I have a unit test where I am using Moq and Fluent Assertions:
[Fact]
public void GetSymbols_ShouldSetSucceedToTrue_WhenSecondAttemptSucceed()
{
string selectedFileName = "testFileName.txt";
string[] expectedResult = new string[] { "testSymbol1", "testSymbol2" };
Mock<IOpenFileDialogService> mockFileDialogService = new Mock<IOpenFileDialogService>();
mockFileDialogService.SetupSequence(m => m.ShowDialog()).Returns(false).Returns(true);
mockFileDialogService.Setup(m => m.FileName).Returns(selectedFileName);
Mock<IFileService> mockFileService = new Mock<IFileService>();
mockFileService.Setup(m => m.ReadAllLines(selectedFileName)).Returns(expectedResult);
SymbolsProviderFromFile spff = new SymbolsProviderFromFile(mockFileDialogService.Object, mockFileService.Object);
// Act
spff.GetSymbols();
IEnumerable<string> result = spff.GetSymbols();
// Assert
using (new AssertionScope())
{
result.Should().Equal(expectedResult);
spff.Succeed.Should().BeTrue();
}
}
I would like to check the second call of my method.
Unfortunately when I debug this code, the spff.GetSymbols()
method is only called once and it is called on the result.Should().Equals(expectedResult)
line when the result is checked. There is some kind of a lazy loading here - the method is only called when the result is needed.
Why is it not called immediately in the spff.GetSymbols()
line? How can I change this behavior and how can I call testing method twice in unit test?
Problem has been resolved thanks to @Dennis Doomen.
An issue about not executing method immediately was in the implementation of the spff.GetSymbols()
method which uses yield return
so it wasn't really related to unit testing.
