Description

The type of ExpectedResult must match the return type. This will lead to an error at run-time.

Motivation

To prevent tests that will fail at runtime due to improper construction.

How to fix violations

Example Violation

[TestCase(1, ExpectedResult = true)]
public int NUnit1005SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    return inputValue;
}

Explanation

The sample above uses NUnit's ExpectedResult syntax. It defines a result of true (a bool) but the return type of the method is int.

Fix

Either modify the TestCase parameter:

[TestCase(1, ExpectedResult = 1)]
public int NUnit1005SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    return inputValue;
}

Or modify the return type and logic of the method:

[TestCase(1, ExpectedResult = true)]
public bool NUnit1005SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    return inputValue > 0;
}

Configure severity

Via ruleset file.

Configure the severity per project, for more info see MSDN.

Via #pragma directive.

#pragma warning disable NUnit1005 // The type of ExpectedResult must match the return type.
Code violating the rule here
#pragma warning restore NUnit1005 // The type of ExpectedResult must match the return type.

Or put this at the top of the file to disable all instances.

#pragma warning disable NUnit1005 // The type of ExpectedResult must match the return type.
