Although your design a little bit strange but you can access the generated mock object with mockThing.Object
in your Setup
function:
mockThing.Setup(m => m.HasName()).Returns(() =>
{
return mockThing.Object.Name != null;
});
var thing = mockThing.Object;
var hasName = thing.HasName(); // true because Name returns "test"
thing.Name = null;
hasName = thing.HasName(); // false
The problem is that you are referencing the mockThing
with your lambdas and then you are reasigning it. So both setup will end up using the same instance.
Use the mocks from the dictionary and it will work:
var mocks = new Dictionary<string, IThing>();
Mock<IThing> mockThing;
mockThing = new Mock<IThing>();
mocks["first"] = mockThing.Object;
mockThing.SetupProperty(m => m.Name, "test");
mockThing.Setup(m => m.HasName()).Returns(() =>
{
return mocks["first"].Name != null;
});
mockThing = new Mock<IThing>();
mocks["second"] = mockThing.Object;
mockThing.SetupProperty(m => m.Name, "test");
mockThing.Setup(m => m.HasName()).Returns(() =>
{
return mocks["second"].Name != null;
});
Console.WriteLine(mocks["first"].HasName());
mocks["first"].Name = null;
Console.WriteLine(mocks["first"].HasName());
