Hi everybody,
I'm trying to mock a very simple method in SharePoint, but I cannot find the problem... please help:

My method:

        public String TestSite(String SiteUrl)
        {
            //Try to count the number of Document Libraries in the SPWeb
            String strReturn = String.Empty;
            SPSite mySite = null;
            SPWeb myWeb = null;

            try
            {
                mySite = new SPSite(SiteUrl);
                myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb();
                SPListCollection myListCol = myWeb.Lists;

                int LibraryCounter = 0;
                foreach (SPList myList in myListCol)
                {
                    if (myList.BaseType == SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary)
                        LibraryCounter++;
                }

                strReturn = LibraryCounter.ToString();
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                strReturn = ex.ToString();
            }
            finally
            {
                if (myWeb != null) myWeb.Dispose();
                if (mySite != null) mySite.Dispose();
            }

            return strReturn;
        }


My test method:

        [TestMethod()]
        public void TestSiteTest()
        {
            using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording())
            {
                Guid Guid0 = Guid.NewGuid();
                Guid Guid1 = Guid.NewGuid();

                SPSite mySiteMocked = new SPSite("");  //Mock the Site

                SPWeb myWebMocked = RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject<SPWeb>();  //Mock the Web
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(mySiteMocked.OpenWeb(), myWebMocked);

                SPListCollection myListCollMocked = 
                       RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject<SPListCollection>();  //Mock the Coll.
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myWebMocked.Lists, myListCollMocked);
                //recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListCollMocked.Count, 2);
                
                SPList myListMocked0 = 
                        RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject<SPList>();  //Mock List one
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListCollMocked[0], myListMocked0);
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListMocked0.ID, Guid0);
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListMocked0.BaseType, SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary);

                SPList myListMocked1 = 
                         RecorderManager.CreateMockedObject<SPList>();  //Mock List two
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListCollMocked[1], myListMocked1);
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListMocked1.ID, Guid1);
                recorder.ExpectAndReturn(myListMocked1.BaseType, SPBaseType.GenericList);
            }

            MyObjets target = new MyObjets();
            string SiteUrl = string.Empty;
            string expected = "1";
            string actual;
            actual = target.TestSite(SiteUrl);
            Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
            MockManager.Verify();
        }


If the code arrives in the loop ?foreach? of my method, it gives a ?Object reference not set to an instance of an object.? error. If I stop the run just before the loop, I can see in the Immediate window that I have two Lists as I have mocked them (BaseType DocumentLibrary and GenericList).
Any idea will be very welcome, because I'm not able to see the problem...
Thanks,
Gustavo

Hi.

First, I want to apologize we didn't get to you sooner.

You indeed uncovered a bug :oops:. What happens is that when constructing the mock SPListCollection, something happens that causes the foreach (or GetEnumerator which is actually called) to return null.

What I did instead to pass the test (almost, except the verification exception because ID was not called) was to replace the foreach loop with this code:
SPList myList = myListCol[0];
    if (myList.BaseType == SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary)
        LibraryCounter++;
myList = myListCol[1];
    if (myList.BaseType == SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary)
        LibraryCounter++;


That's right - I broke the foreach into separate calls. Not a nice workaround, but still a workaround.

I'll add this bug to our task list, and give you an update when we fix it.
