Executing nunit proj in parallel which refer diff conf file?

Leo Danny

We have a NUnit project where I need to execute the code in parallel with different configuration for each instance. We will refer a config.json file which will have the path of some files and user credentials. As of now only one config.json file is fetched and it is executing sequentially. My expectation is like if I have 5 different config.json files (config1, config2...), it has to fetch all the files and execute all the tests in parallel. In my application we will have some containers, if I have 5 container and 5 config.json it has to pick the respective container based on the config.json. We are using the API functions in scripting, so it is not a problem in running the cases at same time with different containers in one machine.

Can anyone please suggest or share how we can achieve this? Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

I have created a single bat file from where different config.json will be executed using start command

start nunit3-console.exe "Nunit.TestFramework.dll" PATH\testconf1.json

start nunit3-console.exe "Nunit.TestFramework.dll" PATH\testconf2.json

We can achieve parallel execution though this but there is a problem, if we are integrating the project with CI like Teamcity this solution won't work. The bat file can be executed from CI, but the main CMD window will be closed once all these commands get started in new CMD window. And once the main window get closed the CI will assume as the execution got completed.

Thanks Laxmidhar Sahoo for your comment,

Hi, I am new to c# and I really dont have much idea on how the below code block will work. My guess is like, each class will execute with different conf file, please correct me if I am wrong. But I want like all the tests in the project should execute will different conf file. For example if we have 10 tests and 5 conf.json files, totally 50 tests should be executed and using each conf.json files in parallel.

Can you please comment on the below code block,
private static IEnumerable GetList()
{
return _config.Configurations.Where(condition).Select(id => new yourclass(id));
}

Here bellow is the code given try may hepl you
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


Parallel.ForEach(GetList(), async x =>
                {
                    try
                    {

                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {

                    }

                });



  private static IEnumerable GetList()
        {
            return _config.Configurations.Where(condition).Select(id => new yourclass(id));
        }
