Delay between tests

[borislavml]

Is there a "nice and clean" way to delay execution between two particular tests using attributes or something? Or is it possible to write such a custom attribute? I can certainly do the following which is of course not ideal and not a good practice but in the real-world when integration testing one has to do such thing.

    [Test]
    public async Task Test1()
    {
        // do some stuff which results in a message sent on a queue
    }

    [Test]
    [DependsOn(nameof(Test1))]
    public async Task Test2()
    {
        await Task.Delay(10_000);

        // wait on a queue to read from the messsage as a result of the "do some stuff" in Test1
    }

Creating a custom TestExecutor should be able to achieve this.

public class DelayedExecutor : GenericAbstractExecutor
{
    private static bool _hasRun;

    protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(Func<Task> action)
    {
        if (Interlocked.Exchange(ref _hasRun, true))
        {
            await Task.Delay(10_000);
        }

        await action();
    }
}

[TestExecutor<DelayedExecutor>]
public class MyTests
{
    [Test]
    public async Task Test1()
    {
        // do some stuff which results in a message sent on a queue
    }

    [Test]
    [DependsOn(nameof(Test1))]
    public async Task Test2()
    {
        // wait on a queue to read from the messsage as a result of the "do some stuff" in Test1
    }
}

Nice, thank you. That'll do the job 🙏
