Mocking base class properties

0 votes
Hello,

This might be a basic question as I don't have a lot of experience with the Isolator.
The following code is part of a unit test i was trying to run: 

MockObject targetMock = MockManager.MockObject(typeof(Class_A_Accessor));
targetMock.ExpectGet("BaseProperty1", m_propertyValue);


I have to mock the accessor and not the class because I need to access a protected proerty. the problem is that when I try to call ExpectGet I get an exception because BasePrperty1 doesn't exists in the class but in the base-class. How can I call this property while using the accessor or maybe there's another solution?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

First I would like to welcome you, I hope you will find the Isolator product useful.

In general, the Isolator has no problem mocking private/internal methods,
you can mock them the same way you mock public ones.
here's an example for what (i think) you are trying to do:

First the tested classes 
public class BaseClass
{
    private string _MyProp;

    protected string MyProp
    {
        get { return _MyProp; }
        set { _MyProp = value; }
    }
}

public class UnderTest : BaseClass
{
    public string GetName()
    {
        return MyProp;
    }
}


and now here is the test method: 
[TestMethod]
public void BaseClassPropertyMock()
{
    MockObject<UnderTest> mock = MockManager.MockObject<UnderTest>();
    mock.ExpectGet("MyProp", "John");

    UnderTest target = mock.Object as UnderTest;
    Assert.AreEqual("John", target.GetName());
}

Typemock Isolator also supports mocking accessors with NaturalMocks 

Class_A_Accessor target = RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject<Class_A_Accessor>();
using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
{
   recorder.ExpectAndReturn(Class_A_Accessor.BaseProperty1,m_propertyValue);
}

This way you get goodies like code completion and refactoring
