SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines .NET unit testing by automating the creation and injection of mock dependencies, significantly reducing boilerplate code and improving test maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-Mocking: Automatically generates NSubstitute mock objects for interface dependencies.
  • Dependency Injection: Seamlessly injects mocks into System Under Test (SUT) constructors.
  • Frozen Instances: Ensures consistent mock instances across test methods using the [Frozen] attribute.
  • Customization: Enables project-wide test configurations through custom AutoDataAttributes.
  • Use Case: When testing a service with multiple interface dependencies, this skill allows you to focus on the test logic by automatically handling the setup of all those dependencies.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-testing-autofixture-nsubstitute-integration skill to automatically mock dependencies for a given .NET service class.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce boilerplate code when mocking dependencies in .NET unit tests?

You can reduce mocking boilerplate by integrating AutoFixture with NSubstitute. This combination automatically generates mock objects for interface dependencies and injects them into your System Under Test constructors.

How does auto-mocking work with AutoFixture and NSubstitute?

Auto-mocking works by using AutoFixture to automatically create NSubstitute mock objects for interface dependencies. These mocks are then seamlessly injected into the constructor of the class you are testing.

How do I ensure the same mock instance is used across multiple test setups in .NET?

You can ensure consistent mock instances across unit tests by using the [Frozen] attribute. This mechanism freezes the generated mock so the exact same instance is reused throughout your test.

Can I apply project-wide test configurations for auto-mocking in .NET?

Yes, you can apply project-wide auto-mocking configurations by creating custom AutoData attributes. This enables consistent test setup and dependency injection behavior across your entire test suite.

Does this auto-mocking approach support testing services with multiple interface dependencies?

Yes, this approach fully supports services with multiple interface dependencies. It handles the setup of all dependencies automatically, allowing you to focus entirely on writing the test logic.
