I have an issue with NSubstitute compiling using its inference typing. When I set it up with more than a return type in my .Do() statement and then try and use a counter to see how many times it is called, the counter isn’t updated.

I am mocking a method that returns a string (it’s basically an abstraction of File.ReadAllText()):

int fileReadCount =0;

IFileDataSource fs = Substitute.For<IFileDataSource>();

fs.When(x => x.ReadAllText(Arg.Any<string>())).Do(x =>
            {
                fileReadCount++;
                return "test";
            });

The alternate form mentioned in the documentation does seem to work either:

        fs.ReadAllText("test").ReturnsForAnyArgs(x =>
        {
            fileReadCount++;
            return "test";
        });

My counter never changes.

I am following the examples from http://nsubstitute.github.com/help/return-from-function/ so I don’t understand what I am doing wrong – has the API changed?

    This works for me in NSubstitute 1.1:

    public interface IFileDataSource {
        string ReadAllText(string s);
    }
    
    [Test]
    public void TestName() {
        int fileReadCount = 0;
        var fs = Substitute.For<IFileDataSource>();
        fs.ReadAllText("test").ReturnsForAnyArgs(x =>
           {
               fileReadCount++;
               return "test";
           });
    
        fs.ReadAllText("sdf");
        fs.ReadAllText("sdf");
        Assert.AreEqual(fileReadCount, 2);
    }
    

    Can you post some more code to show the problem?
