    RequiresThread

    The RequiresThreadAttribute is used to indicate that a test method, class or assembly should be run on a separate thread. Optionally, the desired apartment for the thread may be specified in the constructor.

    Note

    This attribute, used with or without an ApartmentState argument will always result in creation of a new thread. To create a thread only if the current ApartmentState is not appropriate, use the ApartmentAttribute.

    Examples

    // A thread will be created and used to run
    // all the tests in the assembly
    [assembly:RequiresThread]
    
    /* ... */
    
    // TestFixture requiring a separate thread
    [TestFixture, RequiresThread]
    public class FixtureOnThread
    {
      // A separate thread will be created and all
      // tests in the fixture will run on it.
    }
    
    [TestFixture]
    public class AnotherFixture
    {
      [Test, RequiresThread]
      public void TestRequiringThread()
      {
        // A separate thread will be created for this test
      }
      
      [Test, RequiresThread(ApartmentState.STA)]
      public void TestRequiringSTAThread()
      {
        // A separate STA thread will be created for this test.
      }
    }
