NinjaTrader UnitTest

NinjaTrader UnitTest is an add-on for NinjaTrader 8 that provides a unit testing framework similar to Python's unittest, but written in C# and adapted for NinjaTrader.

Installation

To install NinjaTrader.UnitTest, follow these steps:

Download the source code from the GitHub repository.
Build the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.sln solution using Visual Studio to generate the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.dll file.
Copy the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.dll file to the bin/Custom folder of your NinjaTrader 8 installation.
In the NinjaScript Editor, right-click on the References folder and select Add Reference....
In the Add Reference window, browse to the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.dll file and select it.

Usage

To use NinjaTrader.UnitTest in your NinjaScript projects, follow these steps: To use the NinjaTrader UnitTest add-on in your own NinjaScript project, follow these steps:

Add a reference to the NinjaTrader.UnitTest namespace.
Create test cases by subclassing the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.TestCase class.

Here is an example of how to create a simple test case using the NinjaTrader UnitTest add-on:

using System;
using NinjaTrader.UnitTest;

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns
{
    public class MyTestCase : TestCase
    {
        public Tests(string name) : base(name)
        { }

        public void TestAddition()
        {
            int result = 2 + 2;
            int expected = 4;
            Assert.AreEqual(expected, result);
        }
    }
}

This code defines a new test case called MyTestCase that contains a single test method called TestAddition. This test method uses the Assert.AreEqual method from the NinjaTrader.UnitTest.Assert class to verify that the result of adding 2 and 2 is equal to 4.

To run this test case, you can create an instance of the MyTestCase class and call its Run method, like this:

MyTestCase myTestCase = new MyTestCase();
myTestCase.Run();

Alternatively, you can create a TestSuite object and add the MyTestCase object to it, like this:

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns
{
	public class TestAddon : NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOnBase
	{
		protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Name = "TestAddon";
                Description = "An add-on that runs UnitTests on Ninjatrader";
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
			
                // Subscribe to connection updates
                Connection.ConnectionStatusUpdate += OnConnectionStatusUpdate;
            }
            else if (State == State.Terminated)
            {
                // Unsubscribe from connection updates
                Connection.ConnectionStatusUpdate -= OnConnectionStatusUpdate;
            }
		}
		
		// This method is fired on connection status update events
        protected void OnConnectionStatusUpdate(object sender, ConnectionStatusEventArgs connectionStatusUpdate)
        {
            if (connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected)
            {
                NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.NinjaScript.Log("Connected for orders at " + DateTime.Now, LogLevel.Information);

                // Run tests
                TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();
                suite.Add(new MyTestCase("TestAddition"));
                TestResult result = suite.Run();

                result.PrintSummary();
   
            }

            else if (connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
            {
                NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.NinjaScript.Log("Connection for orders lost at: " + DateTime.Now, LogLevel.Information);
            }
        }
	}
}

This will execute the TestAddition method and log the results using the NinjaScript.Log method.
