Sequential mocking (ReturnsMany) does not work

[Stanislav]

For some reason, the ReturnsMany method does not work for me. I have the follwing code:

List<ORGANIZATION> existingOrganizations = new List<ORGANIZATION>()
            {
                new ORGANIZATION() {ID = 1, NAME = "Organization1", ISINCLUDEDINSAMPLE = false},
                new ORGANIZATION() {ID = 2, NAME = "Organization2", ISINCLUDEDINSAMPLE = false},
                new ORGANIZATION() {ID = 3, NAME = "Organization3", ISINCLUDEDINSAMPLE = false},
            };

 

container.Arrange<IOrganizationRepository>(or => or.GetById(Arg.AnyLong)).ReturnsMany(existingOrganizations);

 

And the exception I'm getting:

System.InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Cpims.WFM.Domain.Organizations.ORGANIZATION]' to type 'Cpims.WFM.Domain.Organizations.ORGANIZATION'.
   at Castle.Proxies.IOrganizationRepositoryProxy.GetById(Int64 primaryKey, Expression`1[] includeNavigationProperties)

Forgot to mention the version of JustMock:

2014.2.811.1

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Looking at your test I assume that GetById should return an IEnumerable or some collection type as you arrange it to return many.

I created a sample project and it is working on my side. On the other hand I am not really sure whether GetById should return an object of type Organization. If that is the case you should arrange GetById to return object, not a collection.

I guess we are missing the big picture here. Could you please send us a complete sample project that we can work with?

Hi

Your assumptions are wrong. The GetById method is supposed to return a single Organization entity. And I want this entity to come from my existingOrganizations list. This is why I'm arranging it with ReturnsMany() and not with Returns().

Taken form JustMock documentation:

"The ReturnsMany method will arrange certain function/property to sequentially return the members of a predefined array (returnValues)."

 

So my expectation is that every time I hit GetById() in my test, I will get a different entity from the list. But this is not happening, because the whole list gets returned instead.

Hello,

I am really sorry for the misunderstanding. 

I managed to reproduce the issue. existingOrganizations should be an array as you are using the params overload of ReturnsMany.
