How to mock a class that implements multiple interfaces

Question

How to mock the following class:

UserRepository : GenericRepository<User>, IUserRepository   public class GenericRepository<TEntity> : IGenericRepository<TEntity> where TEntity : class 

I am using Moq, and I am confused how to handle multiple interfaces correctly.

Answer 1

Take a look at https://github.com/Moq/moq4/wiki/Quickstart

// implementing multiple interfaces in mock var foo = new Mock<IFoo>(); var disposableFoo = foo.As<IDisposable>(); // now IFoo mock also implements IDisposable :) disposableFoo.Setup(df => df.Dispose()); 

Answer 2

There is a mechanism built into Moq for dealing with multiple interfaces.

Say we have an interface IFoo and an implementation of the same Foo. We also have ClientOne that uses IFoo.

We then have an interface IFooBar : IFoo, an implementation FooBar : Foo, IFooBar and a ClientTwo that uses IFooBar.

When creating an end-to-end test for the system we have an IFooBar, ClientOne and ClientTwo. The As<>() function allows us to use the Mock<IFooBar> as a Mock<IFoo>.

public interface IFoo {     int Id { get; } }  public class Foo : IFoo {     public int Id {         get { return 1; }     } }  public interface IFooBar : IFoo  {     string Name { get; } }  public class FooBar : Foo, IFooBar {     public string Name {         get { return "AName"; }     } }  public class ClientOne {     private readonly IFoo foo;      public ClientOne(IFoo foo) {         this.foo = foo;     }      public string Details {         get { return string.Format("Foo : {0}", foo.Id); }     }  }  public class ClientTwo {     private readonly IFooBar fooBar;      public ClientTwo(IFooBar fooBar) {         this.fooBar = fooBar;     }      public string Details {         get { return string.Format("Foo : {0}, Bar : {1}", fooBar.Id, fooBar.Name); }     }  }   [TestMethod] public void TestUsingBothClients() {      var fooBarMock = new Mock<IFooBar>();     var fooMock = fooBarMock.As<IFoo>();      fooBarMock.SetupGet(mk => mk.Id).Returns(1);     fooBarMock.SetupGet(mk => mk.Name).Returns("AName");      var clientOne = new ClientOne(fooMock.Object);     var clientTwo = new ClientTwo(fooBarMock.Object);      Assert.AreEqual("Foo : 1", clientOne.Details);     Assert.AreEqual("Foo : 1, Bar : AName", clientTwo.Details);  }
