Calling Private Method

[Rob]

How do I call a private method without using the MS accessor?  I find when using the accessor the mocking does not work,

Hi Rob,
Thanks again for the bringing up the question. To mock private methods, you can take a look at the following link from online documentation that has quite a bit example to check out:

Please let us know if you still having problems.

I have the same issue as above. The problem I am having is that I am not mocking the private method but I am using the MSTest private accessor object in order to call the private method I am testing.  The mocked objects are public  here is some code to illustrate the issue.

///<summary>
      ///  A test for ProcessIncomingMessage
      ///</summary>
      [DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.XML", "|DataDirectory|\\incoming.xml", "Event",  DataAccessMethod.Sequential), DeploymentItem("TestResources\\Unified\\incoming.xml"), TestMethod]
      public void ProcessIncomingMessageTest()
      {
          var expectedTower = TestContext.DataRow["Tower"].ToString();
          var expectedEventDescription = TestContext.DataRow["EventDescription"].ToString().TrimStart('\r', '\n', ' ');
          expectedEventDescription = expectedEventDescription.TrimEnd(' ', '\n', '\r', '\0');
          var rawDataToUse = Convert.FromBase64String(TestContext.DataRow["RawData"].ToString());

          var target = new UnifiedProtocolTranslator_Accessor(); // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value

          bool called;
          Mock.Arrange(() => target.StoreMessages(Arg.IsAny<byte[]>(), Arg.AnyInt)).IgnoreArguments().DoInstead((byte[] arg1,int arg2) => called = true).MustBeCalled();
          Mock.Arrange(()=> target.ClearBuffers()).DoNothing().MustBeCalled();

          bool expected = true; // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
          bool actual;
          actual = target.ProcessIncomingMessage(rawDataToUse, rawDataToUse.Length);
          Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
          Mock.Assert(target);

      }

When I call the ProcessIncomingMessage method I expect that StoreMessages and ClearBuffers are mocked, yet it goes and executes those methods as if they were not mocked.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for sending the issue. At this point, i would like to ask if StoreMessages and ClearBuffers are internal methods or these have been already invoked somewhere else (other test method) in the test class that you have used in the lines below:

Mock.Arrange(() => target.StoreMessages(Arg.IsAny<byte[]>(), Arg.AnyInt)).IgnoreArguments().DoInstead((byte[] arg1,int arg2) => called = true).MustBeCalled();
 Mock.Arrange(()=> target.ClearBuffers()).DoNothing().MustBeCalled();
