In the teardown event during an NUnit test how can I get to the attribute applied to the method that was just tested?

Question

I have a test method that is run. When the method generates an exception I want to know what the name of the test was and the exception content.

In the teardown for the test I want to get access to this information. How would I get access to it from the [TearDown] attributed method?

Answer 1

You can access text context objects in test tear down method

[TearDown]
public void TestTearDown()
{
  // inc. class name
  var fullNameOfTheMethod = NUnit.Framework.TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.FullName; 
  // method name only
  var methodName = NUnit.Framework.TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name;
  // the state of the test execution
  var state = NUnit.Framework.TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.State; // TestState enum
}

I don't know which version was first to support it, but mine is 24.
