Cannot Raise Events

[Steve]

I am using the Professional version of JustMock and cannot seem to raise events.  Version 2013.1.220.3

When I call Mock.Raise() I receive 

• NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code.  Object reference not set to an instance of an object 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using MockEvent;
using Telerik.JustMock;

namespace TestEvent
{
    [TestClass]
    public class JustMockTest1
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            var mc = new MyClass();
            var args = new EventArgs();

            Mock.Raise(() => mc.TestEvent += null, args);
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace MockEvent
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public event TestMethod TestEvent;
        public delegate void TestMethod(object sender, EventArgs args);

        public MyClass()
        {
            TestEvent += MyClass_TestEvent;
        }

        void MyClass_TestEvent(object sender, EventArgs args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Running Event");
        }
    }
}

Hello Steven,

As replied in your previous thread with ID: 674260 (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/justmock/general-discussions/mocking-sendmail-workflow-activity.aspx), you would need to instantiate a certain mock object to hold your arrange. I wrote the following example, that behaves as expected:

[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
    var mc = Mock.Create<MyClass>();
    var args = new EventArgs();

    Mock.Raise(() => mc.TestEvent += null, args);
}

I hope this helps. Please, notify us if you need further assistance.

Kaloyan,  thanks for the response, but I am having problems running the following code.  It is extended a bit from the example posted earlier.  Mainly I exposed a function RunEvent() that will call 'TestEvent'.  If I create an instance of MyClass using Mock.Create, it will not fire the event when I call it directly (using RunEvent) or trying to Mock.Raise() the event.

Using build 2013.1.315.0

using System;

using System.Linq;

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

using MockEvent;

using Telerik.JustMock;

 

namespace TestEvent

{ 

    [TestClass]

    public class JustMockTest1

    {

        [TestMethod]

        public void TestMethod1()

        {

            var mc = Mock.Create<MyClass>(Behavior.CallOriginal);  // if i create a mock, even calling RunEvent fails to trigger the delegates attached to the event.

            var args = new EventArgs();

 

            mc.RunEvent(args);   // does not call event when instanced created by using Mock.Created

            // also if the above line is commented out, the line below will throw a NullReferenceException

            Mock.Raise(() => mc.TestEvent += null, args); 

        }

    }

}

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;


using System.Linq;

 

namespace MockEvent

{

    public delegate void TestHandler(object sender, EventArgs args);       

 

    public class MyClass

    {

        public event TestHandler TestEvent;

         

        public MyClass()

        {

            TestEvent += MyClass_TestEvent;

        }

 

        public void MyClass_TestEvent(object sender, EventArgs args)

        {

            // not being hit.

            Debug.WriteLine("Running Event");

        }

 

        public void RunEvent(EventArgs args)

        {

            if (TestEvent != null)

                TestEvent(this, args);

        }

    }

}

Hello again Steven,

Thank you for the detailed example.

Investigating it, I noticed that "mc.RunEvent(args);" manages to raise the event every time. However, "Mock.Raise(() => mc.TestEvent += null, args);" fails. It appears that our current implementation of the Raise() method does not allow non-virtual events to be raised as expected.

I have added this bug in our backlog and it should be fixed for future JustMock releases.  Please let me know if you want to be notified when a solution could be provided.

As a workaround to the issue, at this point, I could only suggest making your event virtual. This should allow the using of our Mock.Raise() method in your tests.

I have also attached couple of screenshots, to show that raising the event from the "RunEvent()" method works either way and the "Mock.Raise()" works only for virtual events.

I hope this helps.

P.S. For reporting such bug we have granted you some Telerik points.

Kind regards,

Yes, I would like to be notified.

Unfortunately, this goes back my SendMail example, and I cannot make the SmtpClient.SendComplete event Virtual as I do not have access to those sources.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hello Steven,

I understand that the issue is more or less a critical one and we apologize for the inconveniences caused by it.

However, our development team is currently investigating it and a fix should be available soon. I will be happy to notify you once again when we are able to provide you with a solution.

Thank you for the understanding.

All the best,
Kaloyan
