ModuleInitializer in .NET Framework

[TimothyMakkison]

Hey, reading the docs it suggests that I use ModuleInitializer to run initialisation code. This works great in .NET 5+ but what do I do for .NET Framework as it is not supported? Is there a pattern or trick here?

My current solution is to use a try catch static constructor to run the setup code for the test file that uses Verify. Other than that my only other solution is to wrap the setup code in a try catch statement and and run it every time I call a Verify method wrapper

does this clarify things?

I call a Verify method wrapper

usually when i see people wrapping the Verify method, it is an anti-pattern. can you share your wrapper code so i can review it?

I can't believe I missed that in the docs 😅

Yeah it's not the best solution. I didn't do this, I just mentioned it as a potential solution I'd considered.

Thanks for your help, I'm a massive fan of verify 👍
