Description

ExpectedResult must not be specified when the method returns void. This will lead to an error at run-time.

Motivation

To prevent tests that will fail at runtime due to improper construction.

How to fix violations

Example Violation

[TestCase(1, ExpectedResult = "1")]
public void NUnit1006SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    return;
}

Explanation

An ExpectedResult was defined, but the return type of the method in our sample is of type void, meaning it does not return a result.

Fix

Either modify the TestCase to remove the ExpectedResult:

[TestCase(1)]
public void NUnit1006SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    Assert.That(inputValue, Is.EqualTo(1));
}

Or modify the return type of the test method:

[TestCase(1, ExpectedResult = "1")]
public string NUnit1006SampleTest(int inputValue)
{
    return inputValue.ToString();
}

Configure severity

Via ruleset file.

Configure the severity per project, for more info see MSDN.

Via #pragma directive.

#pragma warning disable NUnit1006 // ExpectedResult must not be specified when the method returns void.
Code violating the rule here
#pragma warning restore NUnit1006 // ExpectedResult must not be specified when the method returns void.

Or put this at the top of the file to disable all instances.

#pragma warning disable NUnit1006 // ExpectedResult must not be specified when the method returns void.

Via attribute [SuppressMessage].
