Hi,
Can you be more precise. When to expect mocking mscorlib types?

[richard]

Hi,
This is still in the works .
What types would you like to mock, perhaps we can mock these first?

Thank you for the reply Richard.

I'm trying to mock StreamWriter.

I will add this to our list.

We used the following technique when our tests need to mock Streams.

What we did was to change the file that was being opened and we pointed to another file.

We did this by having a Property with the filename and mocking the property.
e.g. We want to see how we behave with a non existing file

Thanks for the help.

Hi stephan

Unfortunately DateTime is part of the mscorlib
As richard wrote mocking mscorlib is still in the works.
Don't lose your hope!

although DateTime.Now cannot be mocked there is a workaround.

You can define the following static property in your code.

Hi Scott,

But does this mean that in the code that I am testing, I will need to use the DataUtils class instead of the DateTime class? If so, that's not very desirable.

Since your post was made over a year ago, has there been a change on whether the mscorlib types be supported for mocking?
