Moq, a translator and an expression
- by jeriley
I'm working with an expression within a moq-ed "Get Service" and ran into a rather annoying issue. In order to get this test to run correctly and the get service to return what it should, there's a translator in between that takes what you've asked for, sends it off and gets what you -really- want. So, thinking this was easy I attempt this ... the fakelist is the TEntity objects (translated, used by the UI) and TEnterpriseObject is the actual persistance.
mockGet.Setup(mock => mock.Get(It.IsAny<Expression<Func<TEnterpriseObject, bool>>>())).Returns(
(Expression<Func<TEnterpriseObject, bool>> expression) =>
{
var items = new List<TEnterpriseObject>();
var translator = (IEntityTranslator<TEntity, TEnterpriseObject>) ObjectFactory.GetInstance(typeof (IEntityTranslator<TEntity, TEnterpriseObject>));
fakeList.ForEach(fake => items.Add(translator.ToEnterpriseObject(fake)));
items = items.Where(expression);
var result = new List<TEnterpriseObject>(items);
fakeList.Clear();
result.ForEach(item => translator.ToEntity(item));
return items;
});
I'm getting the red squigglie under there items.where(expression) -- says it can't be infered from usage (confused between <Func<TEnterpriseObject,bool>> and <Func<TEnterpriseObject,int,bool>>)
A far simpler version works great ...
mockGet.Setup(mock => mock.Get(It.IsAny<Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>>>())).Returns(
(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression) => fakeList.AsQueryable().Where(expression));
so I'm not sure what I'm missing... ideas?
