Not able to add message while skipping a test case with Assert.Ignore

Question

I am trying to add a message when I try to skip a test case my condition statement. I am able to skip without adding a message. But I would like to add a message for the reason to skip it. But Nunit never displays the message.

if (...)
{
  Assert.Ignore("Data not found.");
}

What should be the solution to add the message while skipping my test case?

What do you mean it does not display the message? Visual Studio? Command line? Which test runner/adapter are you using? What test runner are you using? Side note: According to http://nunit.org/docs/2.6/utilityAsserts.html, sounds like Assert.Inconclusive(string message, object[] params) might be more suited for your use case. — Alexandru Clonțea, Sep 05 '18 at 19:25
@AlexandruClonțea Nunit UI Test Runner Chech my Image. And Let me know if you need any other details https://s33.postimg.cc/rt6bh6bhb/9-5-2018_3-34-33_PM.jpg — user1413, Sep 05 '18 at 19:37
@AlexandruClonțea I know we have below syntaxs. And I tried with first one but C# is actually using `public static void Ignore();` this one. I have no idea what should i pass in `params object[] args` if I have to use last one. If you have any example let me know. From Assert.cs file `public static void Ignore(string message);` `public static void Ignore(string message, params object[] args);` — user1413, Sep 05 '18 at 19:46
Think of the (string message,params object[] argss) part as short for string.Format(string message, params object[] args) (i.e. string.Format("{0}, {1}", object1, object2)... Archaic remains of the old times of having no string interpolation. I have no idea why your GUI is not displaying the message. — Alexandru Clonțea, Sep 05 '18 at 19:56

There are a lot of ways to alter the results of the test, here are some of many. And ways you can view different test result statuses

            TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentTest.MakeInvalid("I want this test to be SKIPPED");
                    ResultState resultStateObject = new ResultState(TestStatus.Skipped);
                    TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentResult.SetResult(resultStateObject, "this test is being skipped derp derp");
                    TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentTest.RunState = RunState.Ignored;
                    Logger.log("After doing things");
                    resultstate = TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentResult.ResultState.ToString();
                    Logger.log("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Result State: " + resultstate);
                    resultstatestatus = TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentResult.ResultState.Status.ToString();
                    Logger.log("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Result State Status: " + resultstate);
                    runstate = TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentTest.RunState.ToString();
                    Logger.log("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Run State: " + runstate); //test="@runstate = 'Skipped' or @runstate = 'Ignored' or @runstate='Inconclusive'
                    status = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Outcome.Status.ToString();
                    Logger.log("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Result Status: " + status);
                    message = TestExecutionContext.CurrentContext.CurrentResult.Message.ToString();
                    Logger.log("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Message: " + message);

Thanks. But yes I ended using Logger.log. I think with new version of Selenium `Assert.Ignore` is not available. That is why I was not able to use it. I had uploaded 2 years ago but impressive you found my post. Appreciate your reply as well — user1413, Nov 17 '22 at 05:30
