NSubsitute mocking container

[Ian Johnson]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if people use an auto mocking container with NSubsitute? The reason I ask is because I'm working on creating an auto mocking container using Grace for dependency injection and NSubstitute for missing dependencies.

I'm curious if there are any special features people like or look for in their mocking containers.

Thanks

Hi Ian,

I've used one we bolted on to StructureMap, but I can't think of any special features we used; just basic auto-subbing dependencies that weren't manually injected into the AMC.

Regards,

David

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply, at the moment that's pretty much the feature set I'm looking at, Concrete types are serviced by the container and missing interfaces are serviced with NSubstitute. Allowing you to do

SubstituteContainer container = new SubstituteContainer();

AnyType instance = container.Locate<AnyType>();

I am big fan of how easy it is to use NSubstitute so it is nice to keep the feature set simple but if anyone knows of any interesting auto mocking features I'm all ears.

Thanks again

Hi Ian,

There's a project: https://github.com/MRCollective/AutofacContrib.NSubstitute

I use it in my projects, it solves all my problems.

Maybe you can make this project better, instead of creating a new one.

Hi Alexandar,

That looks like an interesting project, The reason I'm putting this project together is because I've created a new Dependency Injection container that is arguably better than Autofac (it's 2-3x faster and has a larger feature set). I'm looking to create new projects that help developers be more productive with Grace rather than trying to help people keep using the status quo.

So I can understand your hesitation to try something new but Grace offers some real upside compare to using your same old DI container.

Grace seems a very interesting project, thanks for pointing me out.

[Ian Johnson]

Yeah I'm a big of the NSubstitute syntax, while I like Moq and FakeItEasy NSubstitute feels like that next step in syntax

So hopefully if people like my container and like NSubstitute I can provide them some code to glue the two together without the developer having to do anything.

I'll check out the autosubstitute container tonight and see if I can get feature parity.

thanks
