Would you mind checking the download? It doesn't seem to work.

Same for me...

Wow atleast hide the detailed error page !!

Very nice! I can't wait to see more.

If you continue to do these one suggestion would be to try and include, like you did with Do() and LastCall.Constraints, practical examples of how to take advantage of all magic in RhinoMocks.

As always, nice work.

I do appologize in advance if this information is in this first webcast - I'll watch it later tonight. I've been contemplating using RhinoMocks for quite some time - to finally learn how to incorporate mocking into our process of developing. When I approach others I work with I always get hammered with reasons not to use mock objects. One that keeps coming up is how to mock frameworks such as Windows Workflow Foundation. Would you consider covering the topic of mocking large existing frameworks (eg. ASP .Net or WWF)?

Your download is broken.

Exception Details: NHibernate.QueryException: in expected: f [from Feed f where f.Section.Id = :sectionId]

You mention early on that you consider testing webservices / database calls to be integration testing. A lot of what I (and I would imagine pleanty of other people) do centers around getting the stored procs / views set up and ensuring that the right data is being returned, and for those of us not using any kind of OR/M, ensuring that we can do the CRUD from our applications. What would be your suggestion on how to approach this?

Which tool we should use to view? I only can hear... Thanks!

Download works like a charm, screencast is really good. Maybe the next time you should post at what time in the screencast you start coding, so I can jump just there ;-)

One thing I noticed: You always go back to the unit test code after you have changed something and have to run the test again. Are you doing that intentionally for the sake of the screencast or are you unware of Testdrivens "Repeat Test Run" command. I know it took me a couple of month until I discovered it. Know I have a keyboard shortcut for it

@Liang,

You need to install the TSCC plugin (you can find the download link at the download page) and watch it in Windows Media Player

I can't get it to download either. The links in the post go to the same page.. I also have the plugin installed so it can't be that...

Checkout Rhino Commons, it has some nice text fixture stubs in ForTesting that allows you to use SqlCe and SqlLite to do quick "integration testing".

While CRUD testing is important the ORM handles this for you. The only persistence stuff I test is ensuring things like lazy loading and cascades are being handled properly. SqlCe works perfect for that. For the heavier integration tests we let our CI server handle that. Rarely do we find that integration tests fail if all unit tests are passing.

The confusion is about the text "You can watch it here" where "here" is a link.

Naturally, we click "here", but that's just a link to the same page. :)

I really like the video - you did an excelent job of showing how to use RhinoMocks in a (near) real-world scenario. You mentioned how it is common for developers to forget to call ReplayAll() and i think i have a solution to that problem: take advantage of the "using" statement in the language by implementing a couple of new APIs and IDisposable...

using System;

using MbUnit.Framework;

using Rhino.Mocks.Constraints;

namespace Rhino.Mocks.Demo

{

[TestFixture]

public class RhinoMocks101Fixture

{

private MockRepository mockRepository;

private ISmsSender smsSender;

private IUserRepository userRepository;

private User user;

private LoginController loginController;


[SetUp]

public void TestInitialize()

{

  mockRepository = new MockRepository();

  smsSender = mockRepository.CreateMock<ISmsSender>();

  userRepository = mockRepository.CreateMock<IUserRepository>();

  user = CreateUser();


  loginController = new LoginController(smsSender, this.userRepository);

}


[Test]

public void WillSendSMSWhenUserRequestNewPassword()

{

  //nested scopes are not allowed; exception will be thrown

  //calling any mocked API outside of a scope will throw an exception

  using (this.mockRepository.RecordScope())

  {

    Expect.Call(this.userRepository.GetById("sally")).Return(this.user);

    smsSender.SendSms(null, null);

    LastCall.Constraints(Is.Equal(this.user.Phone), Text.StartsWith("New passord:"));

  }


  using (this.mockRepository.PlaybackScope())

  {

    loginController.SendNewPassword(this.user.Name);

  } //disposing of the PlaybackScope will call VerifyAll()


  Assert.AreNotEqual("old", this.user.Password, "expected the password to change");

}

}

}

Great screencast! Btw, what font do you use in visual studio?

Ayende has published an excellent sceencast introduction to Rhino Mocks . If you are at least somewhat
