How to check property of function argument in NMock

Question

Hi,

Say if i had the following interface mocked in (NMock). How could i check that email.Subject = 'xyz' ?

Currently im doing something like

IEmailService s = mocks.NewMock<IEmailService>();
Expect.Once.On(s).Method("Send").With(?????)

s.Send(new Email { Subject = 'rarr' });

mocks.Verify...();

interface EmailService { void SendEmail(Email email); }

Answer 1

Do you want to check Subject inside With? That's weird to me as you are authoring unit test cases, so there is no need to validate your own test case in this way, right?

Answer 2

You can use a Has.Property matcher like this:

IEmailService s = mocks.NewMock<IEmailService>();

Expect.Once.On(s).Method("Send").
    With(Has.Property("Subject", Is.EqualTo("rarr")));

s.Send(new Email { Subject = 'rarr' });
mocks.Verify...();

Or you could write a custom matcher to verify that the argument is of the type Email and that its Subject property has the correct value.
