I have the code below which I would like to test, but I'm not sure whether it is possible or not.
I have EF repositories and they are put together to a class as public properties. I don't know exactly whether it is bad solution or not, but it is easier to manage the code and its dependencies. Only the testability is still a question.
Purpose of my test is injecting data via
administrationRepository.ModuleScreen.GetAll()
method and catch the result. I know that it can be tested once it is deployed, but I want the tests in build time in order to have as fast feedback as possible.
I went through questions and answers here, but I cannot find answers. In my code I got to the point where the property is set up, but when I call the administrationRepoMock.Object.ModuleScreen.GetAll() ReSharper offers only the methods coming from Entitiy Framework and not the Moq related functions.
It is possible what I want? If so, how? Is my design suitable for this? If not can you give me articles, urls where I can see examples?
Repository:
public interface IModuleScreen
{
IEnumerable<DomainModel.Administration.ModuleScreen> GetAll();
}
public interface IAdministrationRepository
{
IModuleScreen ModuleScreen { get; }
}
public partial class AdministrationRepository : IAdministrationRepository
{
public virtual IModuleScreen ModuleScreen { get; private set; }
public AdministrationRepository( IModuleScreen moduleScreen )
{
this.ModuleScreen = moduleScreen;
}
}
Application:
public partial class DigitalLibraryApplication : IDigitalLibraryApplication
{
private IAdministrationRepository _administrationRepository;
private IMapper.IMapper.IMapper _mapper;
private IDiLibApplicationHelper _dilibApplicationHelper;
#region Ctor
public DigitalLibraryApplication( IAdministrationRepository administrationRepository, IMapper.IMapper.IMapper mapper, IDiLibApplicationHelper diLibApplicationHelper)
{
_administrationRepository = administrationRepository;
_mapper = mapper;
_dilibApplicationHelper = diLibApplicationHelper;
}
#endregion
public IEnumerable<ModuleScreenContract> GetModuleScreens()
{
//inject data here
IEnumerable<ModuleScreen> result = _administrationRepository.ModuleScreen.GetAll();
List<ModuleScreenContract> mappedResult = _mapper.MapModuleScreenToModuleScreenContracts(result);
return mappedResult;
}
}
Test code:
[Test]
public void ItCalls_ModuleRepository_Get_Method()

Here is a refactoring of your test that passes when run. You can update the pass criteria to suit you definition of a successful test.

public void ItCalls_ModuleRepository_Get_Method() {
// Arrange
List<ModuleScreen> queryResult = new List<ModuleScreen>()

.Select(m => new ModuleScreenContract { Id = m.Id })
.ToList();
var moduleScreenMock = new Mock<IModuleScreen>();
moduleScreenMock
.Setup(c => c.GetAll())
.Returns(queryResult)
.Verifiable();
var administrationRepoMock = new Mock<IAdministrationRepository>();
administrationRepoMock
.Setup(c => c.ModuleScreen)
.Returns(moduleScreenMock.Object)
.Verifiable();
var mapperMock = new Mock<IMapper>();
mapperMock.Setup(c => c.MapModuleScreenToModuleScreenContracts(queryResult))
.Returns(expectedMappedResult)
.Verifiable();
//NOTE: Not seeing this guy doing anything. What's its purpose
var dilibApplicationHerlperMock = new Mock<IDiLibApplicationHelper>();
IDigitalLibraryApplication app = new DigitalLibraryApplication(administrationRepoMock.Object, mapperMock.Object, dilibApplicationHerlperMock.Object);
//Act (Call the method under test)
var actualMappedResult = app.GetModuleScreens();
//Assert
//Verify that configured methods were actually called. If not, test will fail.
moduleScreenMock.Verify();
mapperMock.Verify();
administrationRepoMock.Verify();
//there should actually be a result.
Assert.IsNotNull(actualMappedResult);
//with items
CollectionAssert.AllItemsAreNotNull(actualMappedResult.ToList());
//There lengths should be equal
Assert.AreEqual(queryResult.Count, actualMappedResult.Count());
//And there should be a mapped object with the same id (Assumption)
var expected = queryResult.First().Id;
var actual = actualMappedResult.First().Id;
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);

I have a domain class, which looks like this:
public class Employee
{
public Guid EmployeeId { get; private set; }
public string Name { get; private set; }
public string Surname { get; private set; }
...
// other properties
public ICollection<Language> Languages { get; private set; }
= new List<Language>();
public ICollection<Skill> Skills { get; private set; }
= new List<Skill>();
public void AddLanguage(Language language)
{
if (language == null)
return;
Languages.Add(language);
}
public void DeleteLanguage(Guid languageId)
{
var languageToDelete = Languages
.SingleOrDefault(x => x.LanguageId == languageId);
if(languageToDelete == null)
throw new ArgumentException("Language entry doesn't exist.");
Languages.Remove(languageToDelete);
}
}
I would like to test given methods but I'm stuck.
I have:
[Fact]
public void AddLanguage_AfterCallWithValidObject_LanguagesCollectionContainsAddedObject()
{
var language = new Mock<Language>();
var employee = new Employee("Name", "Surname", ...);
employee.AddLanguage(language.Object);
Assert.Contains(employee.EmployeeLanguages, x => x.Language.Equals(language.Object));
}
[Fact]
public void DeleteLanguage_WhenLanguageWithGivenIdDoesntExist_ThrowArgumentException()
{
var languageToDelete = new Language("English");
var employee = new Mock<Employee>();
employee.Setup(x => x.Languages).Returns(new List<Languages>
{
new Language("Spanish"),
new Language("German")
});
employee.Object.DeleteLanguage(languageToDelete);
// Asserts here
}
In the first test I would like also assert that Languages.Add(skill) method was called but I have no idea how to do it.
Is it an elegant way to do it? I thought about mocking Add method but I'm not sure if it is a good idea.
In the second test I cannot simply mock Employee object as it is not an interface.
I thought about exposing Employee but I read I should not do that just for testing purpose.
How should I mock Languages property without exposing Employee as interface? Is it possible? Is it any good practice to do this kind of things?
Is my general concept for test these methods is okay? (I'm new in unit testing)
You should tests objects as "black box" without relying on implementation details. In your case implementation details is that Employee class uses ICollection.Add method.
And you definitely don't need to mock at all in your case.
Mock only dependencies which will make tests slow or very very very very complex to configure for the test.
[Fact]
public void AddLanguage_ShouldSaveGivenLanguage()
{
var language = new Language();
var employee = new Employee("Name", "Surname");
employee.AddLanguage(language);
var expectedLanguages = new[] { language };
employee.EmployeeLanguages.Should().BeEquivalentTo(expectedLanguages);
}
Use public API Employee class provide to setup it for the test (back box).
For testing DeleteLanguage add dummy languages through public API of the class.
[Fact]
public void DeleteLanguage_WhenLanguageExists_Remove()
{
var language1 = new Language("German");
var language2 = new Language("French");
var languageToDelete = new Language("English");
var employee = new Employee("Name", "Surname");
employee.AddLanguage(language1);
employee.AddLanguage(language2);
employee.AddLanguage(languageToDelete);
employee.DeleteLanguage(languageToDelete);
var expectedLanguages = new[] { language1, language2 };
employee.EmployeeLanguages.Should().BeEquivalentTo(expectedLanguages);
}
[Fact]
public void DeleteLanguage_WhenLanguageNotExists_ThrowException()
{
var language1 = new Language("German");
var language2 = new Language("French");
var notExistedLanguage = new Language("English");
var employee = new Employee("Name", "Surname");
employee.AddLanguage(language1);
employee.AddLanguage(language2);
Action delete = () => employee.DeleteLanguage(languageToDelete);
delete.Should()
.Throw<ArgumentException>()
.WithMessage("Language entry doesn't exist.");
}
Did you notice how cumbersome employee.EmployeeLanguages reads, you can rename property to just employee.Languages.
For readable assertions I used FluentAssertions library
For domain objects with very simple behavior and no dependencies, mocking isn't strictly needed. You can test Add simply with this:
//Arrange
var e = new Employee();
var l = new Mock<Language>();
//Act
e.AddLanguage(l.Object);
//Assert
Assert.IsTrue(e.Languages.Contains(l.Object));
Testing in this fashion you can achieve perfectly good code coverage and plenty of confidence that the Employee class works as designed.
I am trying to Test a function which I have below to get all active categories which will use a relation predicate bucket. The mocked data in the initializer class adds three objects which are both active and not deleted. It adds a fourth to the end which is deleted and not active.
During the test, the call will return all four objects, and not the expected number of three. This is where I am stuck with.
I have tried making _randomCategories as a Queryable object, but this also failed.
There is a lot of code in the first class so it may be hard to follow, so each part is broken into regions saying which part it performs, i.e. Test Setup, Mock Data, & the Tests themselves.
The Mock Data region are the expected results. May not be necessary for my needs here as it is not used in this other than to get the expected count, but it may be relevant to the overall structure of the tests.

This class generates the mock database objects. This is what is supposed to be searched through and select the correct ones from the list.
CategoryEntityInitializer.cs
public static class CategoryEntityInitializer
{
public static List<CategoryEntity> GetAllMockCategories()
{
List<CategoryEntity> _categories = new List<CategoryEntity>();
for (var i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
{
var entity = new CategoryEntity()
{
CategoryId = i,
Name = String.Format("{0}{1}", "Test", i),
IsDeleted = false,
IsActive = true
};
_categories.Add(entity);
}
var lastEntity = new CategoryEntity()
{
CategoryId = 4,
Name = String.Format("{0}{1}", "Test", 4),
IsDeleted = true,
IsActive = false

_categories.Add(lastEntity);
return _categories;
}
}
This class is where the predicate is.
CategoryService.cs
public class CategoryService : BaseService
{
public IList<CategoryModel> GetActiveCategories()
{
var bucket = new RelationPredicateBucket();
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsDeleted == false);
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsActive == true);
var categoriesEntities = _systemRepository.Category.GetAll(bucket);
return CategoryMapper.MapToModels(categoriesEntities);
}
}
The rest of the code structure works fine for every other test and across different test classes. This is the first time I have had to test the relation predicate bucket.
UPDATE 18/05/16
I found the solution to the problem. Answer in the below code.
_categoryRepositoryMock
.Setup(m => m.GetAll(It.IsAny<IRelationPredicateBucket>(), It.IsAny<IDataAccessAdapter>()))
.Returns(new Func<IRelationPredicateBucket, IDataAccessAdapter, IEnumerable<CategoryEntity>>(
(bucket, adapter) => _randomCategories.Where(a => a.IsDeleted == false && a.IsActive == true)));
Old Answer 11/05/16
I believe I have found part of the answer. In mocking the repository, I was returning all four objects, no matter if the predicate bucket would work or not.
_categoryRepositoryMock
.Setup(m => m.GetAll(It.IsAny<IRelationPredicateBucket>(), It.IsAny<IDataAccessAdapter>()))
.Returns(_randomCategories);
This will cause it to return all four as I have not implemented the bucket to filter out the matches. I thought that the .Returns would place the data into the repository as if returned from the database and then get filtered with the bucket.
What I have found out is that the call to the repository does not go to the one it would if it was running normally, but instead goes to the mocked repository and this is where you need to filter the data to be returned.
It needs to be done something similar to this.
_categoryRepositoryMock
.Setup(m => m.GetAll(It.IsAny<IRelationPredicateBucket>(), It.IsAny<IDataAccessAdapter>()))
.Returns(
(IRelationPredicateBucket bucket) => _randomCategories.Where(x => x.Name.Equals(bucket)));
Although this still give me a problem as I don't know how to get inside the bucket to match to the list, it is at least heading in the correct direction.
NOTE: I have also found from searching that another reason for this type of failure is due to the code, in this case the function being called is too complex to be tested. It should be seperated into smaller chucks to make it less complex and to test each part seperately.
Before
public class CategoryService : BaseService
{
public IList<CategoryModel> GetActiveCategories()
{
var bucket = new RelationPredicateBucket();
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsDeleted == false);
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsActive == true);
var categoriesEntities = _systemRepository.Category.GetAll(bucket);
return CategoryMapper.MapToModels(categoriesEntities);
}
}
After
public class CategoryService : BaseService
{
public IList<CategoryModel> GetActiveCategories()
{
var bucket = GetActiveCategoriesBucket();
var categoriesEntities = _systemRepository.Category.GetAll(bucket);
return CategoryMapper.MapToModels(categoriesEntities);
}
public RelationPredicateBucket GetActiveCategoriesBucket()
{
var bucket = new RelationPredicateBucket();
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsDeleted == false);
bucket.PredicateExpression.Add(CategoryFields.IsActive == true);
return bucket;
}
}
I am new to testing and have never used MSpec. I looked at tutorials and the only examples is "lite", like 1 + 1 should be 2. I need to test this real method and I don't know where to start.
public ILineItem CreateLineItem(BaseVariationContent sku, int quantityToAdd)
{
var price = sku.GetDefaultPrice();
var parent = sku.GetParentProducts().FirstOrDefault() != null ? _contentLoader.Get<ProductContent>(sku.GetParentProducts().FirstOrDefault()).Code : string.Empty;
return new LineItem
{
Code = sku.Code,
DisplayName = sku.DisplayName,
Description = sku.Description,
Quantity = quantityToAdd,
PlacedPrice = price.UnitPrice.Amount,
ListPrice = price.UnitPrice.Amount,
Created = DateAndTime.Now,
MaxQuantity = sku.MaxQuantity ?? 100,
MinQuantity = sku.MinQuantity ?? 1,
InventoryStatus = sku.TrackInventory ? (int)InventoryStatus.Enabled : (int)InventoryStatus.Disabled,
WarehouseCode = string.Empty, // TODO: Add warehouse id
ParentCatalogEntryId = parent,
};
}
BaseVariationContent is just a class with a lot of properties and that has an extension.
The MSpec github repo has a pretty nice README that explains the basic syntax components of an MSpec test class and test case.
https://github.com/machine/machine.specifications#machinespecifications
I won't fill in the details of your test, but I will show you the important parts to setup an mspec test.

Let me navigate to you with a real implementation.
Let's assume you have a service called SiteService and it returns the current siteId (you have multiple siteIds for your application).
you want to write a test case, when requesting the current site it should return the site id definition in configuration.
you will need to create a test class (standard class file), let's give a meaningful name like "SiteServiceSpec.cs"
Next, you will need to mock the ISiteConfiguration so that it can get the site id from the SiteConfiguration
public abstract class SiteServiceContext : WithFakes
{
Establish context = () =>
{
var siteConfiguration = An<ISiteConfiguration>();
siteConfiguration.WhenToldTo(x => x.Id)
.Return(CurrentSiteId);
Repository = An<IRepository<WebSite.Domain.Site.Site>>();
SUT = new SiteService(siteConfiguration, Repository);
};
protected const short CurrentSiteId = 1;
protected static SiteService SUT;
protected static IRepository<WebSite.Domain.Site.Site> Repository;
}
Now, here comes the example of the test class.
[Subject(typeof(SiteService))]
public class When_requesting_current_site : SiteServiceContext
{
It should_return_site_with_id_defined_in_configuration = () =>
Result.Id.ShouldEqual(CurrentSiteId);
Establish context = () =>
{
var site = An<WebSite.Domain.Site.Site>();
site.WhenToldTo(x => x.Id)
.Return(CurrentSiteId);
Repository.WhenToldTo(x => x.GetById(CurrentSiteId))
.Return(site);
};
Because of = () =>
Result = SUT.GetCurrentSite();
static WebSite.Domain.Site.Site Result;
}
I hope it will help you to get an idea of how it works. Besides, follow the structure provided by #anthony-mastrean
Currently we are trying to implement some unittesting on our services. In the below service an order is created and a audit registration is made about the creation of an order. When writing the two tests (because we think the tests should be seperated to get tests with 1 responsibility) this was where I started with:
public class TestPacklineOrderManagementService
{
[Fact]
public void CreateNewProductWhenNoPacklineOrderIsAvailable()
{
IPackLineOrderRepository packLineOrderRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineOrderRepository>();
packLineOrderRepository.GetActive(Arg.Any<PackLine>()).Returns(x => null);
var rawProductRepository = Substitute.For<IRawProductRepository>();
rawProductRepository.Get(1).Returns(new RawProduct {Id = 1});
var packlineRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineRepository>();
packlineRepository.Get(1).Returns(new PackLine {Id = 1});
var auditRegistrationService = Substitute.For<IAuditRegistrationService>();
var packlineOrderManagementService = new PacklineOrderManagementService(packLineOrderRepository, rawProductRepository, packlineRepository, auditRegistrationService);
packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1,1);
packLineOrderRepository.Received()
.Insert(Arg.Is<PackLineOrder>(x => x.PackLine.Id == 1 && x.Product.Id == 1));
}
[Fact]
public void AuditCreateNewProductWhenNoPacklineOrderIsAvailable()
{
IPackLineOrderRepository packLineOrderRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineOrderRepository>();
packLineOrderRepository.GetActive(Arg.Any<PackLine>()).Returns(x=>null);
var rawProductRepository = Substitute.For<IRawProductRepository>();
rawProductRepository.Get(1).Returns(new RawProduct { Id = 1 });
var packlineRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineRepository>();
packlineRepository.Get(1).Returns(new PackLine { Id = 1 });
var auditRegistrationService = Substitute.For<IAuditRegistrationService>();
var packlineOrderManagementService = new PacklineOrderManagementService(packLineOrderRepository, rawProductRepository, packlineRepository, auditRegistrationService);
packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1, 1);
auditRegistrationService.Received()
.Audit(Arg.Is<PackLineOrderAudit>(item => item.Action == PackLineOrderAction.CreatePacklineOrder));
}
}
As you can see a lot of duplicate code. To prevent this I tried to refactor this and it resulted in the code below:
public class TestPacklineOrderManagementService2

{

packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1,1);
packLineOrderRepository.Received().Insert(Arg.Any<PackLineOrder>());
}

}
private PacklineOrderManagementService BuilderForCreateNewProductWhenNoPacklineOrderIsAvailable(out IPackLineOrderRepository packLineOrderRepository,
out IAuditRegistrationService auditRegistrationService)
{
packLineOrderRepository = CreatePackLineOrderRepository(x => null);
auditRegistrationService = CreateAuditRegistrationService();
var rawProductRepository = CreateRawProductRepository(x => new RawProduct { Id = 1 });
var packlineRepository = CreatePacklineRepository(x => new PackLine { Id = 1 });
var packlineOrderManagementService = new PacklineOrderManagementService(packLineOrderRepository,
rawProductRepository, packlineRepository, auditRegistrationService);
return packlineOrderManagementService;
}
private IPackLineOrderRepository CreatePackLineOrderRepository(Func<CallInfo, PackLineOrder> getActiveResult)
{
IPackLineOrderRepository packLineOrderRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineOrderRepository>();
packLineOrderRepository.GetActive(Arg.Any<PackLine>()).Returns(getActiveResult);
return packLineOrderRepository;
}
private IRawProductRepository CreateRawProductRepository(Func<CallInfo, RawProduct> getResult)
{

{

Is there any way to get a better code base for our unittests?
Better is very subjective, it depends a lot on how you define it. Some people might argue that your first example was better since all of the setup code is together in your test. I do have some feedback based on your code above though...
When you're writing tests, don't use the same value for two parameters to your system under test (SUT) unless they really are the same, it hides transposition errors. So, in your test, you're setting up one of your substitutes like this:
rawProductRepository.Get(1).Returns(new RawProduct {Id = 1});
Then calling your SUT:
packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1,1);
Are the 1s in the SUT call related to the Repository setup? It's not at all clear which 1 is which...
This somewhat subjective, but if your test setup is exactly the same, do you really need to duplicate the test, with different asserts? Does it really make sense for the Audit to take place if the Insert hasn't etc?
If you do have groups of tests that have similar setups, then you could push the common bits into your classes constructor. You could also organise your tests using nested classes, something like this:
public class TestPacklineOrderManagementService
{
public class TestSetProduct {
IPackLineOrderRepository _packLineOrderRepository;
IRawProductRepository _rawProductRepository;
// etc
public TestSetProduct() {
_packLineOrderRepository = Substitute.For<IPackLineOrderRepository>();
_packLineOrderRepository.GetActive(Arg.Any<PackLine>()).Returns(x => null);
_rawProductRepository = Substitute.For<IRawProductRepository>();
// etc
}
[Fact]
public void CreateNewProductWhenNoPacklineOrderIsAvailable()
{
// Any test specific setup...
_packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1,1);
_packLineOrderRepository.Received()
.Insert(Arg.Is<PackLineOrder>(x => x.PackLine.Id == 1
&& x.Product.Id == 1));
}
[Fact]
public void AuditCreateNewProductWhenNoPacklineOrderIsAvailable()
{
_packlineOrderManagementService.SetProduct(1, 1);
_auditRegistrationService.Received()
.Audit(Arg.Is<PackLineOrderAudit>(item =>
item.Action == PackLineOrderAction.CreatePacklineOrder));
}
}
public class TestSomeOtherScenario {
// tests...
}
}
This approach and make your tests more succinct and easier to follow, if they only contain the test specific information, but is it better? It's very subjective, some people (including the xunit team) don't like shared per test setups. Really it's about finding the approach that works for you and your team...
Using c#, Moq, MSTest, LinqToExcel
I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to Setup() a mock for a response from a Linq query on a Linq-to-Excel IExcelQueryFactory.
I think I should expect the Linq Query to return something of type delegate, but I'm not quite sure what that should look like
Can anyone suggest what my Return() should look like in the Moq Setup() below?
Also, any toughts on my approach to testing and mocking these Lynq methods? Should I be approaching this differently?

// I think this is correctly casting to a delegate
// however ExelQuerable constructor needs arguments:
// public ExcelQueryable(IQueryProvider provider, Expression expression);
// looking into what kind of IQueryProvider and Expression I should supply.
.Returns(Action(() => new ExcelQueryable<Thing> { })); // getting closer!

You can use e.g. a method which returns your fake data.
mockExcelQueryFactory
.Setup(x => x.Worksheet<Thing>(It.IsAny<string>()))
.Returns(ExcelQueryableOfThing());
Lets say Thing class looks like this:
public class Thing
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Then in the method ExcelQueryableOfThing() you have to mock the CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression expression) method of IQueryProvider provider. Something like this:
private ExcelQueryable<Thing> ExcelQueryableOfThing()
{
var things = new List<Thing>
{
new Thing
{
Id = "1",
Name = "Adam"
},
new Thing
{
Id = "1",
Name = "Eva"
}
}
.AsQueryable();
Mock<IQueryProvider> queryProvider = new Mock<IQueryProvider>();
queryProvider
.Setup(p => p.CreateQuery<Thing>(It.IsAny<Expression>()))
.Returns(() => things);
Expression expressionFake = Expression.Constant(new List<Thing>().AsQueryable());
return new ExcelQueryable<Thing>(queryProvider.Object, expressionFake);
}
Then in the unit test thingsSheet.GetRows() will return your fake data (Adam and Eva :). HTH
[TestMethod]
public void GetRows_ReturnsListOfThings()
{
// Arrange
Mock<IExcelQueryFactory> mockExcelFile = new Mock<IExcelQueryFactory>();
var thingsSheet = new ThingsSheet(mockExcelFile.Object, "file", "worksheet");
mockExcelFile
.Setup(x => x.Worksheet<Thing>(It.IsAny<string>()))
.Returns(ExcelQueryableOfThing());
// Act
List<Thing> rows = thingsSheet.GetRows();
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual(2, rows.Count); // Adam and Eva
