NUnit already does conversions but it won't make conversions that
could result in
the truncation of values. So it will convert short to int but not int to short.

We could change that, but I'd like to see what other folks think, so
I'll forward
this request to the mailing list.

Parametered test should try to convert data type from source to paramter

You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
This is rather a feature request. Look at below test:

[TestCase(10)] public void TestMethod(short a) { }

That looks quite valid at the first glance but it of cause failed. The right syntax is

[TestCase((short)10)] public void TestMethod(short a) { }

Same problem goes to float type and/or Values attribute.

Would it be possible for NUnit to have the TestCase and Values attributes to convert the type based on the method signature?
