XrmUnitTest: Skill for Cursor

Generate DataverseUnitTest IDs

Use the Id Generator CLI instead of hand-writing GUIDs or guessing naming rules.

Documentation: Id Generator wiki · Id Generator CLI wiki

Install (NuGet)

dotnet tool install -g DataverseUnitTest.IdGenerator.Cli

NuGet: DataverseUnitTest.IdGenerator.Cli

Requires .NET 10 SDK or runtime (or newer).

When to use

• Adding or extending test classes with Id<T> properties
• Creating nested *Ids helper classes for test data
• Regenerating GUIDs while preserving existing structure

Preferred command

If the global tool is installed from NuGet:

idgen --settings-file .cursor/IdGeneratorSettings.json --input "Account 2|Contact"

When working in the source repository without the global tool:

dotnet run --project IdGenerator.Cli -- --settings-file .cursor/IdGeneratorSettings.json "Account 2|Contact"

Input format

Each non-empty line defines IDs for one Early Bound entity type. On the command line, use | instead of a newline.

Examples:

Account
Account 2
Acme_ProjectTask,Task
Contact,Partners,Jim,Bob
Account 2|Contact,Partners,Jim,Bob

Rules:

• First token is the entity type (Account, Contact, Acme_Project, etc.)
• Space format: <EntityType> [Count]
• Comma format: <EntityType>,<NameOrCollection>[,<IdName1>,...]
• Do not put spaces after commas inside comma-based tokens

Modes

Generate from entity input

idgen --settings-file .cursor/IdGeneratorSettings.json --input "Account|Contact 2"

Regenerate from existing C#

Parse an existing test ID block and regenerate GUIDs with the same shape:

idgen --settings-file .cursor/IdGeneratorSettings.json --from-csharp TestExample.TestMethodNameClass.TestIds path/to/TestFile.cs
