Some operations on non virtual members should throw an exception
Simon
Two work and one doesnt.
I understand that it is non virtual methods cannot be proxied with
DP2.
But it would be nice NSubstitute could tell me that it is not
possible. The problem is that syntactically I can write code to assert
something works but even if it fails NSubstitute doesnt notify me. It
makes it very easy to write a unit that doesnt really test anything.
[TestFixture]
public class Class1
{
[Test]
[ExpectedException(typeof(CallNotReceivedException))]
public void WithInterface()
{
var calculator = Substitute.For<ICalculator>();
calculator.Add(1, 2);
calculator.Received().Add(2, 2);
}
[Test]
[ExpectedException(typeof(CallNotReceivedException))]
public void WithNonVirtual()
{
var calculator = Substitute.For<NonVirtualCalculator>();
calculator.Add(1, 2);
calculator.Received().Add(2, 2);
}
[Test]
[ExpectedException(typeof(CallNotReceivedException))]
public void WithVirtual()
{
var calculator = Substitute.For<VirtualCalculator>();
calculator.Add(1, 2);
calculator.Received().Add(2, 2);
}
}
public interface ICalculator
{
int Add(int x, int y);
}
public class NonVirtualCalculator
{
public int Add(int x, int y){return x+y;}
}
public class VirtualCalculator
{
public virtual int Add(int x, int y) {return x+y;}
}

what you are suggesting would involve the following
1 a stack walk to get the calling method (Easy)
2 somehow map that location in the stack to an IL instruction (Not
sure how difficult)
3 check forward in the IL to see if the next call is on a non virtual
method (Easy)
Off the top of my head I am not sure how to do step 2 but all the
information is there so with a big enough hammer it should be
possible.
As for "crazily slow". I think after the first call it would be
feasible. But the first call would be expensive. The initial parse of
the assemblies IL as well as loading all the required types would mean
the first time u do this check it would add some fairly significant
time. I know I am talking in relative terms so let me try to equate it
to some real numbers. My machine is a 2.8GHz I7. With my initial
sample from the attachment the execution takes 200ms for a first run.
0ms (after rounding down) for a second run. So you suggestion should
be possible in under a ms per call. But are u willing to take the
initial hit?
You could have an API that people should call at startup that
"Initialises" everything. But if u are forcing them to do this u may
as well just do the testing at that point as per my initial
suggestion.
Of course the bigger hammer is to just take the target assembly and
change all instance members to virtual using Cecil. :)

nsubstitute. The reason being that by the time u get to the
nsubstitute context the assembly in question is already loaded. Since
u cant unload an assembly u are stuck.
I had a chat to philiplaureano on twitter and it looks like LinFu AOP
wont work for you either. It basically re-writes the target assembly
at post build time. So you would be forcing a hard dependency on Linfu
whenever someone wants to use NSubstitute ie their real production
code needs to be processed by linfu to make it unit testable. Not
something you would want?? And the scenario where you want to mock a
type from a 3rd party assembly is even more complicated.
And I agree with you "I just want to reference a DLL and go". I really
like that I dont need have anything installed or hack proj files to
get nsubstitute work.
I think the first step it would suffice to tell people when they are
mocking something that is not virtual.

So I dont have to worry about this problem anymore I wrote this
