Question

I have the following repository:

interface IReportingRepository where T: Report
{
     IEnumerable<T> GetReports<T>(object constraints);
}

and I am trying to mock out a call to this repository as:

var reportingRepostory = new Mock<IReportingRepository>();
                       reportingRepostory.Setup(x => 
                       x.GetReports<ServiceReport (Moq.It.IsAny<object>())).
                       Returns(new List<ServiceReport>(){Report1, Report2});

However instead of passing in

Moq.It.IsAny<object>()

I want to pass the anonymous type

new {Activated = true, Enabled = true}

so that I can setup my expectation that the correct anonymous type is used.

You can use custom matchers with a bit of reflection help:

var reportingRepostory = new Mock<IReportingRepository>();
reportingRepostory
    .Setup(x => x.GetReports<ServiceReport>(HasProperties()))
    .Returns(new List<ServiceReport>(){Report1, Report2});

Where HasProperties method is implemented as follows:

private object HasProperties()
{
    return Match.Create(
        (object o)  =>
        {
            var properties = o.GetType().GetProperties();
            return properties.Any(p => p.Name == "Available")
                && properties.Any(p => p.Name == "Enabled");
        });
}
