xUnit Equivalent of MSTest's Assert.Inconclusive

What is the xUnit equivalent of the following MSTest code:

Assert.Inconclusive("Reason");

This gives a yellow test result instead of the usual green or red. I want to assert that the test could not be run due to certain conditions and that the test should be re-run after those conditions have been met.


Solution 1:

Best thing one can do until something is implemented in the library is to use Xunit.SkippableFact:

[SkippableFact]
public void SomeTest()
{
    var canRunTest = CheckSomething();
    Skip.IfNot(canRunTest);

    // Normal test code
}

This will at least make it show up as a yellow ignored test case in the list.

Solution 2:

One way is to use the Skip parameter within the Fact or Theory attributes.

[Fact(Skip = "It's not ready yet")]
public void ReplaceTokensUnfinished()
{
    var original = "";
    var expected = "";
    var tokenReplacer = new TokenReplacer();
    var result = tokenReplacer.ReplaceTokens(original, _tokens); // (_tokens is initialised in a constructor)
    Assert.Equal(result, expected);
}

Which gives this result when run:
