Can TypeMock be used for CLI C++

Hi,

Isolator works with CLI C++, the best usage is though the C# API. Basically all needed to is to work with usual .NET unit tests projects as if the under test is a C# project. Is there a specific scenario you'd like to test?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. My company has typemock purchased and we have so far used it for .net C#, but now we have interop component written in CLI-C++, that access a .net C# component. We would like to write unittest coverage for it. Is there any documentation or sample Type mock based program for CLI-C++?

Thanks,

Hi,

I haven't find documentation on this but you should be able to test it as if it was a regular C# project.

Please let me know if you encounter problems while writing tests.

Hi,
I tried to do it myself in c++...But I got a compilation error in the highlighted code. Could you please check this

[TestMethod]
void TestMethod1()
{

SampleCLI::Class1 tempClass;
MockObject^ mockClass1;
mockClass1= TypeMock::MockManager^ MockObject(System::Type^(SampleCLI::Class1));
mockClass1-> ExpectAndReturn("sum", true);

};

Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : ')' C:projectsample programSample UTSample UTUnitTest1.cpp 72 1 Sample UT


Could you tell me what is the mistake I am doing?

Thanks,

Hi Andan.

We encourage working with C# for tests rather than C++ for the reason you've bumped into : bad errors messages and lack of support of unit testing frameworks. That is part of the reason we don't supply C++ CLI examples - they are very fragile and we'd like users to not fall into these kinds of traps. Rather focus on testing with easy tools. Keep the C++ production code, but do the testing in C#.

The setup we suggest is this: create a C# test project. Reference the C++ CLI dlls, and continue writing the tests in c#. You can use the regular MSTest runner, or use the Typemock Test Runner.
