Why does the tSQLt test pass in Visual Studio Explorer if it doesn't work?
I am writing some tSQLt tests and running them with Visual Studio Test Explorer using the tSQLt test adapter extension . I am doing TDD , so I am writing a test before writing the stored procedure that it tests.
The problem is that when I run the test, it should fail because the stored procedure doesn't exist yet. When I run a test with tSQLt in Sql Server Management Studio it doesn't work like this:
The module 'test_ValidCustomerName_CustomerIdIs1' depends on the missing object 'dbo.AddCustomer'. The module will still be created; however, it cannot run successfully until the object exists.
(0 row(s) affected)
[AddCustomer].[test_ValidCustomerName_CustomerIdIs1] failed: (Error) Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.AddCustomer'.[16,62]{test_ValidCustomerName_CustomerIdIs1,7}
+----------------------+

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Line 1
Test Case Summary: 1 test case(s) executed, 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 errored.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I run it in Test Explorer, it says that the test passes:
Here's the code for the test:
EXEC tSQLt.NewTestClass 'AddCustomer';
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE AddCustomer.test_ValidCustomerName_CustomerIdIs1
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @customerName NVARCHAR(40) = 'John Doe'
EXEC dbo.AddCustomer @customerName
DECLARE @expected INT = 1
, @actual INT = (SELECT CustomerID
FROM dbo.Customer
WHERE Name = @customerName)
EXEC tSQLt.AssertEquals @expected, @actual
END
GO
And here is the table dbo.Customer
:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Customer
(
CustomerID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1)
, Name NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
)
EDIT . I modified the test to just call tSQLt.Fail
:
EXEC tSQLt.NewTestClass 'AddCustomer';
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE AddCustomer.test_ValidCustomerName_CustomerIdIs1
AS
BEGIN
EXEC tSQLt.Fail 'Test should fail'
END
GO
The test still fails in Sql Server Management Studio, but submits to Test Explorer.

I updated my test adapter for visual studio 2017 and fixed a couple of issues. I ran this code here and cannot reproduce it (tests crash in visual studio).
Grab the latest version:
If you need support for vs 2015 please let me know, I hesitate as it means keeping two versions.
