Unit Testing functions within repository interfaces - ASP.net MVC3 & Moq
- by RawryLions
I'm getting into writing unit testing and have implemented a nice repository pattern/moq to allow me to test my functions without using "real" data. So far so good.. However..
In my repository interface for "Posts" IPostRepository I have a function:
Post getPostByID(int id);
I want to be able to test this from my Test class but cannot work out how.
So far I am using this pattern for my tests:
[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
mock = new Mock<IPostRepository>();
}
[Test]
public void someTest()
{
populate(10); //This populates the mock with 10 fake entries
//do test here
}
In my function "someTest" I want to be able to call/test the function GetPostById. I can find the function with mock.object.getpostbyid but the "object" is null.
Any help would be appreciated :)
iPostRepository:
public interface IPostRepository
{
IQueryable<Post> Posts {get;}
void SavePost(Post post);
Post getPostByID(int id);
}
