Get name of running test in Xunit

Question

Using Xunit, how can I get the name of the currently running test?

  public class TestWithCommonSetupAndTearDown : IDisposable   {     public TestWithCommonSetupAndTearDown ()     {       var nameOfRunningTest = "TODO";       Console.WriteLine ("Setup for test '{0}.'", nameOfRunningTest);     }      [Fact]     public void Blub ()     {     }      public void Dispose ()     {       var nameOfRunningTest = "TODO";       Console.WriteLine ("TearDown for test '{0}.'", nameOfRunningTest);     }   } 

Edit:
In particular, I am looking for a replacement for NUnits TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name property.

You can use BeforeAfterTestAttribute to resolve your case. There are some ways to address your issue using Xunit, which would be to make sub-class of TestClassCommand, or FactAttribute and TestCommand, but I think that BeforeAfterTestAttribute is the simplest way. Check out the code below.

public class TestWithCommonSetupAndTearDown {     [Fact]     [DisplayTestMethodName]     public void Blub()     {     }      private class DisplayTestMethodNameAttribute : BeforeAfterTestAttribute     {         public override void Before(MethodInfo methodUnderTest)         {             var nameOfRunningTest = "TODO";             Console.WriteLine("Setup for test '{0}.'", methodUnderTest.Name);         }          public override void After(MethodInfo methodUnderTest)         {             var nameOfRunningTest = "TODO";             Console.WriteLine("TearDown for test '{0}.'", methodUnderTest.Name);         }     } }

See a similar question in Github where the answer/workaround is to use some injection and reflection in the constructor.

public class Tests   {   public Tests(ITestOutputHelper output)     {     var type = output.GetType();     var testMember = type.GetField("test", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);     var test = (ITest)testMember.GetValue(output);     } <...>   }
