Parameter matching

[Software]

If I'm have a class as a parameter to a mocked method, what does JustMock use to determine whether the parameters match or not?

e.g.

public class Bi
{
    protected bool Equals(Bi other)
    {
        return I == other.I;
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return I;
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return base.Equals(obj);
    }
    public int I { get; set; }
}

public interface IR
{
    bool Get(Bi bi);
}

public class G
{
    private readonly IR _r;

    public G(IR r)
    {
        _r = r;
    }

    public bool M()
    {
        var bi = new Bi {I = 1};
        return _r.Get(bi);
    }
}

[TestFixture]
public class Test
{
    [Test]
    public void Test1()
    {
        var bi = new Bi {I = 1};
        var r = Mock.Create<IR>();

        Mock.Arrange(() => r.Get(bi)).Returns(true);
        var g = new G(r);
        var b = g.M();
        Assert.That(b, Is.True);
    }

}

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get  the BI parameter to match correctly.
I've tried Equals and a bunch of the interfaces for testing equality and none seem to get called.
Do I need to use the Arg.Matches or should this work and I'm just missing something?

Hello Eric,

In order to implement equals functionality to your class, I did the following:

public class Bi : IEquatable<Bi>
{
    public bool Equals(Bi other)
    {
        return this.I.Equals(other.I);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return I;
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return this.Equals(obj as Bi);
    }

    public int I { get; set; }
}

 
Having the above, now I am able to use matcher in my test case:

[Test]
public void Test1()
{
    var bi = new Bi { I = 1 };
    var r = Mock.Create<IR>();

    Mock.Arrange(() => r.Get(Arg.Matches<Bi>(any => any.Equals(bi)))).Returns(true);

    var g = new G(r);
    var b = g.M();

    Assert.That(b, Is.True);
}

Note that, the test is now passing.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact us further if you have any questions.

I was trying to avoid using the Arg.Matches syntax in my test.  Is there anyway to do that?

Thanks,

I also found this behaviour surprising - I expected JustMock to compare the expected and actual arguments using the Equals method, but instead it seems to be using the == operator. Using Arg.Matches works but leads to less elegant code and shouldn't be necessary IMO.

Hello,

At present JustMock uses Object.ReferenceEquals(...) for matching the mock parameters. It is a nice idea to use Object.Equals(...) for matching mock parameters as well. Before we implement it we have to consider it carefully so we don't break existing the unit tests.

I created a feature request where you can vote it.

Please vote it so we can prioritize it accordingly.
