NUnitAssertGen

Generates NUnit Assert.That statement strings from live object instances using reflection. Paste the output directly into your test methods — no more hand-writing assertions for complex objects.

Installation

dotnet add package NUnitAssertGen

Quick start

using NUnitAssertGen;

var result = myService.GetPerson(42);
Console.WriteLine(AssertGenerator.Generate(result, "result"));

Example output:

Assert.That(result.Name, Is.EqualTo("Alice"));
Assert.That(result.Age, Is.EqualTo(30));
Assert.That(result.Tags, Is.EquivalentTo(new HashSet<string> { "admin", "user" }));
Assert.That(result.Scores, Has.Count.EqualTo(2));
Assert.That(result.Scores.ContainsKey("math"), Is.True);
Assert.That(result.Scores["math"], Is.EquivalentTo(new HashSet<int> { 95, 87 }));
Assert.That(result.Address.Street, Is.EqualTo("123 Main St"));
Assert.That(result.Address.ZipCode, Is.EqualTo(90210));

API

// Default options
string code = AssertGenerator.Generate(instance, "result");

// Quick depth override
string code = AssertGenerator.Generate(instance, "result", maxDepth: 3);

// Full control
string code = AssertGenerator.Generate(instance, "result", new GeneratorOptions { ... });

GeneratorOptions

Property Type Default Description
MaxDepth int 5 Maximum recursion depth into nested objects. A comment is emitted when the limit is hit.
IncludePrivateProperties bool false Also reflect non-public instance properties.
IncludeFields bool false Include public instance fields alongside properties.
PropertyFilter Func<PropertyInfo, bool>? null Predicate to exclude properties by name, type, or attribute.
FieldFilter Func<FieldInfo, bool>? null Predicate to exclude fields. Only applies when IncludeFields is true.
EmitCountAssertions bool true Emit Has.Count.EqualTo(n) before per-element assertions on non-empty collections.
MaxCollectionItems int int.MaxValue Cap on inline collection items; excess items produce a truncation comment.
SortDictionaryKeys bool false Emit dictionary entries in ascending key order for deterministic output.
NullHandling NullHandling AssertIsNull AssertIsNull, AssertNotNull, or Skip.
UnreadablePropertyBehavior UnreadablePropertyBehavior Comment Comment, Skip, or Throw when a property getter throws.
FloatTolerance double? null Emit .Within(tolerance) on float/double assertions instead of exact equality.
DateTimeFormat DateTimeFormat Parse Parse (DateTime.Parse("…")), Ticks (new DateTime(ticks, kind)), or Constructor (new DateTime(y,m,d,…)).
EnumFormat EnumFormat FullyQualifiedName FullyQualifiedName, ShortName, or NumericCast.
FallbackFormatter Func<object, string?>? null Custom formatter for types the generator does not recognise. Return null to fall back to ToString().
GroupPropertiesByObject bool false Insert a blank line between assertion groups for each nested object.

Supported types

Type Generated assertion
Primitives (int, string, bool, Guid, DateTime, decimal, …) Is.EqualTo(…)
HashSet<T> / ISet<T> Is.EquivalentTo(new HashSet<T> { … })
Dictionary<K, V> Has.Count + ContainsKey + value per entry
Dictionary<K, HashSet<V>> Above, with nested Is.EquivalentTo(…)
List<T> / T[] (primitive element) Is.EquivalentTo(new[] { … })
List<T> / T[] (complex element) Has.Count + per-index recursion
Nested objects Recurses into public readable properties
null Controlled by NullHandling option
DateOnly / TimeOnly new DateOnly(…) / new TimeOnly(…) (.NET 6+)
Enums Controlled by EnumFormat option
