Mocking Dictionary.TryGetValue

[JP]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to mock a Dictionary.TryGetValue method based on what's described in this thread to no avail.

What I've tried so far:

var dictionary = Mock.Create<Dictionary<string, HashSet<SomeClass>>>();

HashSet<SomeClass> expected = new HashSet<SomeClass>();
expected.Add(new SomeClass(param1, param2));
Mock.Arrange(() => dictionary.TryGetValue(Arg.AnyString, out expected)).Returns(true);

However, when ever I run the test, I get a null in the out object.

To give some context, not sure it impacts or not, the test spans a service running in a separate thread. The mocked dictionary is successfully inserted via a PrivateAccessor. 

Thanks in advance,

JP

Hello Juan,

I have tested the following method and it seems to work as expected:

internal class SomeClass
{
    private object param1;
    private object param2;

    public SomeClass(object param1, object param2)
    {
        this.param1 = param1;
        this.param2 = param2;
    }
}

[TestClass]
public class UnitTest1
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
        // Arrange
        var dictionary = Mock.Create<Dictionary<string, HashSet<SomeClass>>>();
        HashSet<SomeClass> expected = new HashSet<SomeClass>();
        var param1 = new object();
        var param2 = new object();
        expected.Add(new SomeClass(param1, param2));
        Mock.Arrange(() => dictionary.TryGetValue(Arg.AnyString, out expected)).Returns(true);

        // Act
        HashSet<SomeClass> actual = null;
        var result = dictionary.TryGetValue("AnyKey", out actual);

        // Assert
        Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
    }
}

Could you please describe your use case in more details, so I could be able to reproduce the issue, it is possible that I am missing something.

Hi Ivo,

Thanks for your reply.

Just to reproduce the issue, I simplified the test to exactly the same one you implemented above, and I still got a null hashset as a result.

I then simply copied your test class from above into my environment, and got the following exceptions:

Managed Debugging Assistant 'BindingFailure' occurred
Message=Managed Debugging Assistant 'BindingFailure' : 'The assembly with display name 'xunit.assert' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 3.
The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'xunit.assert' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'

 

Telerik.JustMock.Core.ElevatedMockingException occurred
  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=Cannot mock 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Collections.Generic.HashSet`1[SomeClass]]'. The profiler must be enabled to mock, arrange or execute the specified target.
  Source=Telerik.JustMock
  StackTrace:

   at Telerik.JustMock.Core.ProfilerInterceptor.GuardInternal[T](Func`1 guardedAction)
   at Telerik.JustMock.Mock.Create[T]()
   at TestMethod1() in

I enabled the profiler (as indicated by the second exception), and all worked as expected. No really sure why the first exception is coming, but it works nonetheless.

Thanks for your help!
