I am new to NHibernate and even newer to MOQ (or other similar frameworks). After searching online day and night (google + stackoverflow + others), I am turning here for help.
The scenario is (should be) simple. I am trying to unit test a call on a C# WCF service that uses NHibernate as the ORM layer. The method, after doing some initial work, finds a database to connect to, and then calls on the SessionProvider (a manager of session factories) to return a nhibernate session for a sharded DB. I am then trying to use ISession.Get<>() to retrieve an object from the database aand then do some work. The problem is that the GUID (the key for the entry that I am looking up in the db) is generated at the begining of the call and I have no way of knowing what it might be beforehand outside the scope of the WCF call. Hence, I cannot use sqllite or other techniques to pre-populate the necessary data to control the test. What I was hoping for was that I can somehow mock (inject a fake layer to?) the call to Session.Get to return an invalid object which should cause the WCF call to throw.
Here's the test code snippet:
var testRequest = ... (request DTO)
var dummyBadObject = ... (entity in DB)
var mock = new Mock<ISession>(MockBehavior.Strict);
mock.Setup(m => m.Get<SampleObject>(It.IsAny<Guid>())).Returns(dummyBadObject);
var exception = Assert.Throws<FaultException>(() => applicationService.SomeMethod(testRequest));
Assert.AreEqual(exception.Code.ToString(), SystemErrorFault.Code.ToString());
When I run this test, instead of interacting with the mock ISession object, the app service code calls the Get on the actual ISession object from the session factory, connects to the database and gets the right object. Seems like I am missing something very basic about mocks or injection. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Shawn
