Metadata Tests
==============

These tests can be run either as part of System.ServiceModel_test_.dll
or as the stand-alone MetadataTests.dll, which bundles all the XML files as
embedded resources.

Generating and updating the XML Samples:
========================================

Mono's WsdlExporter is not yet capable of generating the wsdl files that
are used as test input here.

To generate the XML files, compile the ExportUtil.exe tool:

mcs -r:System.ServiceModel -r:System.Web.Services ExportUtil.cs MetadataSamples.cs TestContext.cs

Then copy the binary to a Windows machine and run it there. This will generate a bunch of
.xml files. Run dos2unix on them and copy them into the Resources/ subdirectory.

Adding new Tests:
=================

To add a new test, add a method with the [MetadataaSample] attribute to
MetadataSamples.cs, like this:

[MetadataSample]
public static MetadataSet MyXML ()
{
....
}

You may also specify a name:

[MetadataSample ("MyXML")]
public static MetadataSet RandomMethodName ()
{
}

Re-compile ExportUtil.exe and it will produce a new 'MyXML.xml' file.

Then write a new test case:

[Test]
public void MyXML ()
{
var doc = TestContext.GetMetadata ("MyXML");
... test it here
}

The idea behind the 'TestContext' class is to allow "self-hosting" at a
later time, ie. use Mono's WsdlExporter to generate the metadata instead
of loading the on-disk file without having to modify a bunch of tests.
