Planning Rhino Mock 3.5 - The Lambda Edition

[Ayende Rahien]

Now that I pushed all the current changes out, we need to start thinking about the next version. I am planning on seeing what kind of syntax I can get from the language using C# 3.0. As of yet, I don't have any concrete ideas about what should be done, so I am here to solicit ideas about what you want.

Syntax suggestions, patches, comments, etc are all welcome.

I have a request but it is not C#3 related :-)

//This next line is the request
IServiceProvider mockServiceProvider =
mocks.CreatePassThrough<IServiceProvider>(MyServiceProviderInstance);

SetupResult.For(mockServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IMyService))).Return(mockMyService);

The idea is that anything I have not setup a result for should be passed
onto MyServiceProviderInstance. Basically this will save me from having to
do a SetupResult.For for some 10 to 20 calls when all I want to do is to
mock one of them.

You can do that right now with partial mocks.

I have looked hard but can't find out how. The target object is an existing
instance of IServiceProvider, how can I create a partial mock that passes
everything through to that exact instance? The instance is important
because I am dealing with a specific cache etc.

Thanks

I would love it if Callbacks would just accept Actions instead of specific delegates, actually all the use of the delegates at the moment would be useful if i could just put in a lambda expression.

No, existing instances are not supported, but why can't you create an instance through the mock repsitory?

That is because the support for those was added in 1.1 days. :-)

 

Yes, this is certainly a good point.
