Consider the following, where I am testing that an injected dependency's method is called a specific number of times:
[Fact]
public void WhenBossTalksEmployeeBlinksTwice()
{
// arrange
var employee = new Mock<IEmployee>();
employee.Setup(e => e.Blink());
var boss = new Boss(employee.Object);
// act
boss.Talk();
// assert
employee.Verify(e => e.Blink(), Times.Exactly(2)); // Passes as expected
employee.Verify(e => e.Blink(), Times.Exactly(1)); // Fails as expected
}
When I force the failing test, the output is:
Moq.MockException: Invocation was not performed on the mock 1 times: e => e.Blink()
What would be better is something like:
Moq.MockException: Invocation was unexpectedly performed 2 times, not 1 time: e => e.Blink()
Here are the items involved with the test:
public interface IEmployee { void Blink(); }
public class Boss {
private readonly IEmployee _employee;
public Boss(IEmployee employee) { _employee = employee; }
public void Talk() {
_employee.Blink();
_employee.Blink();
}
}
Is it possible to harvest and display the actual number of times the dependency's method was called, in the failing test's error message?
I'm not sure that it matters, but I'm using Moq v3.1.416.3 (not the latest, I know, but another library I'm using hasn't updated to Moq 4.x yet…)
