I am new to NSubstitute, I am trying to mock a void
method with 2 out
parameters and I am pretty sure I am doing it wrong.
I have a CustomerDataAccess
class that has a method with the following signature:
void GetCustomerWithAddresses(int customerId,
out List<Customer> customers,
out List<Address> addresses);
The CustomerRepository
calls its GetCustomer
method which then calls the CustomerDataAccess.GetCustomerWithAddresses
DAL method. The DAL method then outputs two out
parameters one for the customer and one for addresses. The repository method then uses AutoMapper
to map the two objects from the DAL method to a business domain which the repository then returns.
Here is the code I have so far and it is not working. My research hasn't helped me to identify what I need to do to fix this issue. How do I set the value of my out
parameters?
// Arange
ICustomerDataAccess customerDataAccess = Substitute.For<ICustomerDataAccess>();
IList<Customer> customers;
IList<Address> addresses;
customerDataAccess.When(x => x.GetCustomerWithAddresses(
1, out customers, out addresses))
.Do(x =>
{
customers = new List<Customer>() { new Customer() { CustomerId = 1, CustomerName = "John Doe" } };
addresses = new List<Address>() { new Address() { AddressId = 1, AddressLine1 = "123 Main St", City = "Atlanta" } };
});
CustomerRepository sut = new CustomerRepository(customerDataAccess);
// Act
Customer customer = sut.GetCustomer(1);
// Assert
Assert.IsNotNull(customer);
out
parameters are updated using their parameter position as an index. It's explained in the Returns
documentation for NSubstitute. So, for your particular case, you are populating the second and third parameters, so you should be setting up your call like this:
customerDataAccess.When(x => x.GetCustomerWithAddresses(1, out customers, out addresses))
.Do(x =>
{
x[1] = new List<Customer>() { new Customer() { CustomerId = 1, CustomerName = "John Doe" } };
x[2] = new List<Address>() { new Address() { AddressId = 1, AddressLine1 = "123 Main St", City = "Atlanta" } };
});
For non-void methods the regular return syntax can be used:
var haveWithAddresses = customerDataAccess.GetCustomerWithAddresses(1, out customers, out addresses)
.Returns(callInfo => {
callInfo[0] = new List<Customer>();
callInfo[1] = new List<Address>();
return true;
});
With Void
methods the When...Do
syntax is correct.
