Private Variable Mock creates System.MissingMemberException in just mock

[Chandra]

Hi,

we have a class like this.

 

public class MssqlDbConnection : ISecuredDatabaseConnection, IDisposable
    {
        #region Fields
        private SqlConnection _connection = null;

     }

 

And I am creating Private Mock like this

             SqlConnection Sql = new SqlConnection();
            // Connected Mock
            Mock.NonPublic.Arrange<SqlConnection>(typeof(MssqlDbConnection), "_connection").Returns(Sql);

This Statement causes crash with System.MissingMemberException in just mock

 

Please let me know on this.

 

Regards,

Chandra.

Hello Chandra,

JustMock is incapable to mock fields and that is the root cause of the issue. However, there is a relatively easy workaround: use a property instead of the field, which could be successfully mocked.
