Advanced question: How do I mock HttpFileCollection?

:arrow: When you use MockManager.Mock you are actually telling TypeMock to wait for the next time an HttpFileCollection is created, and when it is created it will be mocked. This is handy if an HttpFileCollection is created somewhere in the tested code.

:idea: To create a mocked instance of HttpFileCollection simply use:
MockManager.MockObject()
you can then use the Object property to get the actual object.

<Test(),VerifyMocks()> Public Sub Test()
        Dim anUploadedFilesValidator As IUploadedFilesValidator
        anUploadedFilesValidator = New UploadedFilesValidator
        anUploadedFilesValidator.MaximumFiles = 10

        Dim httpFileCollectionMock As TypeMock.MockObject (Of HttpFileCollection) = TypeMock.MockManager.MockObject( Of System.Web.HttpFileCollection))

        httpFileCollectionMock.ExpectGet("Count", 9)
        Assert.That(anUploadedFilesValidator.IsValid(httpFileCollectionMock.Object), [Is].True)

 
Dim aHttpFileCollection As System.Web.HttpFileCollection
        anUploadedFilesValidator = New UploadedFilesValidator
        TypeMock.MockManager.Init()
        Dim httpFileCollectionMock As TypeMock.MockObject(Of System.Web.HttpFileCollection) = TypeMock.MockManager.MockObject(Of System.Web.HttpFileCollection)()

        'When maximum files is set to 0, then any number of files is allowed
        anUploadedFilesValidator.MaximumFiles = 0

        httpFileCollectionMock.ExpectGetAlways("Count", 9)
        aHttpFileCollection = httpFileCollectionMock.Object
        Assert.That(anUploadedFilesValidator.IsValid(aHttpFileCollection), [Is].True)

I've changed the code to above. However within IsValid, aHttpFileCollection (the mocked object)'s count property always returns 0. Should it not return 9? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi
The Count property should return 9.
First you can check it directly in the test code like this:

'...
aHttpFileCollection = httpFileCollectionMock.Object
Assert.AreEqual(9, aHttpFileCollection.Count)
'...

Second you can use TypeMock Tracer to see whats going on with the mock object and the expectation.
(I suspect that another instance of HttpFileCollection is created inside IsVAlid)

If its possible please the post here the code of IsValid method and we'll try to see what's gone wrong.

        TypeMock.MockManager.Init()
        Dim httpFileCollectionMock As TypeMock.MockObject(Of System.Web.HttpFileCollection) = TypeMock.MockManager.MockObject(Of System.Web.HttpFileCollection)()

        'When maximum files is set to 0, then any number of files is allowed
        anUploadedFilesValidator.MaximumFiles = 0

        httpFileCollectionMock.ExpectGetAlways("Count", 9)
        aHttpFileCollection = httpFileCollectionMock.Object
        Assert.AreEqual(9, aHttpFileCollection.Count)

In the above code I've done as suggested. However the assert.areequal fails, which means that the property Count is not being mocked?

Hi,

This looks very wierd. :?
I suggest taking this offline.

I'll send you an email with instructions on how to prepare the log and trace file so we can further examine the issue.
