I have one test method in which i have called one function and in that function it further calls the evaluate function as which is mentioned below.

protected bool Evaluate(bool condition, string message)
    {
        if (!condition)
        {
            Driver.Browser.GetScreenShot(@SKPConfigSettings.Logging.ScreenShotPath, TestContext.TestName, Core.Drivers.Enums.ScreenshotFormat.Png, true);
            Logger.LogError(message);
            Logger.LogError(Constants.Messages.TCFail);
            return false;
        }
        else
            return true;

    }

Problem is TestContext.TestName is always null , it does not gets the method name. It gets the method name in the test method but not in this way. Can anyone provide the solution?

Looks like its a public static variable that has never been initialized. It is better to use instances of classes than make them static to prevent un-initialized variables. – jdweng May 07 '18 at 06:56
No i havent declared it as static, it is declared in this manner : public TestContext TestContext { get; set; } – himanshu May 07 '18 at 07:01
You will need to provide the rest of the code. Include the entirety of the file as well as the testcontent class. – Immorality May 07 '18 at 07:08
That is what happens when you use the same name for the class and the property. Try making the property name start with a lower case 't'. – jdweng May 07 '18 at 07:15
@jdweng - Doesnt work even with the lower case. – himanshu May 07 '18 at 07:30
Are you getting compiler errors or runtine errors? – jdweng May 07 '18 at 09:26
