Class AutoRun

The AutoRun class is used by executable test assemblies to control their own execution.

Call it from your executable test like this: new AutoRun().Execute(args); The arguments can be those passed into your exe or constructed for the purpose in your code.

If the tests are in a dll, you can write a stub executable that runs them like this: new Autorun().Execute(testAssembly, args);

When running tests compiled against the .NET Standard framework, the methods above are not available. Run your tests like this: new AutoRun().Execute(testAssembly, args, output, input); Where output is an ExtendedTextWriter (normally a ColorConsoleWriter) and input is usually Console.In and is used by the --wait option.
