MockFiles

Helper for C# testing. Create json mock data from your integration tests, and re-use them on the fly in your unit tests.

Installation

Download source and reference MockFiles.dll or install via Nuget

PM> Install-Package MockFiles

Usage

In your integration tests, stub out your return data using MockProvider.RegisterStub. The class must implement an interface.

            var band = new Band(); // implements IBand
            var members = band.GetMembers();
            MockProvider.RegisterStub(band, new Func<List<Member>>(band.GetMembers), members);
            /// Creates file "IBand.GetMembers.json"

Once the json files exist in your test folder. Use them as much as you want in your unit tests by creating mocks using MockProvider.GetMock where T is the Interface to be used.

            var mockBand = MockProvider.GetMock<IBand>();
            var stubMembers = mockBand.GetMembers();

Methods with parameters will create json files with the signature described in the filename. eg.

var members = band.GetMembersByStatus(true);
MockProvider.RegisterStub(band, new Func<bool, List<Member>>(band.GetMembersByStatus), members); 
// will create a json file named "IBand.GetMembersByStatus_Boolean.json"
