When I use mock objects in this case NMock, I would really like to have compile time check that passing the paramters to the expectation as strings
Example
Expect.Once.On(dbHelper).Method(”GetRequestsForUser”)
.With(userID).Will(Return.Value(requests));
In case in point above I am expecting that when i call the helper in that a method called GetRequestsForUser with userId
will return something
The problem is the mock framework is quite dumb until invoked.
When i want to refactor by adding a new parameter to the method GetRequestsForUser, the compiler has no clue that i have to change the test above.
Does anyone know the intent behind choosing such a design for the mock framework. Is there something more smart out there.
Update: Found out from one of my friends about Rhino mock. A typed mock framework. I haven’t used it yet, but plan to try it out soon.
