Question

I am new to Moq and need to know if I am doing this right.

In AccountController.cs I have this:

      int id = _userRepository.GetProfileFromUserName(userName).ProfileID;

UserRepository is mocked, but ProfileID comes from DataContext, so I did this in my AccountControllerTests.cs:

      mockUserReposository.Setup(gp => gp.GetProfileFromUserName(userName)).Returns(new Profile { ProfileID = 1 });

This way I get the id variable to be equal to 1, and ensure that ProfileID doesn t use the one from DataContext when called in AccountController.cs

Is this the right way to do it? Or do I somehow need to mock my whole Profile table from Linq to SQL?

Answer 1

Depends what you re testing. If you re looking to Fake the GetProfileFromUserName for the purposes of sticking in a desired Profile, it looks fine.

Can you edit in more of your test so people can give more complete insights - the only answer given how much you ve said is It Depends :D
