How to read test parameter value from TestSetting.runsettings file in Specflow 3+ .NET Core project ? Using Visual studio 2019.

[savita]

Hi Team,

I am unable to read Test parameter value placed in .runsettings file.

TestSettings.runsettings

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<RunSettings>

    <!-- Parameters used by tests at runtime -->

  <TestRunParameters>

    <Parameter name="seleniumBaseUrl" value="https://novasol" />

   

  </TestRunParameters>

 

</RunSettings>

Code part :

[Given(@"I am on Novasol website(.*)")]

        public void GivenIAmOnNovasolWebsite(string url)

        {

            var driver = _webDriver.Current;

         

            try

            {

                var testContext = ScenarioContext.Current.ScenarioContainer.Resolve<Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext>();

             }

It's throwing error :

Cannot create an instance of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext because it is an abstract class.

I followed this answer but its not working for me.

I tried also this..but not successful..

namespace WebShopTestAutomation

{

    [Binding]

      public class CheckTheSearchFunctionalityToFindHolidayHomesSteps

    {

       

        private readonly WebDriver _webDriver;

        private readonly TestContext _testContext;

   

        private static string baseUrl { get; set; }

    

        public CheckTheSearchFunctionalityToFindHolidayHomesSteps(WebDriver webDriver, TestContext testContext)

        {

            _webDriver = webDriver;

            _testContext = testContext;

        }

        [Given(@"I am on Novasol website(.*)")]

        public void GivenIAmOnNovasolWebsite(string url)

        {

            var driver = _webDriver.Current;

      

            try

            {

                //var testContext = ScenarioContext.Current.ScenarioContainer.Resolve<Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext>();

                var textContext = _testContext.Properties["seleniumBaseUrl"].ToString();

              }

}

It's throwing error :

Cannot create an instance of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext because it is an abstract class.

Hello Savita,

Don't create a TextContext in constructor like above.

Try to use it directly.
It's working for me now >>>

public static string seleniumBaseUrl = TestContext.Parameters["textContext "];

Regard,

I mean this

   var seleBaseUrl= TestContext.Properties["seleniumBaseUrl"].ToString();

Hi Savita

Support for TestRunParameter is an open feature request for the SpecFlow+Runner.

See GitHub Issue: https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/issues/817

Hi Savita,

I believed that you are missing download/import Nuget package Nunit framework.

Please check my screenshot below:

I hope you can resolve your issue soon.
