mock ReadOnly property ?

[tom308]

Hi all!
i found few solution to this issue that didn't solve my problem.
i am building a log4net wrapper, and i am testing it with MSTest &
Rhino mock 3.5.

my problem is that i am trying to mock the LogManager.GetLogger
().Logger.IsEnabledFor().
i get object reference exception when trying to do:

rootLogger.Stub(l => l.Logger.IsEnabledFor(Level.Fatal)).Return(true);

and i can't do something like this:

rootLogger.Logger = new RootLogger();

because Logger is readOnly.

can anyone help?

LogManager.GetLogger() is static and therefore can't be intercepted by
Rhino Mocks. You may want to consider wrapping the functionality of
your logging in your own interfaces. You can mock out those
interfaces during testing, and implement a log4net implementation of
those interfaces for runtime.

sorry if i was misunderstood.
i don't need the static call - i have a ILog instance and i want to
mock the <ILog instance>.Logger.IsEnabledFor().

Thanks

Oops. Okay. I see. Something like this should work:

ILog log = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ILog>();
ILogger logger = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ILogger>();
logger.Stub(l => l.IsEnabledFor(Level.FATAL)).Return(true);
log.Stub(l => l.Logger).Return(logger);
