I'm trying to set up a mock DbSet for testing purposes. I used the tutorial here, http://www.loganfranken.com/blog/517/mocking-dbset-queries-in-ef6/ and slightly modified it so calling GetEnumerator returns a new enumerator each time (another problem i was having). However, I am having difficulty adding items to the DbSet.
The output is preCount = 3 postCount = 3. However, I expect it to be precount = 3 postCount = 4. Any help is greatly appreciated.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Debug.WriteLine("hello debug");
List<string> stringList = new List<string>
{
"a", "b", "c"
};
DbSet<string> myDbSet = GetQueryableMockDbSet(stringList);
int preCount = myDbSet.Count();
myDbSet.Add("d");
int postCount = myDbSet.Count();
Debug.WriteLine("preCount = " + preCount + " postCount = " + postCount);
}
private static DbSet<T> GetQueryableMockDbSet<T>(List<T> sourceList) where T : class
{
var queryable = sourceList.AsQueryable();
var dbSet = new Mock<DbSet<T>>();
dbSet.As<IQueryable<T>>().Setup(m => m.Provider).Returns(queryable.Provider);
dbSet.As<IQueryable<T>>().Setup(m => m.Expression).Returns(queryable.Expression);
dbSet.As<IQueryable<T>>().Setup(m => m.ElementType).Returns(queryable.ElementType);
dbSet.As<IQueryable<T>>().Setup(m => m.GetEnumerator()).Returns(() => queryable.GetEnumerator());
return dbSet.Object;
}
