AutoFixture: mock methods don't return a frozen instance - moq

I'm trying to write this simple test:
var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());
var postProcessingAction = fixture.Freeze<Mock<IPostProcessingAction>>();
var postProcessor = fixture.Freeze<PostProcessor>();
postProcessor.Process("", "");
postProcessingAction.Verify(action => action.Do());
The Verify check fails.
The code for postProcessor.Process is
public void Process(string resultFilePath, string jobId)
{
IPostProcessingAction postProcessingAction =
postProcessingActionReader
.CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml(resultFilePath);
postProcessingAction.Do();
}
postProcessingActionReader is an interface field initialized through the constructor.
I'm expecting the test to pass but it fails, it turns out the instance of IPostProessingAction returned from the CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml method is not the same instance as returned from fixture.Freeze<>.
My expectation was that after freezing this Mock object it would inject the underlying mock of the IPostProcessingAction interface in every place its required as well as make all mock methods returning IPostProcessingAction return this same object.
Is my expectation about the return value of the mock methods incorrect?
Is there a way to change this behavior so that mock methods return the same frozen instance?

You need to Freeze the IPostProcessingActionReader component.
The following test will pass:
[Fact]
public void Test()
{
var fixture = new Fixture()
.Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());
var postProcessingActionMock = new Mock<IPostProcessingAction>();
var postProcessingActionReaderMock = fixture
.Freeze<Mock<IPostProcessingActionReader>>();
postProcessingActionReaderMock
.Setup(x => x.CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml(
It.IsAny<string>()))
.Returns(postProcessingActionMock.Object);
var postProcessor = fixture.CreateAnonymous<PostProcessor>();
postProcessor.Process("", "");
postProcessingActionMock.Verify(action => action.Do());
}
Assuming that the types are defined as:
public interface IPostProcessingAction
{
void Do();
}
public class PostProcessor
{
private readonly IPostProcessingActionReader actionReader;
public PostProcessor(IPostProcessingActionReader actionReader)
{
if (actionReader == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("actionReader");
this.actionReader = actionReader;
}
public void Process(string resultFilePath, string jobId)
{
IPostProcessingAction postProcessingAction = this.actionReader
.CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml(resultFilePath);
postProcessingAction.Do();
}
}
public interface IPostProcessingActionReader
{
IPostProcessingAction CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml(
string resultFilePath);
}
In case you use AutoFixture declaratively with the xUnit.net extension the test could be simplified even further:
[Theory, AutoMoqData]
public void Test(
[Frozen]Mock<IPostProcessingActionReader> readerMock,
Mock<IPostProcessingAction> postProcessingActionMock,
PostProcessor postProcessor)
{
readerMock
.Setup(x => x.CreatePostProcessingActionFromJobResultXml(
It.IsAny<string>()))
.Returns(postProcessingActionMock.Object);
postProcessor.Process("", "");
postProcessingActionMock.Verify(action => action.Do());
}
The AutoMoqDataAttribute is defined as:
internal class AutoMoqDataAttribute : AutoDataAttribute
{
internal AutoMoqDataAttribute()
: base(new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization()))
{
}
}

As of 3.20.0, you can use AutoConfiguredMoqCustomization. This will automatically configure all mocks so that their members' return values are generated by AutoFixture.
In other words, it will auto-configure your postProcessingActionReader to return the frozen postProcessingAction.
Just change this:
var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());
to this:
var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoConfiguredMoqCustomization());

Net Framework Xunit With Moq Unit Testing Keep Calling The Original Function

I have a problem with mocking cause it keep calling the original function. This is my demo code
First file is interface that contains the function that I want to mock.
public interface IDemoReplace
{
int FunctionToBeReplaced();
}
Second file is a class that actually has the implementation for the function
public class DemoReplace : IDemoReplace
{
public int FunctionToBeReplaced()
{
//this function contains sql query in my real project
return 1;
}
}
Third file is a class that I want to test
public class ClassToBeTested
{
public int TestThisFunction()
{
IDemoReplace replace = new DemoReplace();
var temp = replace.FunctionToBeReplaced();
return temp;
}
}
Last file is the test class
public class TestClass
{
[Fact]
public void TryTest()
{
using (var mock = AutoMock.GetLoose()) {
//Arrange
mock.Mock<IDemoReplace>()
.Setup(x => x.FunctionToBeReplaced())
.Returns(returnTwo());
var classToBeTested = mock.Create<ClassToBeTested>();
var expected = 2;
//Act
var actual = classToBeTested.TestThisFunction();
//Assert
Assert.Equal(expected, actual);
}
}
public int returnTwo() {
return 2;
}
}
This test will be failed with expected is 2 and actual is 1. When I tried to debug it doesn't call returnTwo but call the original function instead.
I am new to unit testing so what did I miss? Please be considered that the code above is only a demo of what is happened in my actual project. FunctionToBeReplaced is actually a function that execute and return record from database so I want to mock that function.
Thanks :)
This is a design issue. The subject under test is tight coupled to implementation concerns that make it difficult to isolation the subject so that it can be unit tested.
It (subject) is manually creating its dependency
IDemoReplace replace = new DemoReplace();
Ideally you want to explicitly inject dependencies. Those dependencies should also be abstractions and not concretions.
public class ClassToBeTested {
private readonly IDemoReplace dependency;
public ClassToBeTested(IDemoReplace dependency) {
this.dependency = dependency;
}
public int TestThisFunction() { ;
var temp = dependency.FunctionToBeReplaced();
return temp;
}
}
At run time, the implementation (or mock) can be injected, either purely, or via a container.
The test in the original example shown should now behave as expected.
public class TestClass {
[Fact]
public void TryTest() {
using (var mock = AutoMock.GetLoose()) {
//Arrange
var expected = returnTwo();
mock.Mock<IDemoReplace>()
.Setup(x => x.FunctionToBeReplaced())
.Returns(expected);
var classToBeTested = mock.Create<ClassToBeTested>();
//Act
var actual = classToBeTested.TestThisFunction();
//Assert
Assert.Equal(expected, actual);
}
}
public int returnTwo() {
return 2;
}
}

How to test a class with delegate in constructor using Moq

Can someone explain to me how to create an instance of this component in a Moq TestMethod? Here is the definition of the class. I need to test the ProcessAutomaticFillRequest method.
public class AutomaticDispenserComponent : IAutomaticDispenserComponent
{
private readonly Lazy<IMessageQueueComponent> _messageQueueComponent;
protected IMessageQueueComponent MessageQueueComponent { get { return _messageQueueComponent.Value; } }
public AutomaticDispenserComponent(Func<IMessageQueueComponent> messageQueueComponentFactory)
{
_messageQueueComponent = new Lazy<IMessageQueueComponent>(messageQueueComponentFactory);
}
public void ProcessAutomaticFillRequest(FillRequestParamDataContract fillRequestParam)
{
if (fillRequestParam.PrescriptionServiceUniqueId == Guid.Empty)
throw new InvalidOperationException("No prescription service was specified for processing fill request.");
if (fillRequestParam.Dispenser == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException("No dispenser was specified for processing fill request.");
var userContext = GlobalContext.CurrentUserContext;
var channel = string.Format(Channel.FillRequest, userContext.TenantId,
userContext.PharmacyUid, fillRequestParam.Dispenser.DeviceAgentUniqueId);
NotificationServer.Publish(channel, fillRequestParam);
}
Here is how I started my test, but I don't know how to create an instance of the component:
[TestMethod]
[ExpectedException(typeof (InvalidOperationException))]
public void FillRequestFailsWhenPrescriptionServiceUniqueIdIsEmpty()
{
// How do I create an instance of automatiqueDispenserComponent here
// since there is Func as constructor parameter?
var fillRequestParam = new FillRequestParamDataContract
{
PrescriptionServiceUniqueId = Guid.Empty
};
_automaticDispensercomponent.ProcessAutomaticFillRequest(fillRequestParam);
// ...
}
Updated the answer based on the comments below. You need to mock the Func parameter for the test.
[TestMethod]
[ExpectedException(typeof(InvalidOperationException))]
public void FillRequestFailsWhenPrescriptionServiceUniqueIdIsEmpty()
{
var mockMsgQueueComponent = new Mock<Func<IMessageQueueComponent>>();
var _automaticDispensercomponent = new AutomaticDispenserComponent
(mockMsgQueueComponent.Object);
var fillRequestParam = new FillRequestParamDataContract
{
PrescriptionServiceUniqueId = Guid.Empty
};
_automaticDispensercomponent.ProcessAutomaticFillRequest(fillRequestParam);
}

Using one session per request, how to handle updating child objects

I'm having some serious issues with Fluent Nhibernate in my ASP.NET WebForms app when trying to modify a child object and then saving the parent object.
My solution is currently made of 2 projects :
Core : A class library where all entities & repositories classes are located
Website : The ASP.NET 4.5 WebForms application
Here is my simple mapping for my Employee object:
public class EmployeeMap : ClassMap<Employee>
{
public EmployeeMap()
{
Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity();
Map(x => x.DateCreated);
Map(x => x.Username);
Map(x => x.FirstName);
Map(x => x.LastName);
HasMany(x => x.TimeEntries).Inverse().Cascade.All().KeyColumn("Employee_id");
}
}
Here is my my mapping for the TimeEntry object:
public class TimeEntryMap : ClassMap<TimeEntry>
{
public TimeEntryMap()
{
Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity();
Map(x => x.DateCreated);
Map(x => x.Date);
Map(x => x.Length);
References(x => x.Employee).Column("Employee_id").Not.Nullable();
}
}
As stated in the title, i'm using one session per request in my web app, using this code in Gobal.asax:
public static ISessionFactory SessionFactory = Core.SessionFactoryManager.CreateSessionFactory();
public static ISession CurrentSession
{
get { return (ISession)HttpContext.Current.Items["current.session"]; }
set { HttpContext.Current.Items["current.session"] = value; }
}
protected Global()
{
BeginRequest += delegate
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("New Session");
CurrentSession = SessionFactory.OpenSession();
};
EndRequest += delegate
{
if (CurrentSession != null)
CurrentSession.Dispose();
};
}
Also, here is my SessionFactoryManager class:
public class SessionFactoryManager
{
public static ISession CurrentSession;
public static ISessionFactory CreateSessionFactory()
{
return Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008.ConnectionString(c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("Website.Properties.Settings.WebSiteConnString")))
.Mappings(m => m
.FluentMappings.AddFromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()))
.ExposeConfiguration(cfg => new SchemaUpdate(cfg).Execute(false, true))
.BuildSessionFactory();
}
public static ISession GetSession()
{
return (ISession)HttpContext.Current.Items["current.session"];
}
}
Here is one of my repository class, the one i use to handle the Employee's object data operations:
public class EmployeeRepository<T> : IRepository<T> where T : Employee
{
private readonly ISession _session;
public EmployeeRepository(ISession session)
{
_session = session;
}
public T GetById(int id)
{
T result = null;
using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
result = _session.Get<T>(id);
tx.Commit();
}
return result;
}
public IList<T> GetAll()
{
IList<T> result = null;
using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
result = _session.Query<T>().ToList();
tx.Commit();
}
return result;
}
public bool Save(T item)
{
var result = false;
using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
_session.SaveOrUpdate(item);
tx.Commit();
result = true;
}
return result;
}
public bool Delete(T item)
{
var result = false;
using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
_session.Delete(_session.Load(typeof (T), item.Id));
tx.Commit();
result = true;
}
return result;
}
public int Count()
{
var result = 0;
using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
result = _session.Query<T>().Count();
tx.Commit();
}
return result;
}
}
Now, here is my problem. When i'm trying to insert Employee(s), everything is fine. Updating is also perfect... well, as long as i'm not updating one of the TimeEntry object referenced in the "TimeEntries" property of Employee...
Here is where an exception is raised (in a ASPX file of the web project):
var emp = new Employee(1);
foreach (var timeEntry in emp.TimeEntries)
{
timeEntry.Length += 1;
}
emp.Save();
Here is the exception that is raised:
[NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier
value was already associated with the session: 1, of entity:
Core.Entities.Employee]
Basically, whenever I try to
Load an employee and
Modify one of the saved TimeEntry, I get that exception.
FYI, I tried replacing the SaveOrUpdate() in the repository for Merge(). It did an excellent job, but when creating an object using Merge(), my object never gets it's Id set.
I also tried creating and flushing the ISession in each function of my repository. It made no sense because as soon as i was trying to load the TimeEntries property of an Employee, an exception was raised, saying the object could not be lazy-loaded as the ISession was closed...
I'm at lost and would appreciate some help. Any suggestion for my repository is also welcome, as i'm quite new to this.
Thanks you guys!
This code
var emp = new Employee(1);
foreach (var timeEntry in emp.TimeEntries)
{
timeEntry.Length += 1;
}
emp.Save();
is creating a new Employee object, presumable with an ID of 1 passed through the constructor. You should be loading the Employee from the database, and your Employee object should not allow the ID to be set since you are using an identity column. Also, a new Employee would not have any TimeEntries and the error message clearly points to an Employee instance as the problem.
I'm not a fan of transactions inside repositories and I'm really not a fan of generic repositories. Why is your EmployeeRepository a generic? Shouldn't it be
public class EmployeeRepository : IRepository<Employee>
I think your code should look something like:
var repository = new EmployeeRepository(session);
var emp = repository.GetById(1);
foreach (var timeEntry in emp.TimeEntries)
{
timeEntry.Length += 1;
}
repository.Save(emp);
Personally I prefer to work directly with the ISession:
using (var txn = _session.BeginTransaction())
{
var emp = _session.Get<Employee>(1);
foreach (var timeEntry in emp.TimeEntries)
{
timeEntry.Length += 1;
}
txn.Commit();
}
This StackOverflow Answer gives an excellent description of using merge.
But...
I believe that you are facing issues with setting up a correct session pattern for your application.
I you suggest to take a look at session-per-request pattern
where in you create a single NHibernate session object per request. the session is opened when the request is received and closed/flushed on generating a response.
Also make sure that instead of using SessionFactory.OpenSession() to get a session try using SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession() which puts the onus on NHibernate to return you the current correct session.
I hope this pushes you in the right direction.

ASP.Net - MVC and Moq

I'm starting to build up Unit Tests for a project we have. We've decided upon Moq to assist with the 'Mocking' of the repositorys as we dont want to run the tests against the live DB.
I'm obviously using Moq incorrectly, How would one write the GetMessage Test? The first 2 seem to work fine.
The return value of the GetMessage Test is allways null so the test fails
private Mock<IMessageRepository> _mockRepository;
private IMessageBoardService _service;
[TestInitialize]
public void Initialize()
{
_mockRepository = new Mock<IMessageRepository>();
_service = new MessageBoardService(_mockRepository.Object);
}
[TestMethod]
public void CreateMessage()
{
var result = _service.CreateMessage("Test", "Description", 8000, 0);
Assert.IsNotNull(result);
}
[TestMethod]
public void CreateComment()
{
var Message = _service.CreateMessage("Test", "Description", 8000, 0);
var Result = _service.CreateComment("Test Comment", Message.MessageID, 0);
Assert.IsNotNull(Result);
}
[TestMethod]
public void GetMessage()
{
var Message = _service.CreateMessage("Test", "Description", 8000, 0);
_service.AddMessage(Message);
_service.Save();
var RetMessage = _service.GetMessage(Message.MessageID); //Always returns Null
Assert.IsNotNull(RetMessage);
}
EDIT= == ===============================
What about the following?
[TestMethod]
public void GetMessage()
{
var tmpMessage = _service.CreateMessage("Test", "Description", 5, 0);
_mockRepository.Setup(r => r.GetMessage(It.IsAny<int>()))
.Returns(tmpMessage);
var RetMessage = _service.GetMessage(tmpMessage.MessageID);
Assert.IsNotNull(RetMessage);
}
You need to set an expectation for you mock. Something like:
[TestInitialize]
public void Initialize()
{
_mockRepository = new Mock<IMessageRepository>();
_mockRepository.Setup(r=> r.GetMessage())
.Returns(8000); // I assume 8000 is message Id in test
_service = new MessageBoardService(_mockRepository.Object);
}
I have assumed that your repository has a GetMessage that the Service uses. It is the method that the service uses that needs to be mocked.
This will be done for all uses of this mock. For that reason I would set it up in the individual test rather than initialize. I just wanted to highlight you need an expectation.
Kindness,
Dan
It might be better to setup the Stub so that you verify that the correct message ID is being passed to the repository's method:
[TestMethod]
public void GetMessage()
{
var tmpMessage = _service.CreateMessage("Test", "Description", 5, 0);
_mockRepository.Setup(r => r.GetMessage(tmpMessage.MessageID))
.Returns(tmpMessage);
var RetMessage = _service.GetMessage(tmpMessage.MessageID);
Assert.AreEqual(tmpMessage, RetMessage);
}
Notice that I have also modified the assertion so that it verifies what you are likely to care about: that the returned value is correct (and not just whether it's null or not).

Can I get a series of good results and a thrown exception from Moq

I am mocking a wrapper to an MSMQ. The wrapper simply allows an object instance to be created that directly calls static methods of the MessageQueue class.
I want to test reading the queue to exhaustion. To do this I would like the mocked wrapper to return some good results and throw an exception on the fourth call to the same method. The method accepts no parameters and returns a standard message object.
Can I set up this series of expectations on the method in Moq?
Yup, this is possible if you don't mind jumping through a few minor hoops. I've done this for one of my projects before. Alright here is the basic technique. I just tested it out in Visual Studio 2008, and this works:
var mockMessage1 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var mockMessage2 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var mockMessage3 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var messageQueue = new Queue<IMessage>(new [] { mockMessage1.Object, mockMessage2.Object, mockMessage3.Object });
var mockMsmqWrapper = new Mock<IMsmqWrapper>();
mockMsmqWrapper.Setup(x => x.GetMessage()).Returns(() => messageQueue.Dequeue()).Callback(() =>
{
if (messageQueue.Count == 0)
mockMsmqWrapper.Setup(x => x.GetMessage()).Throws<MyCustomException>();
});
A few notes:
You don't have to return mocked messages, but it's useful if you want to verify expectations on each message as well to see if certain methods were called or properties were set.
The queue idea is not my own, just a tip I got from a blog post.
The reason why I am throwing an exception of MyCustomException is because the Queue class automatically throws a InvalidOperationException. I wanted to make sure that the mocked MsmqWrapper object throws an exception because of Moq and not because of the queue running out of items.
Here's the complete code that works. Keep in mind that this code is ugly in some places, but I just wanted to show you how this could be tested:
public interface IMsmqWrapper
{
IMessage GetMessage();
}
public class MsmqWrapper : IMsmqWrapper
{
public IMessage GetMessage()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
public class Processor
{
private IMsmqWrapper _wrapper;
public int MessagesProcessed { get; set; }
public bool ExceptionThrown { get; set; }
public Processor(IMsmqWrapper msmqWrapper)
{
_wrapper = msmqWrapper;
}
public virtual void ProcessMessages()
{
_wrapper.GetMessage();
MessagesProcessed++;
_wrapper.GetMessage();
MessagesProcessed++;
_wrapper.GetMessage();
MessagesProcessed++;
try
{
_wrapper.GetMessage();
}
catch (MyCustomException)
{
ExceptionThrown = true;
}
}
}
[Test]
public void TestMessageQueueGetsExhausted()
{
var mockMessage1 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var mockMessage2 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var mockMessage3 = new Mock<IMessage>();
var messageQueue = new Queue<IMessage>(new [] { mockMessage1.Object, mockMessage2.Object, mockMessage3.Object });
var mockMsmqWrapper = new Mock<IMsmqWrapper>();
mockMsmqWrapper.Setup(x => x.GetMessage()).Returns(() => messageQueue.Dequeue()).Callback(() =>
{
if (messageQueue.Count == 0)
mockMsmqWrapper.Setup(x => x.GetMessage()).Throws<InvalidProgramException>();
});
var processor = new Processor(mockMsmqWrapper.Object);
processor.ProcessMessages();
Assert.That(processor.MessagesProcessed, Is.EqualTo(3));
Assert.That(processor.ExceptionThrown, Is.EqualTo(true));
}
