Getting feet wet with NMock 2

[chris Burgess-3]

I'm looking for a little jump start with mock objects using NMock2.
I'm trying to mock an IEntityDAO interface so that I can return a
Project object to test.

I have a class called ProjectDAO that has a method called 'GetById'
that will load and return a 'Project' object after tripping to the
database. GetById takes a single string argument.

Public Interface IEntityDAO
    Function GetByID(ByVal projectNumber As String) As Project
End Interface

    Public Class ProjectDAO
    Inherits DAOBase
    Implements IEntityDAO

    Public Function GetByID(ByVal projectNumber As String) As Project
Implements IEntityDAO.GetByID
        Dim Proj As New Project
        Dim parms As SqlParameter() = {New
SqlParameter("ProjectNumber", projectNumber)}

        Using dt As DataTable = GetTable("Project_GetByID", parms)
            If (dt Is Nothing) OrElse dt.Rows.Count = 0 Then
                Throw New ArgumentException("Invalid Project Number!")
            Else
                MapData(Proj, dt)
            End If
        End Using
        Return Proj
    End Function

    Public Function MapData(ByRef proj As Business.Project, ByVal dt
As DataTable) As Boolean
        proj.ProjectNumber = CType(dt.Rows(0)("ProjectNumber"), String)
        proj.ProjectName = CType(dt.Rows(0)("ProjectName"), String)
    End Function


End Class



Public Class Project
    Inherits EntityBase

    Private _projectNumber As String
    Public Property ProjectNumber() As String
        Get
            Return _projectNumber
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _projectNumber = Value
        End Set
    End Property

    Private _projectName As String
    Public Property ProjectName() As String
        Get
            Return _projectName
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _projectName = Value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

So far, I've gotten this far:

<Test()> _
Public Sub testProjectDAO()
    Dim mocks As New Mockery()
    Dim DAO = mocks.NewMock(GetType(IEntityDAO))
    ' tried a bunch of stuff here that didn't work
End Sub

I'm not sure what goes next.

Thanks!

Chris,

I can't really help with NMock2 (except to say that usually "N" things come with some simple examples).
I'm currently still using NMock (lightweight mocker that comes with NUnit).
I can give you some ideas how I'm using that if you need.

That would be great, John!  Anything you can send to help me with my example
would be very much appreciated.

Hi John,

NMock is the name of the .NET mock objects framework that
was the ancestor of NMock2. The thing I wrote for NUnit
doesn't really have a name except maybe "NUnit Mocks."

Hi Charlie:

Can you show me how to setup this up using 'Nunit Mocks' for my example
earlier in the thread?

I'm currently using NUnit.NMock in my tests.
I did play around with NMock2 (with the mockery syntax) but it was held to be an early version so I reverted to the pre-NMock2 style.
It works well enough, and it's simple.

Chris,

I guess this is not going to give you complete satisfaction, but anyway, just ask more questions for things that are not clear.
(Apologies in advance for using C# instead of VB - I've just used this in C#). Also, I'm using NUnit.Mocks (which comes with NUnit 2.5).

- First you need an interface. Your example is IEntityDAO, which defines the function GetByID:
            Project GetByID(string projectNumber);

- You create a Dynamic mock, like this:
            DynamicMock dm = new DynamicMock(typeof(IEntityDAO));

- I usually explicitly set it to be strict
            dm.Strict = true;

- I need a Project instance to return:
            Project project = new Project(); // probably have to set some useful project stuff...

- Now I can set up my expectation (I pretty well always use the array of object for the args):
            dm.ExpectAndReturn("GetByID", project, new object[] { "project number 123" });

- Grab myself an instance to work with, to inject into another object for example:
            IEntityDAO ied = (IEntityDAO)dm.MockInstance;

- That was the "arrange" part - now do the "act" and "assert"

- Then check if the mock was used as you expected:
            dm.Verify();

Hi John,

My point was only that the name "NMock" is already taken
by someone else, so we shouldn't call NUnitMocks by that
name. Fortunately, they're a nice bunch of guys and will
probably not sue you. :-)

I wouldn't recommend using NUnit mocks, since it was never designed to be in
public use (charlie can help explain that more).
it also has some drawbacks such as having to use strings for method names
(refactoring unfriendly) and other things that do exist in other frameworks.
there is a more recent list of frameworks(with pros and cons of each) you
might want to choose from at:

Hi John:

Thanks John. This was helpful. I think I need to re-evaluate my design.

Ah! Ok - I didn't know that - sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hi John,

My point was only that the name "NMock" is already taken
by someone else, so we shouldn't call NUnitMocks by that
name. Fortunately, they're a nice bunch of guys and will
probably not sue you. :-)

Roy,

Thanks for the pointers.

I agree that, as a mocking framework, "NUnit mocks" (did I get the name right this time?!) is simple. But that is sometimes a goodness. I keep meaning to go and try a more modern framework - but it's a learning curve cost.

Really, the main irritation with "NUnit mocks" is the use of strings for method names. It leads to some test fragility, and some lack of refactoring ease. Sure, there are other little niggles. But it's simple, it's in the NUnit kit, and I know how to drive it.

I wouldn't recommend using NUnit mocks, since it was never designed to be in
public use (charlie can help explain that more).
it also has some drawbacks such as having to use strings for method names
(refactoring unfriendly) and other things that do exist in other frameworks.
there is a more recent list of frameworks(with pros and cons of each) you
might want to choose from at:
