If you use NHibernate then AutoMapping collections are done by AliasToBeanTransformer :)

cowgar,

1. TaskServiceImpl was a typo, nice spotting :)

2. I generally give repositories and services short names when they are injected into other classes, e.g. calling the ITaskService simply ‘tasks’. Generally that is all that is required to explain its purpose within the context of the caller.

3. It is to assert that TaskService.GetCurrentTasks() performs a call to this method from the repository:

public interface ITaskRepository { IEnumerable GetAll(); }

Sorry I didn’t show the ITaskRepository as part of my example.

shouldn’t service.GetCurrentTasks(); be:
this.tasks = service.GetCurrentTasks();

and I have a problem with:
repository.Verify(r => r.GetAll());

Care to elaborate what MOQ will do? Can’t get this test at all :D

TaskServiceImpl should be TaskService, you probably forgot to rename a constructor…

John,

We originally started doing it like that, but found it became a pain to set up when the class mapping in question used custom IValueResolvers and/or ITypeConverters. It was simpler to mock out the entire automapper than all the individual dependencies.

I see what you’re doing with mocking the IMappingEngine… I actually wired up StructureMap to actually use the real IMappingEngine in my unit tests. I feel like it’s made my tests much easier to read and write because I don’t have to write a separate test for the translation and another test for the thing that uses the translation.

Not to say what you’re doing it wrong though, by any means.
