Don't spend hours writing code to mock a dozen dependencies, and more hours debugging it. Just write your test code, and let FixtureBase create the dependencies for you.

FixtureBase constructs your UnitUnderTest to test your codebase end-to-end, with external dependencies auto-faked and automatically injected in just the right place; even constructor dependencies that are several layers deep.

You just write your tests:

public class FixtureBaseExample : FixtureBaseWithDbAndHttpFor<AUseCase>
{
    [Fact]
    public void UUTSendsDataToDb()
    {
        var newDatum = new Datum{Id=99, Name="New!" };

        UnitUnderTest.InsertDb(newDatum);

        Db.ShouldHaveInserted("Data",newDatum);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void UUTreturnsDataFromDbQuerySingleColumn()
    {
        var dbData = new[] { "row1", "row2", "row3", "row4"};
        Db.SetUpForQuerySingleColumn(dbData);

        UnitUnderTest.FromDbStrings().ShouldEqualByValue(dbData);
    }

    [Fact]
    public async Task UUTGetHttpReturnsDataFromService()
    {
        var contentFromService = "IGotThis!";
        HttpClient
            .Setup(m => true)
            .Returns(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK) {Content = new StringContent(contentFromService)});

        (await UnitUnderTest.GetHttp()).ShouldBe(contentFromService);

        HttpClient.Verify(x=>x.Method==HttpMethod.Get);
    }
}

Not yet done:

  • Circular construction — new WrapperClass(new WrapperClass(new ...)) isn't currently handled by the default ruleset. Workaround: Create it manually and use [ActivateUsingInstance()] to point to it.

The included examples demonstrate FixtureBases for applications which depend on Ado.Net IDbConnections and on HttpClient network connections.
