Hi,

I am trying to mock a call to a private method on an instance of a class so I can control it's return value. I am using VS2005, so using private accessors and keep getting the same error:

Cannot use Return in this sequence, there must be a mocked statement first

My code is:

EditorFacade target = new EditorFacade();
EditorFacadeAccessor accessor = new EditorFacadeAccessor(target);

string[] assemblyNames = new string[] { "John" };

using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
{
accessor.GetAssemblyNames();
recorder.Return(assemblyNames);
}

It is the call to Return that throws the exception. I have tried a few variations on the theme, but simply cannot get it working.

I am using 3.7.1 on Vista.

Thanks

Colin

Colin,
This should work, I have just run a test on my machine and it works.
Please post the EditorFacadeAccessor.GetAssemblyNames() signature so that I can try to reproduce the bug.

Thanks for looking at this Scott, the signature for the method is:

private string[] GetAssemblyNames()

which is why I was trying to return an array of strings.

Is there anyway to achieve this with reflective mocks?

Strange,
I have tried it and it works.
Please run with Log enabled (TypeMock Configuration->Visual Studio->Log Enabled) and send the log (I will send you the address via e-mail).

I have also tried using reflective mocks, which also fails.

string[] assemblyNames = new string[] { "John" };

MockManager.Init();
Mock mockFacacde = MockManager.Mock(typeof(EditorFacade));
mockFacacde.ExpectAndReturn("GetAssemblyNames", assemblyNames, 1);

EditorFacade target = new EditorFacade();
EditorFacadeAccessor accessor = new EditorFacadeAccessor(target);

Type attributeType = typeof(Commands.MessageCommandAttribute);

System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.Type, System.Type> table = new Dictionary<Type, Type>();

accessor.IndexAttributedClasses(attributeType, table);

MockManager.Verify();

Index AttributedClasses calls GetAssemblyNames, so I'd expect Verify to be happy with one call, but it fails saying the method hasn't been called.

Hi,
Could you check to see if the file "c:Program FilesTypeMockTypeMock.NET amespaces.dat" exists and is readable.

Also please run RegEdit.exe and post the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{E1A6A8C8-C7FA-4F97-843F-83F638EA4248}InprocServer32 (default)

Yes the namespaces.dat exists, is read & writeble and contains the following text:

nunit
vstesthost.exe
MbUnit
TestDriven.TestRunner.dll
JetBrains.ReSharper.UnitTestRunner.exe


The reg key has the following subkeys

(Default) REG_SZ C:Program FilesTypeMockTypeMock.NETMockWeaver.dll

ThreadingModel REG_SZ Both

Open TypeMock Configuration->Visual Studio Tab

Make sure that Fast Mode is NOT selected.
Also make sure that you don't have an environment variable TMOCK_FAST set.

Scott, you are a hero!

I must have been fiddling with the settings yesterday and ticked that box is desperation. Now it is unticked, both the natural and reflective mocks work!

Suggestion: make it very clear in the config tool what that tick box does and when you might want to use it?

Thanks again!

Your advice Colin is exactly what we want to do.
We will create a better message for the tick box
