SharePoint SPList.GetItemById

0 votes
My test fixture includes this utility method to create a populated SPList: 

private SPList MakeList()
        {
            SPList fakeList = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPList>(Members.CallOriginal);
            for (int i = 1; i <= 6; i++)
            {
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.Items[i]).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
            }
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(1)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(1, "This is task number 1"));
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(2)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(2, "This is task number 2"));
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(3)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(3, "This is task number 3"));
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(4)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(4, "This is task number 4"));
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(5)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(5, "This is task number 5"));
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(6)).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(6, "This is task number 6"));
            
            return fakeList;
        }


I have two tests: 

[Test]
        public void FakeList_Items_3()
        {
            SPWeb spWeb = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPWeb>(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes);
            SPList spList = MakeList();
            SPListItem thisItem = spList.Items[3];
            Assert.That(thisItem.Title, Is.EqualTo("This is task number 3"));
        }

        [Test]
        public void FakeList_GetItemByID_3()
        {
            SPWeb spWeb = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPWeb>(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes);
            SPList spList = MakeList();
            SPListItem thisItem = spList.GetItemById(3);
            Console.WriteLine(thisItem.Title);
            Assert.That(thisItem.Title, Is.EqualTo("This is task number 3"));
        }
       


The FakeList_Items_3 succeeds, but the FakeList_GetItemByID_3 fails. The thisItem object is always the first one, not the third. IOW, thisItem.Title is "This is task number 1", even though I asked for number 3.

How can I mock the GetItemById method? I use it all over the place in my actual code.

Hi,

WhenCalled default behavior is to ignore the arguments and return the requested value. This is useful for the common usage where we want a method to always return a faked value without regarding the arguments.

In order to set the behavior for each argument, you can use WithExactArguments completing statement.

For example: 
Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(1))
            .WithExactArguments()
            .WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(1, "This is task number 1"));

Perfect! Here's my revised code. 
        private SPList MakeFakeList(int itemCount)
        {
            SPList fakeList = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPList>();
            for (int i = 1; i <= itemCount; i++)
            {
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.Items[i]).WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(i)).WithExactArguments().WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
            }
            return fakeList;


Interesting, though. When I try this: 
        private SPList MakeFakeList(int itemCount)
        {
            SPList fakeList = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPList>();
            for (int i = 1; i <= itemCount; i++)
            {
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.Items[i]).WithExactArguments().WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(i)).WithExactArguments().WillReturn(MakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
            }
            return fakeList;
        }


... I get a run-time error on the first .WhenCalled: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Looks like it is trying to obtain an actual Item[i] before it defines the .WillReturn. It's a bit confusing -- but I'm a newb.

Hi,

It seems like a bug. I'll try to reproduce it here.

Can you please also post the stack trace of the exception and let me know what version of Isoaltor and version of .NET are you using?

Thanks,

Here's my utility method: 
       private SPList MakeFakeList(int itemCount)
        {
            SPList fakeList = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPList>();
            for (int i = 1; i <= itemCount; i++)
            {
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.Items[i])
                    .WithExactArguments()
                    .WillReturn(MakeFakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
                Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeList.GetItemById(i))
                    .WithExactArguments()
                    .WillReturn(MakeFakeTaskItem(i, "This is task number " + i.ToString()));
            }
            return fakeList;
        }

Here's the test: 
        [Test]
        public void FakeList_GetItemByID_8()
        {
            SPList spList = MakeFakeList(10);
            SPListItem thisItem = spList.GetItemById(8);
            Assert.That(thisItem.Title, Is.EqualTo("This is task number 8"));
        }

And here's the nUnit error: 
LSMSTests.Tests.FakeList_GetItemByID_8:
System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
