Mocking an object passed to another thread

[Alex]

I have a class that takes a mocked object as a parameter.  When the class is invoked on the current thread, calls on the mocked object do nothing by virtue of the mock.  However if the class is run on another thread, the mocked object calls the actual methods instead of doing nothing.  Are mocked objects supported on background threads?

public class BackgroundThread
{
  private Widget _widget;
  public BackgroundThread(Widget widget)
  {
    _widget = widget;
  }

  public void Run()
  {
    Console.WriteLine("widget="+_widget);
    _widget.DoSomething();
  }
}

public class Widget
{
  public void DoSomething()
  {
    throw new Exception("Not ready to do something");
  }
}

// Test Class
[TestMethod]
public void TestBackgroundThread()
{
  var widget = Mock.Create<Widget>();
  var bt = new BackgroundThread(widget);
  var thread = new Thread(bt.Run);
  thread.Start();
  Console.WriteLine("Thread started");
  thread.Join();  // Exception is thrown but should not because object was mocked
}

I am unable to get mocking working unless using interfaces or methods marked virtual. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling justmock. Currently I am using vs 2010, resharper, ncover and just code test runner. Correct me if I am wrong but this product supports these features in both the free and commercial versions? I downloaded the trial and can't tell if I'm using the free or commercial version. I have opened a support ticket already. Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex,
Thanks again for your reply.

I would recommend you to use either TestDriven.Net / MSTest / JustCode test runner. We still don't support R# test runner officially and hoping to do that in Q3 release. 

So far things are working as expected when run in a recommended environment.  However, I made a fix to the background thread issue that you sent previously. If you require that fix then I would request you to create a support ticket with same subject and context so that I am able to send an internal build.

Kind Regards
