continuous integration - How to unit test WIX merge modules? -
i building merge modules wix. batch files calls wix tools generate merge modules *.wxs files run daily build.
i trying figure out how automate testing of these merge modules. things test are, whether merge module installs required files, whether versions of files correct etc.
one idea have write script (may vb script) install merge module @ temporary location , check if has installed correctly. however, not sure if correct way it.
are there standard ways of writing unit tests merge modules? ideas around how go welcome.
i've thought haven't come like. first call integration testing not strictly unit testing. second problem of "right files" , "right versions" difficult define.
i'm tempted wix/msi data defines installer do. it's declarative in nature , therefore definition correct. it's tempting want create yet set of data cross checks implementation of installer accomplish first data set didn't represent? it's hard enough maintain files go application yet alone maintain second list of files.
i continue think , wonder if there's approach make sense @ point normal msi validation.
