JustMock support for Windows 10 UWP (RTM)

[Davide]

The current version of Telerik JustMock Lite does not appear to be supported on the Windows 10 UWP (RTM) platform.

(1) Can you confirm if there is active work underway for JustMock Lite to support this platform?
(2) Can you provide an indication of the estimated release date? I’ll need to make a call to determine if we need to switch to a different mocking framework depending on these timelines.

Background info
Note that UWP (Universal Windows Platform) was referred to as UAP (Universal App Platform) before RTM was released. UWP is the correct term to use for the platform going forwards. Initial project development was on a Windows 10 Universal App (UAP) project in Visual Studio 2015 RC 14.0.22823.1 (Windows 8.1 OS). We can confirm that the mocking behaviour was working with these pre-release tools. After upgrading Windows and Visual Studio from Technical Preview (UAP) to RTM (UWP), we now experience warnings during build output and any tests with mocking behaviour no longer run (throws exception).

Product versions
Microsoft Windows 10 Professional - 10.0.10240.16384 RTM x64 (2015/07/15)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 - 14.0.23107.10 RTM (2015/07/10)
Telerik JustMock Lite - 2015.2.715.1 (2015/07/15)

Sample code snippet

1.[TestMethod]
2.public void ExampleTest()
3.{
4.    // This line throws an exception.
5.    var mockLogger = Mock.Create<ILogger>(Behavior.Loose);
6.}

Sample build warning output
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\JustMock Lite\Libraries\Telerik.JustMock.dll : warning MSB3817: The assembly "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\JustMock Lite\Libraries\Telerik.JustMock.dll" does not have a NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute on it. To be used in an app package, portable libraries must define a NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute on their main assembly (ie, the one containing code, not a satellite assembly).

Sample debug console output
Exception thrown: 'System.IO.FileLoadException' in MyProj.Win10.Tests.exe
An exception of type 'System.IO.FileLoadException' occurred in MyProj.Win10.Tests.exe but was not handled in user code

Your feedback would be much appreciated.​

Hello

We are start building app for UAP Win10. Would like to use JustMock, have used it before and it is good. When is JustMock working with Win10?

Thank you.

Hello all,

We're currently researching the possibility to provide a NETCore build for JustMock. The main probable deal-breaker is Castle's DynamicProxy and whether UWP will support Reflection.Emit

Regardless of whether dynamic code generation works, JustMock Lite can be made to work. We just need some additional time to examine the details.

Hey Stefan,

is there any update/progress on this topic?

Kind regards,

Hello Stefan,

We have some preliminary data available.

It seems that it will be easy to get JustMock Portable (a.k.a. JustMock for Devices) to run on UWP, but that may be of little comfort, because it is only available as part of the paid offering. We have not yet started work on this prospect and I cannot say for sure whether it will be done for Q3 or not.

JustMock Lite will be substantially harder to port to UWP. Not impossible, but time-consuming. At any rate it is very likely that it won't be done for Q3.

Hello,

UAP is not supported by JustMock and it is not on our roadmap yet. We are still collecting requests for it. You can vote for the feature request in our portal to increase its priority.

Hello Kaloyan, 
In fact, yes, the link is working, but only when I'm logged out.
When I'm sign-in (to add my vote), I got to an error page.

Hello,

I am afraid no. UWP support is high on our list, but I can not promise you anything yet.
