I confess up front that of all of the hundreds of skills I've had to learn over the years, at this point I'm still not up on unit testing. I haven't used the tools once, haven't read a book or done my homework on this one, and don't know AAA from the company that tows my car. In JustMock I think I see a tool that can help with common development. I just don't want to have to research another paradigm like unit testing (yet) in order to use what seems like a great tool. But all of the examples seem to be completely based on unit testing.

Here is an example of how I'd like to use JustMock. I have an ASP.NET app that makes synchronous WebRequests out to other sites to aggregate results. My code might look something like this:

IList<ClassA> GetGridData(string info) {

IList<ClassA> list = LibraryX.DoSomething(info); // web request done in here

if (list.Count == 0)

list = null;

return list;

}

The problem is that I in testing through Visual Studio I don't have the live web server environment, and I don't want to have to do a live call through LibraryX to get a IList<ClassA> that I need elsewhere in my code. It would be great if I could generate that list without having to write the manual code to generate N instances of ClassA. The issue is compounded when ClassA is sealed and instances are constructed internally in LibraryX, and I actually can't manually create those instances anyway without a lot of grief.

So can I do something like this?

IList<ClassA> GetGridData(string info) {

#if Testing

IList<ClassA> list = Mock.Create<IList<ClassA>>(info);

// or....

IList<ClassA> list = Mock.Create<LibraryX.ClassAFactory>().DoSomething(info);

#else

IList<ClassA> list = LibraryX.ClassAFactory.DoSomething(info); // web request done in here

#endif

if (list.Count == 0)

list = null;

return list;

}

As I see it, JustMock doesn't seem to have the tools it needs to create a mock list of ClassA objects ... or maybe that's exactly what JustMock is great at doing!? I really don't know because I'm not "getting" this from any of the documentation. Is there something else that does what I want here? Or is the universal solution still to just lump it and do it all manually?

Thanks!

Mock cannot detect the profiler. Strange.

I'm running Nunit with this profiler settings in 32bit. In the event log, it clearly shows that the profiler is running.But when I run "Mock.IsProfilerEnabled", it returns false. When I tried to create a sealed class, it said "Telerik.JustMock.MockException : Could not create mock from sealed class when profiler is not enabled.". The strange thing is, it was working at one point yesterday. Today, reboot the machine a couple of times, now it doesn't work.

Environment Variables
set COR_ENABLE_PROFILING=0x1
set COR_PROFILER={D1087F67-BEE8-4f53-B27A-4E01F64F3DA8}
(I tried without COMPLUS_ProfAPI_ProfilerCompatibilitySetting too.)
set COMPLUS_ProfAPI_ProfilerCompatibilitySetting=EnableV2Profiler

EVENT LOG
.NET Runtime version 4.0.30319.239 - The profiler was loaded successfully. Profiler CLSID: '{D1087F67-BEE8-4f53-B27A-4E01F64F3DA8}'. Process ID (decimal): 6968. Message ID: [0x2507].

Mocking Static Private Constructor

Hi,

Is there a way to mock a private static constructor?

I got an static class with a private static constructor and I don't want to execute it because it configures himself from a configuration within the app.config.

I just want to mock one of is method but the constructor is always call causing the test to throw an exception.

Here an example thats illustrate my problem:

I got a static class like this

public static class StaticClassWithPrivateStaticConstructor

{

private static string _text = "Text";

static StaticClassWithPrivateStaticConstructor()

{

throw new Exception();

}

public static string Text

{

get { return _text; }

}

I want to be able to test Text property without executing the static constructor.

[TestMethod]

public void MockStaticConstructor()

{

Mock.SetupStatic(typeof(StaticClassWithPrivateStaticConstructor));

Assert.AreEqual("Text", StaticClassWithPrivateStaticConstructor.Text);

}

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Mock a CompiledQuery with Entity Framework?

Hello!
I have troubles with getting my test case to work, possibly due to a lack of understanding of the principles to set this up correctly.

Environment: Entity Framework and .NET 4, Visual Studio 2010, MS SQL Server 2008

What I would like to do, is to test a short method "TryToGetObject", which is defined in BaseClass<T>.
The method takes an object named "importObject" of type "SomeEntityType".

The method passes this object to the compiled query and uses the property "ItemId" of it to find the matching data in the Entity Framework ObjectContext (if it exists).

For this test I wanted to mock the ObjectContext, so that I can avoid a real database access.

Here is my setup (Code is provided below):

SomeObjectContext: The Entity Framework context that provides access to the database
SomeEntityType: The type that represents the data of a table in the database

Class Baseclass<T>: Provides the pasic functionality for all derived classes.
DerivedClass<SomeEntityType>: Derives from BaseClass<T> and overrides property "CompiledQueryGetObject" to provide the specific implementation of the compiled query.
UnitTest1.TestMethod1() shows various attempty to mock the acces to the query, all of which do not work. The comments above them show the particular error message.

Can anyone please provide me some guidance what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance and best wishes,
Jens

Mocking Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom

I am trying to write a unit test for a class that internally calls the static function Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(string). I would like to Arrange that call to return a Mock Assembly.

Is this even possible?

Below are my two approaches thus far, both ended with my arrangement being bypassed and the internal function being executed:

Mock.SetupStatic<Assembly>();

Mock.Arrange(() => Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(Arg.AnyString)).Returns(Mock.Create<Assembly>());

var test = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom("Some Assembly"); //this will throw an exception instead of returning the mock Assembly

Mock.Partial<Assembly>().For<string>((s) => Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(s));

Mock.Arrange(() => Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(Arg.AnyString)).Returns(Mock.Create<Assembly>());

var test = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom("Some Assembly"); //this will throw an exception instead of returning the mock Assembly

Mocking FileInfo properties

I'm using the Trial Edition and am just getting started with JustMock. Previously I was using Moq, and am looking at your features for mocking sealed classes, etc.

I have a question about mocking FileInfo properties like LastWriteTimeUtc. I saw how you mocked FileInfo methods in the example.

Initially, I tried mocking FileSystemInfo, an abstract class, using an approach like this:

[TestMethod]

public void Can_Determine_Todays_File_By_LastWrite()

{

var mockFile = Mock.Create<FileSystemInfo>();

Mock.Arrange(() => mockFile.FullName).Returns("c:\\MSGTRK20111001-1.log");

Mock.Arrange(() => mockFile.Name).Returns("MSGTRK20111001-1.log");

Mock.Arrange(() => mockFile.LastWriteTimeUtc).Returns(DateTime.UtcNow);

var result = FileRoutines.IsTodaysFile(mockFile);

Assert.IsTrue(result);

}

My issue is that although the Name and FullName properties are set, LastWriteTimeUtc is not set, and retains its default value.

I also tried mocking FileInfo by changing the constructor to look like this, but it was not effective either. Do you have some advice?

var mockFile = Mock.Create<FileInfo>("c:\\MSGTRK20111001-1.log");

Upgraded from JustMock Q3 2010 to Q2 2011 - Mock.Create and Mock.SetupStatic throwing exceptions

Hi as the subject explains I've updated to JustMock Q2 2011 and now have exceptions thrown.

System.Reflection.Emit.ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode opcode, MethodInfo meth)
..(ILGenerator il, Type target, MethodBase methodInfo)
..(MethodBase methodBase, Boolean isFrameworkMethod, Type target)
..(Type target, MethodBase methodBase, Boolean isFrameworkMethod, Boolean force)
..(MethodBase methodBase, Boolean isMsCorlib, Boolean force)
..(Behavior behavior, Boolean static)
..()
Telerik.JustMock.Mock.Create(Type target, Behavior behavior, Object[] args)
Telerik.JustMock.Mock.Create(Type target, Object[] args)
Telerik.JustMock.Mock.Create[T]()
TPN.MessageProcessor.Tests.DeliveryMessageProcessorTemplateTest.Setup() in C:\Source\TPN\DEV\TPN.TestSuite\MessageProcessor\DeliveryMessageProcessorTemplateTest.cs: line 45

I haven't installed the MSI, just added the dll from (JustMock_2011.2.713_Dev.msi) which I expect wouldn't cause any problems, I'm using VS 2010. I couldn't find anything in the release notes related to Q2 2011, any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to JustMock but can't get a simple example working

I am trying to get a very basic test working that looks like this and keep getting a failure.

Test:

[TestMethod()]

public void FooSubmitTest()

{

Mock.SetupStatic<Foo>();

Foo.Submit();

Mock.Assert(() => Foo.Submit());

}

Submit method:

public class Foo

{

public static void Submit()

{

throw new NotImplementedException();

}

The test fails on this line:

throw new NotImplementedException();

Can you tell me why this does not pass?

AmbiguousMatchException on attempting to Mock an Interface

Hello,

I receive this excpetion when this code Mock.Create<IRepositoryStore>(); executes.

All other mocks on interfaces are working except this one. I cant find a duplicate definition of the interface anywhere.

It's only started happening recently. Any clues?

Regards,

Nick
