AssertEquals

concordion:assertEquals

Create a folder inside your Spec project called "Example".

Create a file "HelloWorld.html" inside containing:

<html>
    <body>
        <p>Hello World!</p>
    </body>
</html>

Make sure that the file "HelloWorld.html" will be included in your DLL file: In Visual Studio set the value "Embedded Resource" on the property "Build Action".

Now instrument the file as follows:

<html xmlns:concordion="http://www.concordion.org/2007/concordion">
    <body>
        <p concordion:assertEquals="GetGreeting()">Hello World!</p>
    </body> 
</html>

In the same folder, create a file


		  "HelloWorldTest.cs"

containing:

using Concordion.NET.Integration;
using Kickstart.Example;

namespace Kickstart.Spec.HelloWorld
{
    [ConcordionTest]
    public class HelloWorldTest
    {
        private readonly Greeter m_HelloWorldGreeter = new Greeter();

        public string GetGreeting()
        {
            return m_HelloWorldGreeter.GetMessage();
        }
    } 
}

Now run the HelloWorldTest class using NUnit.

If you've done it right, NUnit should give you a green bar and a message like this should be printed to the console:
```
Processed specifications: C:\Temp\Kickstart\Spec\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.html 
Tests run: 1, Errors: 0, Failures: 0, Inconclusive: 0, Time: 0,65 seconds    
```
The message shows a summary of success and failure counts, and the path of the output (results) file for the test. By default, Concordion outputs to the temp directory (e.g. C:\User\<your user>\AppData\Local\Temp = Windows environment variable %TEMP%).

Open the output file in a browser and you should see the same content as the input document but with the words Hello World! highlighted in green.

Properties

In the example above, the call to "GetGreeting()" can be simplified to "Greeting" since Concordion's expression language understands simple properties.

<html xmlns:concordion="http://www.concordion.org/2007/concordion">
    <body>
        <p concordion:assertEquals="Greeting">Hello World!</p>
    </body>
</html>
