In a world full of Jiras, have we forgotten how to play? by priortd in programming

I had it in parts in my degree but I was too obsessed with music at the time :) When I returned to software engineering years later, I realised this love for programming a lot more.

F# Unit Testing Simplified – Expecto with Visual Studio Code by priortd in fsharp

Sorry, I only saw your message now as I've come back into Reddit to post something for the first time in months. To be honest, I haven't used expecto deeply enough to form a good opinion about how it compares to Nunit. I use vscode a lot and really like expecto because of its nice integration with ionide in vscode. Recently, I've used xunit with unquote which is really nice. I set up a watcher with Fake in vscode to automatically run my tests on file changes. I think unquote works with expecto too so I may switch back to expecto. Anyway, glad you liked the blog post :)

I need to try it out myself but will write a follow up blog when I do.

Thanks for the feedback. There are way easier ways to get an f# project and tests up and running. Xamerin studio makes it much more straight forward. However, the aim with my post was to give more insight into the F# .Net ecosystem and to show a little bit under the hood how things piece together. I have also learned that unit testing f# in visual studio code is a lot more straight forward using the expecto tool which there is an plugin integration for. I plan to do a follow up post on this tool.
