Evaluation of enum rule parameters

Question

Is there a way to evaluate an enum parameter for a rule explicitly? Currently Spec Explorer seems to be passing the value on symbolically.

 

To illustrate the point, I have the following rule:

public enum ALModelRules { Add, Reset };

[Rule(Action = "Add(rule)")]
static void AddRule(ALModelRules rule)
{
    throw new Exception(rule.ToString());
}

When exploring the model, Spec Explorer knows to call AddRule(Add) and AddRule(Reset), but the exception generated is always just "rule" no matter which version of the rule was executed.

I wan't it to give me "Add" when AddRule(Add) is called and "Reset" when AddRule(Reset) is called.

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

if "Combination.Expand(rule);" is added as the first line in your rule-method "AddRule", the parameter "rule" is expanded.
Without this due to the exception, Spec Explorer skips the expansion. Hope this can help.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed!
