Question

Say I have the following:

public interface ISession 
{
   T Get<T>(dynamic filter); }
}

And I have the following code that I want to test:

var user1 = session.Get<User>(new {Name = "test 1"});
var user2 = session.Get<User>(new {Name = "test 2"});

How would I mock this call?

Using Moq, I tired doing this:

var sessionMock = new Mock<ISession>();
sessionMock.Setup(x => x.Get<User>(new {Name = "test 1")).Returns(new User{Id = 1});
sessionMock.Setup(x => x.Get<User>(new {Name = "test 1")).Returns(new User{Id = 2});

And that didn’t work. The returned results is null

I also tried to do the following with Rhino Mocks:

var session = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ISession>();
session.Stub(x => x.Get<User>(new {Name = "test 1"})).Return(new User{Id=1});

No luck either. Null again.

So how would I do this?

Thanks,

You can use the It.Is<object> matcher together with reflection. You cannot use dynamic in expression trees so It.Is<dynamic> won’t work that’s why you need reflection to get the your property value by name:

sessionMock
    .Setup(x => x.Get<User>(
        It.Is<object>(d => d.GetPropertyValue<string>("Name") == "test 1")))
    .Returns(new User{Id = 1});
sessionMock
    .Setup(x => x.Get<User>(
        It.Is<object>(d => d.GetPropertyValue<string>("Name") == "test 2")))
    .Returns(new User { Id = 2 });

Where GetPropertyValue is a little helper:

public static class ReflectionExtensions
{
    public static T GetPropertyValue<T>(this object obj, string propertyName)
    {
        return (T) obj.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName).GetValue(obj, null);
    }
}
