Natural Mocks when return will be casted

You could try:

// get provider somehow (it could be mocked)
Provider dataProvider = ConnectionScope.Current.DataProvider;
// create fake OracleProvider
OracleProvider mockedProvider =  
   RecorderManager.CreateMockObject(typeof(OracleProvider));

using (RecordExpectations rec = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
{
   // return fake OracleProvider
   dataProvider.GetProvider(null);
   rec.Return(mockedProvider).RepeatAlways();

   // Delete must be called on our fake provider 
   mockedProvider.Delete();
   rec.Return(false); 
}

Thanks for the quick reply

I have tried doing the following

OracleProvider mockedProvider =
       RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject(typeof (OracleProvider)) as
            OracleProvider;

using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
{
   Provider dataProvider = ConnectionScope.Current.DataProvider;

   dataProvider.GetProvider(null);
   recorder.Return(mockedProvider);
   
   bool result = mockedProvider.Delete();
   recorder.Return(true);
}

However when the Delete method attempts to do:

OracleProvider providerInstance = dataProvider.GetProvider(typeof(OracleProvider)) as OracleProvider;

I get an exception thrown. Unexpected Call to MockProvider.GetProvider(). This confuses me a bit as surely the dataProvider.GetProvider(null) inside the recorder section means that it is expecting this call?

There is actually a little bit more surrounding this code so if you want me to post the full Delete method and Delete Test then let me know.

Thanks,

Please use the Tracer to see how the methods are called.
You might want to use: recorder.RepeatAlways();

If you need please export the trace log and send it to me via the support e-mail.

I've had a look at the tracer and can't see what the problem is as it shows it is expecting the call.

I cut the code down to the following test:

        [TestMethod]
        public void Provider_Problem_Test()
        {
            MockManager.Init();

            Mock MockOracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider = MockManager.MockObject(typeof (OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider));
            OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider ObjMockOracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider =
                (OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider) MockOracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider.MockedInstance;            

            using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
            {
                EntityViewProviderAdapter temp = ConnectionScope.Current.DataProvider.GetProvider(null);
                recorder.Return(ObjMockOracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider);
            }

            try
            {
                OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider provider =
                    ConnectionScope.Current.DataProvider.GetProvider(typeof (OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider)) as OracleVWE_STB_BOOKMARKProvider;

                MockManager.Verify();
            }
            finally
            {
                MockManager.ClearAll();
            }
       }

I will send the details + trace file to the support e-mail now.

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

The only e-mails I can see on the contact page are info & sales. Where do you want me to send the trace file?

Thanks,

try: recorder.DefaultBehavior.RepeatAlways
I will send you the e-mail address off line
