Using ReturnsAsync When Automocking

[Drew]

JustMock supports .ReturnsAsync() when arranging standard mocks, however I am unable to find a way to get this same behavior when Automocking with a MockingContainer<T>.

A solution I've found is to wrap the return value in Task.FromResult<T>(). This fulfills the expected Task<T> return type of the async function, however the syntax is a bit clunky.

service
    .Arrange<IRepository>(r => r.SomeAsyncMethod("input"))
    .Returns(Task.FromResult<ISomeModel>(resultModel));

Ideally, I would like to avoid building the Task<T> return values manually and just rely on .ReturnsAsync() to handle the conversion.

service
    .Arrange<IRepository>(r => r.SomeAsyncMethod("input"))
    .ReturnsAsync(resultModel);

It's possible the APIs just aren't there, but I want to ensure I'm not just missing some special syntax to get it working.

Hi Drew,

You are right.

JustMock is missing ReturnsAsync methods for automocking. The only way to mock async method for a container at the moment is to use regular Returns method and Task.FromResult.

I logged a feature request here.
