LightMock.vNext

LightMock.vNext is a port of Bernhard Richter's LightMock library and mocking framework to .NET Core / CoreCLR / vNext. LightMock.vNext is compatible with xUnit.NET.

Installing

This branch is for DNX Core 5.0 only. You will need to install both LightMock and LightMock.vNext to account for both DNX 4.x and DNX Core 5.0.

PM> Install-Package LightMock

PM> Install-Package LightMock.vNext

This adds a reference to both LightMock and LightMock.vNext in the target project.

Creating a mock object

Even though the mock objects are created manually, they can be reused in many scenarios.

As an an example we will use this simple interface.

public interface IFoo
{
    void Execute(string value);
    string Execute();        
}

The mock object implementing this interface looks like this

public class FooMock : IFoo
{
    private readonly IInvocationContext<IFoo> context;
    
    public FooMock(IInvocationContext<IFoo> context)
    {
        this.context = context;
    }

    public void Execute(string value)
    {
        context.Invoke(f => f.Execute(value));
    }

    public string Execute()
    {
        return context.Invoke(f => f.Execute());
    }        
} 

Note: Only mocked methods needs to be implemented. Other methods that does not get invoked during testing can just throw a NotImplementedException.

Assertions

The Assert method is used to verify that the given method has been executed the expected number of times using the expected arguments.

//Arrange
var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);
mockContext.Arrange(f => f.Execute("SomeValue")).Returns("AnotherValue");

//Act
fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");            

//Assert
mockContext.Assert(f => f.Execute("SomeValue"));

Note: Not specifying the expected number of invocations, means at least once.

If we don't care about the actual argument value, we can use a special class called The.

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);

fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");

mockContext.Assert(f => f.Execute(The<string>.IsAnyValue), Invoked.Once);    

Arrangements

We can use arrangements to add behavior to the mock object.

For instance we can set up the mock object to return a value.

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);
mockContext.Arrange(f => f.Execute()).Returns("SomeValue");

var result = fooMock.Execute();

Assert.AreEqual("SomeValue", result); 

Throw an exception

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);
mockContext.Arrange(f => f.Execute("SomeValue")).Throws<InvalidOperationException>();
fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");

Throw an exception using a exception factory.

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);
mockContext.Arrange(f => f.Execute("SomeValue")).Throws(() => new InvalidOperationException());
fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");

Execute a callback

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);
string callBackResult = null;
mockContext.Arrange(f => f.Execute(The<string>.IsAnyValue))
	.Callback<string>(s => callBackResult = s);

fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");

Assert.AreEqual("SomeValue", callBackResult);

We call also use this class to perform custom verification.

var mockContext = new MockContext<IFoo>();
var fooMock = new FooMock(mockContext);

fooMock.Execute("SomeValue");
                    
mockContext.Assert(f => f.Execute(The<string>.Is(s => s.StartsWith("Some"))), Invoked.Once);
