Type mock and constructors

When i mock a type first like

MockManager.Init();
Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(TestedClass));

and the initialize the type

TestedClass testedClass=new TestedClass();

the code inside the constructor is never executed??
How can i allow that code to be executed?

Hi, This is simple use the following:

Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(TestedClass),false);

The second parameter is bool mockConstructors, by default it is true, but you can turn it off as shown above.


:idea: Tip: To mock the constructor but to run initializations of static fields you can do the following:

Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(TestedClass),false);
mock.ExpectAlways(".ctor");

I hope this helps

Tip: To mock the constructor but to run initializations of static fields you can do the following

[TestFixtureAttribute]
   public class test
   {
      [Test]
      public void MethodName()
      {
         MockManager.Init();
         Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(Class6),false);
         
         mock.ExpectAlways(".ctor");

      }
   }
   public class Class6
   {
      private int i=0;
      public Class6()
      {
         i=0;
      }

   }

No method .ctor in type MCH.Fixtures.Class6 returns void

why?

No method .ctor in type MCH.Fixtures.Class6 returns void

:oops: Woops, true,
my mistake. You cannot do that in the version that you have. I will see what can be done.

*deleted by mistake - sorry*

You can now Mock the constructor without mocking static fields using the following code:

MockManager.Init();
Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(Class6),false);
mock.Strict=true;
mock.MockConstructor();

based on the above post i expected this not to fail

public class Class3
   {
      public string test="test";
      public Class3()
      {
      }
   }

   [TestFixture]
   public class ClassName
   {
      [Test]
      public void MethodName()
      {
         MockManager.Init();
         Mock mock=MockManager.Mock(typeof(Class3),false);
            mock.MockConstructor();
            Class3 class3=new Class3();
         Assert.IsNotNull(class3.test);
      }
   }

is it possible to mock the constructor but allow the test field to be initialized?

thnks

Hi,
The above code will fail as what is really happening behind the scenes is that the public string test="test" is actually initialized in the constructor so the code is equvalent to:

public class Class3
{
      public string test;
      public Class3()
      {
          test="test";
      }
} 

You have mocked the constructor so test will not be initialized.
:!: Just to make things clear, the example code we showed is to enable static fields to be initialized.

Hi,
Mocking Constructors is much simpler in version 2.2 please see Mocking Constructors topic in the User Guide
