How can I do this in Moq?
Foo bar = new Foo();
Fake(bar.PrivateGetter).Return('whatever value')
It seems I can only find how to mock an object that was created via the framework. I want to mock just a single method/property on a concrete object I've created.
In TypeMock, I would just do Isolate.WhenCalled(bar.PrivateGetter).Returns('whatever value')
.
Any ideas?
Only TypeMock Isolator (and perhaps Moles) can perform these stunts. Normal dynamic mock libraries can only mock virtual and abstract members.
You should use Moq to create your Mock object and set CallBase property to true to use the object behavior.
From the Moq documentation:
CallBase is defined as “Invoke base class implementation if no expectation overrides the member. This is called “Partial Mock”. It allows to mock certain part of a class without having to mock everything.
Sample code:
[Test]
public void FailintgTest()
{
var mock = new Moq.Mock<MyClass>();
mock.Setup(m => m.Number).Returns(4);
var testObject = mock.Object;
Assert.That(testObject.Number, Is.EqualTo(4));
Assert.That(testObject.Name, Is.EqualTo("MyClass"));
}
[Test]
public void OKTest()
{
var mock = new Moq.Mock<MyClass>();
mock.Setup(m => m.Number).Returns(4);
mock.CallBase = true;
var testObject = mock.Object;
Assert.That(testObject.Number, Is.EqualTo(4));
Assert.That(testObject.Name, Is.EqualTo("MyClass"));
}
public class MyClass
{
public virtual string Name { get { return "MyClass"; } }
public virtual int Number { get { return 2; } }
}
Moles can also replace private methods as long as the types on the signature are visible. So in this case, it would look like this:
MFoo bar = new MFoo { // instantiate the mole of 'Foo'
PrivateGetterGet = () => "whatever value" // replace PrivateGetter {get;}
};
Foo realBar = bar; // retrive the runtime instance
...
