setting expected "Times" during setup

[mauro.s...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm totally new to Moq, I'm used to Rhino Mock.
I was reading the wiki page on Google Code, imaging this test setup:

var respository = factory.Create<IMyRepository>();
respository.Setup( r => r.MyMethod ( It.IsAny<Int32>() ) ).Verifiable();
...
respository.Verify( r => r. MyMethod( It.IsAny<Int32>() ), Times.Once() );

Don't you think could be interesting to be able to set the expected number of times at setup times and not only at verify time? In this sample there is duplicate code (the expression) required only to set the expected times.

Hi Mauro - you don't need the Setup call at all in this case. You
only need the Setup if you want to configure the behaviour of the mock
(return a value, throw an exception etc)

Hi Andy,

could you expand on this with a sample?

Cheers,

// Arrange
var respository = new Mock<IMyRepository>();

// Act
// Do something that uses the (mock) repository

// Assert

Ok, understood.
Mine was just a mere sample. If I need to setup "returns" I need to call setup twice, one at setup time and one at verify time. Is it correct?

// Arrange
var respository = new Mock<IMyRepository>();

repository.Setup( r => r. MyMethod( It.IsAny<Int32>() ).Returns( ... );

// Act
// Do something that uses the (mock) repository

// Assert
respository.Verify( r => r. MyMethod( It.IsAny<Int32>() ), Times.Once() );

Yes, though in my experience most of the time you don't need to verify
that the call on the mock was made when the mocked method returns a
value, because the assert portion of the test will check that the
returned value was used, and therefore implicitly verify that the
mocked method was called.

Only a small percentage of my tests (< 10% I'd guess) use Verify, and
very few of those Verify calls have a corresponding Setup call.

Yes it makes sense :-)
