I’ve got some code which downloads some RSS feeds.
I’ve been using WebClient or Argotic.Syndication.RssFeed libraries.
But these aren’t mockable 🙁
I definately do not want to hit the real RSS feed every time I run the unit test.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what I can do?
Do I need to create an evil wrapper? If so .. suggestions on this?
I go for creating a wrapper for every external dependency (if it’s practical). So, every interaction with the filesystem/a webservice/database should be done through an interface only, which will lead to more testable code.
Another solution of course is (as always) Typemock Isolator.
