Is there a possibility to run Verify checks in CI without file creation? Memorize received output and check with existing verified file contents?

I did not find any correlating documentation on the matter. Please help!

We use C#, MSTest, Verify.MSTest

sorry. i don’t understand what u r asking for

[blazkovicz]

hi! Thanks for quick reaction! I created tests in my net project, using Verify.MSTest nuget package. İt creates .received files and checks against .verified files, all good. When we run tests in jenkins Cİ we don’t want any file creation there, just want actual snapshot contents to be checked on-the-fly against existing .verified file contents and to either succeed or fail with error. How to achieve that?

[SimonCropp]

enable AutoVerify on the build server:

    public static class ModuleInitializer
    {
        [ModuleInitializer]
        public static void Init()
        {
            if (BuildServerDetector.Detected)
            {
                VerifierSettings.AutoVerify();
            }
        }
    }

then u can run a script to push any changes back. here is how u woud do it in a github action

    - name: Push changes
      run: |
        git config --local user.email "action@github.com"
        git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"
        git commit -m "changes" -a || echo "nothing to commit"
        remote="https://${GITHUB_ACTOR}:${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}@github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}.git"
        branch="${GITHUB_REF:11}"
        git push "${remote}" ${branch} || echo "nothing to push"
      shell: bash
