Problem using Arg.IsAny<T> when mocking private method

[Asim]

Hi!

When I use Arg.IsAny in the arrange for a private method, as follows:

 

Mock.NonPublic.Arrange<bool>(

target,

"IsUSPriceChangeOnCanadianAdoptedRSTitle",

mockedDBTrans,

Arg.IsAny<TitleRequestDataset.TitleRequestRow>())

.DoInstead( () => {calledIsUSPriceChangeOnCanadianAdoptedRSTitle =  true;} )

.Returns(true);

 
I get an ArgumentException at run time with the following message:

Direct null valued argument for non-public member is not supported. Use ArgExpr.IsNull<T>() or other members from ArgExpr wrapper class to provide your specification.

Please advise on how to get around this.

Thanks,
Asim

Hi Asim,

Thanks again for sending the issue. For mocking non-public members instead of using Arg.IsAny<T> you have to use ArgExpr.IsAny<T>.

Here I created a sample test using ArgExpr.IsAny<T> that worked as expected:

public void ShouldInvokeFakeMethodWhenSetupWithArgIsAnyForNonPublic()
{
    var foo = new Foo();

    Mock.NonPublic.Arrange<string>(foo, "GetConnection", ArgExpr.IsAny<string>()).Returns("telerik");

    Assert.AreEqual("telerik", foo.Connection);
}

The class for which the sample test is created looks like:

public class Foo
{
    public string Connection
    {
        get
        {
            return GetConnection("telerik");
        }
    }

    private string GetConnection(string connection)
    {
        return string.Empty;
    }
}

Hope that answers your question. Please let me know if you still having issues.
