I have a method as following:

public static void Debug(string message, int eventId)
{
if (DoILog(LogLevelKey.LogVerboseMsgToEventLog))
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
{
Logger.Write(eventId, null, message, null, "General", 0, LogStatus.Success, TraceEventType.Verbose);
});
}
}

I need to mock the SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges method which is a static method but it accepts a delegate as the input parameter. Inside the delegate implementation there is another static method: Logger.Write(...).

I wrote this:
SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated inputArgument = delegate
{
Logger.Write(_eventId, null, _message, null, "General", 0, LogStatus.Success, TraceEventType.Verbose);
};
Action spSecurityAction = delegate { SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(inputArgument); };
Isolate.WhenCalled(spSecurityAction).IgnoreCall();

But it complains that it can't mock that static method because it has a delegate instance as input parameter.

How could I mock SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges?

Thanks

Hi Ben,

You can fake all static methods of SPSecurity to prevent that method from running:

[TestMethod]
public void SPSecurityRunWithElevatedPrivileges_IgnoreCall_CallIsIgnored()
{
    Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods(typeof(SPSecurity));

    bool wasCalled = false;
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(() => { wasCalled = true; }); 
    Assert.IsFalse(wasCalled);
}


Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Doron

Hi Doron,

Thanks for your response.

Well, I know that but I need to ensure that the right arguments has been passed to the RunWithElevatedPrivileges() static method.

Is there any way to achieve this? Faking the implementation of a method makes sense but ignoring the arguments doesn't, as we should be able to validate that.

Thanks.

There's an older syntax (Natural Mocks) that they use for this sort of thing:

https://www.typemock.com/Docs/UserGuide/newGuide/Documentation/CheckArgumentsNatural.html

Being able to check specifics about individual arguments in AAA is coming soon from what I'm see in this forum...

Hope that helps.
