FluentAssertions .Pass declaration-CodePudding

After performing a test, we typically do an Assert.True(someCondition). When a condition check isn't necessary and just completion of the test is sufficient, I end a test with Assert.Pass().

I'm using FluentAssertions and have been doing true.Should().BeTrue();. That is starting to feel more like a hack and not in the correct spirit of the library.

Is there some other Fluent syntax I could use to accomplish .Pass() intention?

-Update: Based on feedback, there is nothing wrong with using .Pass() from XUnit or NUnit when using primarily FluentAssertions.

CodePudding user response：

There isn't any equivalent to Assert.Pass() in Fluent Assertions. true.Should().BeTrue() is a tautology and a weaker statement than Assert.Pass(). So between those two I would continue using Assert.Pass().

Another way to explicitly state in code that running to completion is success, is saying that no exceptions should occur.

// Arrange
var subject = ...

// Act
var act = () => subject.CalculateTaxes();

// Assert
act.Should().NotThrow<Exception>();

For more examples on how to assert on exceptions, see https://fluentassertions.com/exceptions/.

A third way is to simply abandon the requirement of an explicit assertion, this can e.g. be captured in the method name, e.g. calculating_taxes_does_not_throw.
