Description

This change adds a test helper to get/set app context switch values. The LocalAppContextSwitches class is internal and global, which makes it difficult to manipulate safely in the tests. The helper implements the RAII pattern, capturing the switch values on construction and restoring them on disposal. The helper also provides reflection-based access to the properties and fields of LocalAppContextSwitches so tests can manufacture the environment they need.

The new LocalAppContextSwitchesHelper class is needed by both the Functional and Manual tests, so I put it into a new sibling Common directory and reference it directly in the two test projects.

All existing tests that touched the app context switches have been updated.

Issues

Fixes #3370 .

Testing

Modified tests were run locally and are passing. CI will run full regression.

- Added a test helper to get/set app context switch values.
- Updated existing tests to use the helper.
- Added missing switches to LocalAppContextSwitches tests.

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a new test helper—LocalAppContextSwitchesHelper—to safely capture and restore global app context switches using the RAII pattern. The changes update various test projects to utilize the helper instead of direct reflection-based switch manipulation, refactor the TdsParserStateObject to dispose of switch state correctly, and adjust some test inline data to match the new API.

  • [nitpick] Consider renaming the 'LocalAppContextSwitches' field to clearly indicate it is an instance of the helper rather than the original static switch holder.
private SwitchesHelper LocalAppContextSwitches = new();

  • The removal of test cases using null switch values changes the expected behavior. Please verify that omitting these cases is intentional and that the documentation and coverage adequately address the default switch behavior.

These data sets were just testing that the LegacyVarTimeZeroScale switch defaults to True, which is now covered above.

This harness adds implementation to TdsParserStateObject, and then the test project explicitly includes some of the MDS source files so they get compiled together. I think we need to revisit this approach.

For now, I have made this implementation disposable and updated the multiplexer tests to take advantage of that.

This member needs to match the MDS internal class name that the MDS portion of TdsParserStateObject expects. The real MDS code resolves this as a class type (LocalAppContextSwitches), whereas the test resolves it as a the private field whose type is LocalAppContextSwitchesHelper - yikes!
