Unit Test – Moq

By | 04/08/2021

In this post, we will see how to use Moq in order to create Unit Test for a Class Library project used to manage CRUD operations.
But, what is Moq?
Moq is a library used to create mock objects that simulate or mimic a real object.
Here, we can find the Moq project.

First of all, we define the User entity:

[USER.CS]

using System;
 
namespace Domain.Entities
{
    public class User
    {
        public Guid Id { get; set; }
        public string UserName { get; set; }
    }
}



Then, we define the Interface used to define the repository:

[IUSERREPOSITORY.CS]

using Domain.Entities;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
 
namespace Domain.DataAccess.Interfaces
{
    public interface IUserRepository
    {
        List<User> GetAll();
        User GetById(Guid id);
        bool Add(User user);
        bool Delete(Guid id);
        bool Update(User user);
    }
}



Finally, we define the class UserCore used to manage the CRUD operations:

[USERCORE.CS]

    public class UserCore
    {
        private readonly IUserRepository _userRepository;
        public UserCore(IUserRepository userRepository)
        {
            _userRepository = userRepository;
        }
 
        public List<User> GetAllUsers(out string message)
        {
            message = string.Empty;
            List<User> lstUsers = null;
 
            try
            {
                lstUsers = _userRepository.GetAll();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                message = ex.Message;
            }
 
            return lstUsers;
        }
 
        public User GetUserById(Guid id, out string message)
        {
            message = string.Empty;
            User user = null;
 
            try
            {
                user = _userRepository.GetById(id);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                message = ex.Message;
            }
 
            return user;
        }
 
        public bool AddUser(User user, out string message)
        {
            message = string.Empty;
            bool result = false;
            User checkUser = _userRepository.GetAll().Where(x => x.UserName == user.UserName).FirstOrDefault();
 
            if(checkUser!=null)
            {
                message = "UserName already exists!";
                return result;
            }
 
            try

            return result;
        }
 
        public bool UpdateUser(User user, out string message)
        {
            message = string.Empty;
            bool result = false;
            User checkUser = _userRepository.GetAll().Where(x => x.UserName == user.UserName && x.Id!=user.Id).FirstOrDefault();
 
            if (checkUser != null)
            {
                message = "UserName already exists!";
                return result;
            }
 
            try
            {
                result = _userRepository.Update(user);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                message = ex.Message;
            }
 
            return result;
        }
 
        public bool DeleteUser(Guid id, out string message)
        {
            message = string.Empty;
            bool result = false;
            User checkUser = _userRepository.GetById(id);
 
            if (checkUser == null)
            {
                message = "User not exists!";
                return result;
            }
 
            try
            {
                result = _userRepository.Delete(id);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                message = ex.Message;
            }
 
            return result;
        }
    }
}



We have finished to create our Class Library and now, we create an UnitTest project where we will add the library Moq.

Finally, we define the class UnitTest_UserCore where we will create all tests:

[UNITTEST_USERCORE.CS]
