Getting arguments passed to a FakeItEasy-mock with

问题:

I have been using Moq for my mocking needs the last years, but after looking at FakeItEasy i wanted to give it a try.

I often want to test that a method have been called with the correct parameters, but i found no satisfactory way to do this with FakeItEasy.

I have the following code to test:

    public class WizardStateEngine : IWizardStateEngine
{
    private readonly IWorkflowInvoker _workflowInvoker;
    private List<CustomBookmark> _history;

    public WizardStateEngine(IWorkflowInvoker workflowInvoker)
    {
        _workflowInvoker = workflowInvoker;
    }

    public void Initialize(List<CustomBookmark> history)
    {
        _history = history;
    }

    public WizardStateContext Execute(Command command, WizardStateContext stateContext, CustomBookmark step)
    {
        Activity workflow = new MyActivity();
        var input = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        input["Action"] = command;
        input["Context"] = stateContext;
        input["BookmarkHistory"] = _history;

        var output = _workflowInvoker.Invoke(workflow, input);

        _history = output["BookmarkHistory"] as List<CustomBookmark>;

        return output["Context"] as WizardStateContext;
    }

    public List<CustomBookmark> GetBookmarkHistory()
    {
        return _history;
    }
}

I want to write some tests that verifies the input to _workflowInvoker.Invoke(). My TestInitialize method sets up the needed resources and save the input dictionary to _workflowInvoker.Invoke() as a local field _wfInput.

    [TestInitialize]
    public void TestInitialize()
    {
        _wizardStateContext = new WizardStateContext();
        _workflowInvoker = A.Fake<IWorkflowInvoker>();
        _wizardStateEngine = new WizardStateEngine(_workflowInvoker);

        _outputContext = new WizardStateContext();
        _outputHistory = new List<CustomBookmark>();
        _wfOutput = new Dictionary<string, object>
                        {{"Context", _outputContext}, {"BookmarkHistory", _outputHistory}};

        _history = new List<CustomBookmark>();

        A.CallTo(() =>
                 _workflowInvoker.Invoke(A<Activity>.Ignored, A<Dictionary<string, object>>.Ignored))
            .Invokes(x => _wfInput = x.Arguments.Get<Dictionary<string, object>>("input"))
            .Returns(_wfOutput);

        _wizardStateEngine.Initialize(_history);
    }

After the setup i have multiple tests like this:

    [TestMethod]
    public void Should_invoke_with_correct_command()
    {
        _wizardStateEngine.Execute(Command.Start, null, null);

        ((Command) _wfInput["Action"]).ShouldEqual(Command.Start);
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void Should_invoke_with_correct_context()
    {
        _wizardStateEngine.Execute(Command.Start, _wizardStateContext, null);

        ((WizardStateContext) _wfInput["Context"]).ShouldEqual(_wizardStateContext);
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void Should_invoke_with_correct_history()
    {
        _wizardStateEngine.Execute(Command.Start, _wizardStateContext, null);

        ((List<CustomBookmark>) _wfInput["BookmarkHistory"]).ShouldEqual(_history);
    }

I do not like the magic string "input" in the TestInitialize for getting the passed argument (or magic number). I can write the tests without the local field like this:

    [TestMethod]
    public void Should_invoke_with_correct_context()
    {
        _wizardStateEngine.Execute(Command.Start, _wizardStateContext, null);

        A.CallTo(() =>
                 _workflowInvoker.Invoke(A<Activity>._,
                                         A<Dictionary<string, object>>.That.Matches(
                                             x => (WizardStateContext) x["Context"] == _wizardStateContext)))
            .MustHaveHappened();
    }

But i find the tests with the local field more readable.

Are there any way to setup saving of the input as a field i my test class without magic numbers or strings?

I hope the updated example in the question shows why i would like to use the local field. I am more than willing to write my tests without the local field if i can find a nice readable way to do it.

回答1:

A.CallTo(() => service.DoSomething(A<int>.That.Matches(x => x == 100)))
 .MustHaveHappened();

回答2:

I agree with everything Darin says, it seems like a bad practice to do what you're doing. You say that it looks "stupid" in this trivial example, could you provide an example where it looks smart?

Anyhow, the following test would have exactly the same behaviour as the Moq-test:

[Test]
public void Should_do_something_with_correct_input()
{
    int inputNumber = 0;

    var service = A.Fake<IService>();
    A.CallTo(() => service.DoSomething(A<int>._))
        .Invokes((int x) => inputNumber = x);

    var system = new System(service);
    system.InvokeService();

    inputNumber.ShouldEqual(100);
}
