如何模拟结构的多个实例？

Question

I have a struct that I want to mock. In a more complex test I need several instances of this struct, each with it's own behavior. To facilitate this, I've created a helper method.

private MyStruct CreateMock(string toString) {
    var mock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>();
    Mock.Arrange(() => mock.toString()).Returns(toString);
    return mock;
}

When I debug a test where this method is called multiple times, it appears as if the Arrange call is overwritten for ALL instances of the struct (or maybe I am using struct mocking instead of instance mocking?).

I've tried:

mock.Arrange(m => m.toString()).Returns(toString); // Using Helpers assembly, note the lowercase m at the start of the line.

But to no avail. How can I get multiple instances of a struct?

Answer 1

As described in the question, I cross posted the question and got an answer there.

It all boils down to value VS reference comparisons. I was assuming a reference comparison but a value comparison is used. When actually passing an id to the creation of the mock, it should work.

For convenience a copy of the proposed solution by Telerik.

public struct MyStruct
{
    public readonly string Id;

    public MyStruct(string id)
    {
        Id = id;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return "Never read me!";
    }
}

[TestClass]
public class MWE
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestSimpleStruct()
    {
        var simpleTest = new MyStruct("1");

        Assert.AreEqual("Never read me!", simpleTest.ToString());
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMockOfStruct()
    {
        var mock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>("1");
        Mock.Arrange(() => mock.ToString()).Returns("Read me!");

        Assert.AreEqual("Read me!", mock.ToString());
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestTwoMocksOfStruct()
    {
        var firstMock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>("1");
        Mock.Arrange(() => firstMock.ToString()).Returns("Read me!");

        var secondMock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>("2");
        Mock.Arrange(() => secondMock.ToString()).Returns("Read me too!");

        Assert.AreEqual("Read me!", firstMock.ToString()); // Fails with "Read me too!"
        Assert.AreEqual("Read me too!", secondMock.ToString());
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestTwoMocksOfStructCreatedInHelper()
    {
        var firstMock = CreateMockOfStruct("1", "Read me!");
        var secondMock = CreateMockOfStruct("2", "Read me too!");

        Assert.AreEqual("Read me!", firstMock.ToString()); // Fails with "Read me too!"
        Assert.AreEqual("Read me too!", secondMock.ToString());
    }

    private MyStruct CreateMockOfStruct(string id, string toString)
    {
        var mock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>(id);
        Mock.Arrange(() => mock.ToString()).Returns(toString);
        return mock;
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestTwoMocksOfStructCreatedInHelperWithHelper()
    {
        var firstMock = CreateMockOfStructWithHelper("1", "Read me!");
        var secondMock = CreateMockOfStructWithHelper("2", "Read me too!");

        Assert.AreEqual("Read me!", firstMock.ToString()); // Fails with "Read me too!"
        Assert.AreEqual("Read me too!", secondMock.ToString());
    }

    private MyStruct CreateMockOfStructWithHelper(string id, string toString)
    {
        var mock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>(id);
        mock.Arrange((m) => m.ToString()).Returns(toString);
        return mock;
    }
}

Answer 2

Use InSequence()

eg:

var firstMock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>();
Mock.Arrange(() => firstMock.ToString()).Returns("Read me!").InSequence();

var secondMock = Mock.Create<MyStruct>();
Mock.Arrange(() => secondMock.ToString()).Returns("Read me too!").InSequence();

You need to use Autofixture for these types of scenarios. https://github.com/AutoFixture/AutoFixture .
