Can anyone help with a simple mock for void methods. I'm been trying all the suggested examples and still cannot the method to be mock correctly.
Below is the code example:
==================================
public class TimerControl : ITimerControl
{
Public void TimerMethod()
{
Start();
}
}
==================================
I've tried the following and it won't work.
ITimerControl target = MockRepository.GenerateMock<ITimerControl>();
target.AssertWasNotCalled(method=>Method.TimerMethod());
============ this did not do nothing, it did not hit the TimerMethod.
And the tried the following also:
ITimerControl mock = MockRepository.GenerateMock<ITimerControl>();
Expect.Call( mock.TimerMethod);
=========== no success.
I'm new to Unit testing and tried very hard to find tutorials on Rhino Mock and read the documentation, but I'm still a noob in rhino mock and unit testing. Any help with this simple mock?

Sorry here's my answer:
You're not testing anything.If you're creating a mock then the system under test needs to use that mock.You have no system under test inside this TestClass.A system under test would be the consumer of this interface.in this case you'd use it like:myClass.SomeMethod(); // in SomeMethod you expect TimerMethod to be called or not to be called, based on the logic inside that method.then your next line would be:target.AssertWasNotCalled(method=>Method.TimerMethod());

System - as in the Namespace "using System.IO" or the class.
The code below is the class I'm trying to test:
======================
public class TimerControl : ITimerControl
{
Public TimerControl()
{
}
Public void TimerMethod()
{
Start();
}
}
======================
I just want to know if TimerMethod() was fired.
I've seen various ways of checking the void method within this Google
Group, but they have layers of layers of code, my code is just simple.
It has a empty constructor (which will be filled later) and void
methods for different flows. My TimerControl Class just has void
methods w/out parameters. I just want to test the flow, in which i
want to know if the TimerMethod was executed.

so you want to find out if Start() is called?

yes, i would like to know if Start() was called inside the
TimerMethod().

What is Start() a part of? What class? I assume the Timer class?
you need to then have your ITimerControl consumed by some other class and you would assert that your method "TimerMethod()" is called when expected.
I think I understand what you're trying to do, to prevent actually calling a real timer to start,
so you're on the right track with the purpose of Mocking but some other class needs to be your system under test, the consumer of the ITimerControl class.

here the summary of the TimerControl class, sorry I was trying to keep
it simple to just the method. Start is apart of the TimerControl
class.
======================
public class TimerControl : ITimerControl
{
Public TimerControl()
{
}
Public void TimerMethod()
{
Start();
}
Public void PauseTimer()
{
\\Loops thru a set of list threads
}
Public void ContinueTimer()
{
Start();
}
Public void Start()
{
\\ foreach loop thru a list
}
Public void Stop()
{
PauseTimers();
}
}
======================
I've tried the following.
[TestMethod]
public void ContinueTimer_Test()
{
var mockTimer = MockRepository.GenerateMock<ITimerControl>();
mockTimer.ContinueTimer();
mockTimer.VerifyAllExpectations();
}
I was going by this suggestion from this site
http://www.ronaldwidha.net/2009/01/30/mocking-void-method-with-rhino-mocks/
but I get his error " Invalid call, the last call has been used or no
call has been made (make sure that you are calling a virtual (C#) /
Overridable (VB) method)."

yeah I think there is still a point of mocking you're not getting.
The TimerControl class is your mock, so it needs to be consumed by another class.
You don't need to test if a mock calls itself.
Lets say you have a Controller:
public class MyController : Controller
{
private readonly ITimerControl _timer;
public MyController(ITimerControl timer)
{
_timer = timer;
}
void
ButtonStart()
{
// some logic that might determine whether timer.TimerMethod() is called
}
}
// ignore the NUnit attributes, use microsoft's for your case
[TestFixture]
public
class ControllerTests
{
// System under Test
private MyController _controllerSUT;
// Dependencies
private ITimerControl _timerControl;
[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
_timerControl = MockRepository.GenerateMock<ITimerControl>();
_controllerSUT = new MyController(_timerControl);
}
[Test]
public void ButtonStart_should_call_timerControl_TimerMethod()
{
_controllerSUT.ButtonStart();
// you're asserting that ButtonStart when invoked should call the dependency method
// this could be AssertWasNotCalled, depends on the logic you're testing
_timerControl.AssertWasCalled(d => d.TimerMethod());
}
