Integration vs. Unit tests split

[codebrain]

Hi,

I'm new to the group and am currently evaluating NCQRS for supporting
our architecture on a new startup. The reference documentation is
pretty good, and I've watched the screencast - which was excellent.
More screencasts!

I'll probably end up contributing at some point, but one thing that
stands out is the need to seperate the unit and integration tests from
the build script.

The tests failed on my machine because I hadn't configured the SQL
database. If tests fail it normally triggers a red light in my head
because I expect them to pass.

We've had to do something similar in our current project - we just
used the [Category] attribute in NUnit and filed them under "unit" or
"integration".

Good point. I think we can definitely use more screencasts. But first I'd like to get the documentation up to date. Which means including documentation for testing support, event versioning and the new entity support.

Looking forward to that point. And I agree, we should split.

Patrick posted a message after you where he reported the same error. I just pushed a fix for this, it was a bug in the TearDown of the tests. Thanks for reporting this.

For now that would be enough, in the future we may want to move it to a other project.

Thanks!
