Overview

This PR implements a source generator that creates assertion methods from existing boolean-returning methods using declarative attributes. The system is well-architected and provides significant value by reducing boilerplate while maintaining type safety.

✅ Strengths

Architecture & Design

• Clean separation: The attribute-based declarative approach is elegant and maintainable
• Comprehensive coverage: Handles instance methods, static methods, properties, extension methods, and generic scenarios
• Dual-mode compatibility: Maintains TUnit's philosophy of source-generated + reflection modes
• Excellent naming: Class names like StringStartsWithWithStringAssertCondition clearly indicate the generated assertion

Code Quality

• Proper error handling: TU0001 diagnostic for missing methods (AssertionMethodGenerator.cs:197-206)
• Thread safety: Immutable data structures and proper concurrent collections usage
• Null safety: Comprehensive null checks in generated code (AssertionMethodGenerator.cs:358-365)
• Modern C# patterns: Uses records, pattern matching, and nullable reference types effectively

Test Coverage

• Snapshot testing: 15 verified test files across multiple .NET versions ensure consistent output
• Multiple scenarios: Tests cover char, enum, path, string, and URI assertions
• Cross-platform verification: Separate snapshots for .NET Framework, .NET 8, and .NET 9

🔍 Areas for Improvement

Performance Considerations

Medium Priority - The source generator performs multiple lookups for the same methods:

// Lines 231-241 and 155-171 duplicate method lookup logic
var methodMembers = attributeData.ContainingType.GetMembers(attributeData.MethodName)
    .OfType<IMethodSymbol>()
    .Where(/* complex filtering */)
    .OrderBy(m => m.Parameters.Length)
    .ToArray();

Recommendation: Extract method lookup into a shared function to avoid duplication and improve maintainability.

Code Duplication

Low Priority - Some logic is repeated between assert condition generation and extension method generation. Consider creating shared helper methods for common patterns.

Edge Case Handling

Low Priority - The generator assumes System.Type parameters indicate generic type requirements (AssertionMethodGenerator.cs:164-165). This could be more robust with additional validation.

🛡️ Security Assessment

✅ No security concerns identified

• No dynamic code execution or reflection at runtime
• No user input concatenation in generated code
• Proper validation of attribute parameters before generation
• Generated code follows safe patterns

🚀 Performance Impact

✅ Positive performance impact

• Compile-time generation eliminates runtime reflection costs
• Generated assertion classes are optimized for the specific use case
• Maintains TUnit's performance-first philosophy

📋 Minor Issues

Code Style

1. Duplicate using statement in UriAssertionExtensions.cs:1-2 and CharAssertionExtensions.cs:1-2
2. Unused features: TreatAsInstance and RequiresGenericTypeParameter properties aren't used in the current extension classes but are implemented in the generator

Documentation

The CreateAssertionAttribute is well-documented, but consider adding XML docs to the generator class for future maintainers.

🎯 Recommendations

High Priority

• ✅ Already addressed: Error handling and diagnostics are properly implemented

Medium Priority

1. Refactor method lookup logic to eliminate duplication between lines 155-171 and 231-241
2. Add integration tests that verify the generated assertions work correctly at runtime

Low Priority

1. Fix duplicate using statements in extension files
2. Consider caching symbol lookups if performance becomes an issue during large builds

🏆 Conclusion

This is an excellent implementation that demonstrates deep understanding of Roslyn source generators and TUnit's architecture. The code is well-structured, thoroughly tested, and provides significant value to the framework. The performance implications are positive, and no security concerns were identified.

The PR successfully maintains behavioral parity between source-generated and reflection modes while providing a clean, extensible API for creating assertions from boolean methods.

Recommendation: Approve ✅
