ref argument and It.Is<> (or It.IsAny<>)

[Lionel]

Hi all,

Is there any way to call the Setup method with a byref argument and
It.Is<T> ?
If I have the method
Inherit(ref Group parentGroup, [...])
to have something like:
mymock.Setup(f => f.Inherit(ref It.IsAny<Group>(), [...]));

Pitifully, I cannot really know in advance the value of the byref
parameter, so I don't think I can do the Setup with an explicit value
(I know the variable name of course, but not its content).

Many thanks in advance
Lionel

No, sorry. You need the actual instance that is going to be passed in for the match to occur.

ref arguments are not used for matching, they are used as return values.

Daniel,

 

Do you mean that the ref argument is not used when match a declaration (a Setup) against actual method calls?

indeed. ref/out are considered return values only.
