hi the following throws an exception

Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods<HttpContext>(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes);

            Assert.IsNotNull(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);

Hi Tolisss,

I ran the code below and got a different result - the Assert.IsNotNull statement failed.

That result makes sense to me - recursive fakes are defined to return a fake object for any call returning a reference type, and the default value of any call returning a value type. The AbsoluteUri property returns a string which is a value type, and default(string) is null, therefor the entire expression evaluates to null.

Can you confirm this is the behavior you are seeing on your end? Does this happen if you assert the expression to be null? I could not recreate the expression you get, but that may be due to test framework differences.

Thanks,
Doron

Hi

yes that is the case but that behaviour brakes isolation and ReturnRecursiveFakes .

i would expect to write no more code than Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods<HttpContext>(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes); and isolate all static calls to httpContext

Hi Tolisss,

* If the value type is not part of MSCorLib you will recieve a fake back from the property call.

* Because most of the value types in .NET cannot be NULL and so the result of default(T) would return a real object (if it is part of MSCorLib).

* string is a special case - because it is part of MSCorLib currently we cannot fake it. in any other the result would be a Fake<T> as you might have expected.

The following code would work like you expected it:
struct StructUnderTest
{
    public int IntValue { get; set; }
}

class ClassWitStructMember
{
    public StructUnderTest StructValue { get; set; }
}

[TestMethod]
public void RecursiveFakesAndValueType()
{
    var classUnderTest = Isolate.Fake.Instance<ClassWitStructMember>(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes);
    
    Assert.IsNotNull(classUnderTest.StructValue.IntValue);
}


Isolator development team would look into adding special behavior to string but right now it would return its default value which is NULL.
