Tests.Common

The TheChest.Tests.Common library provides a collection of reusable test utilities, custom dependency injection, item factories and conditional attributes used across "The Chest" ecosystem. It's designed to be referenced by consumer test projects, not run standalone.

Project Overview

• Language: C# targeting .NET Standard 2.1
• Purpose: Supply common infrastructure for writing deterministic, randomized, and type-driven unit tests without relying on third-party DI frameworks.
• Usage: Add a project or package reference from your test project; then extend BaseTest<T> or register factories/services in the built-in DI container.

Example Usage

public class MyTypeTests : BaseTest<MyType>
{
    public MyTypeTests() : base(cfg => cfg.Register<IMyService, MyService>())
    {
        // additional setup if needed
    }

    [Fact]
    public void CanCreateRandomItem()
    {
        var item = GetService<IItemFactory<MyType>>().CreateRandom();
        Assert.NotNull(item);
    }
}
