Make Moq Setup recognice an array with values












1















How do I make Moq Setup recognise two arrays with the same values as equal?



I have this method that takes a list of strings as parameter.



class Hospital{
Patient GetPatients( DateTime dates ){
...
}
}


I setup a mock where I require the exact parameter.



var hospital= new Mock<Hospital>( MockBehavior.Strict );
hospital.Setup( m => m.GetPatients( new { new DateTime(2016,10,30) } ) );


Then, in my testee, I do the call.



hospital.GetPatients( new  { date } ); // date is DateTime(2016,10,30).


It does not recognise my mock.

This is natural as Equals does not consider two arrays equal.

But how do I make it?

          My solution was to (realise it is possible to) put a lambda in It.Is like It.Is<>( => )



          var hospital= new Mock<Hospital>( MockBehavior.Strict );
          hospital.Setup( m => m.GetPatients(
          It.Is<DateTime>( d => AreEqual(d) ) );


          and a helper method



          bool AreEqual( DateTime dates ){
          return dates.Counts == 1
          && dates[0] == new DateTime( 2016, 10, 30 );
          }

            Maybe at the time you asked this question Moq did not have this implemented. But now it should work the way you wrote.



            Moq does not use simple .Equal() method to verify if value are the same. It has a bit more complicated matching created. If it find IEnumerable then it uses .SequenceEqual()



            Since Array is Ienumerable it should work for you.
