Syntax

public static class MockUtility

Methods

Build<T>()

Creates a fluent builder for constructing an instance of a class with a mix of Moq-based mocks and explicit values for constructor parameters. Use this when the class has multiple constructors or has non-mockable parameters like strings, primitives, or enums.

Declaration

public static MockInstanceBuilder<T> Build<T>() where T : class

Returns

Type	Description
MockInstanceBuilder<T>	A MockInstanceBuilder for fluent configuration.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type to create. This is typically the system under test.

CreateInstance<T>()

Creates an instance of a class using reflection and Moq. If the class has a parameterless constructor, it will be used. If the class has a constructor with parameters, mocks will be created for each parameter type. ///

Declaration

public static MockCreationResult<T> CreateInstance<T>() where T : class

Returns

Type	Description
MockCreationResult<T>	MockCreationResult that provides access to the instance of T that was instantiated and also access to the Moq mocks.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Create an instance of this type. This is typically the system under test.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	Exceptions are thrown if the class does not have any constructors or has multiple constructors. For classes with multiple constructors or non-mockable parameters, use MockUtility.Build<T>() instead.
