Problematic unit test

[Test, Isolated]
        public void PublishToExternalDocumentLibrary_Calls_CopyTo_Correctly()
        {
            ApprovalWorkflow approvalWorkflow = Isolate.Fake.Instance<ApprovalWorkflow>(Members.CallOriginal, ConstructorWillBe.Called);
            SPWorkflowActivationProperties activationProperties = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPWorkflowActivationProperties>(Members.CallOriginal, ConstructorWillBe.Called);
            SPListItem item = Isolate.Fake.Instance<SPListItem>();

            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => approvalWorkflow.PublishWhenComplete).WillReturn(true);
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => approvalWorkflow.PublishDocumentLibraryUrl).WillReturn(ExternalDocumentLibraryUrl);
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => approvalWorkflow.WorkflowActivationProperties).WillReturn(activationProperties);
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => activationProperties.Item).WillReturn(item);
           
            Isolate.WhenCalled(() => item.Name).WillReturn("test.docx");
           
            // Fire the workflow completed event
            Isolate.Invoke.Event(() => approvalWorkflow.Completed += null, new object[] { this, EventArgs.Empty });

            Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithExactArguments(() => item.CopyTo("http://xdev03.trading.ad.int.corp.local/Policies/test.docx"));
        } 

When executed it throws the following exception:

System.NotSupportedException: Cannot dynamically create an instance of System.Void.

Fix:
I can work around this issue by replacing the line:

Isolate.WhenCalled(() => activationProperties.Item).WillReturn(item);

With:

Isolate.NonPublic.WhenCalled(activationProperties, "get_Item").WillReturn(item);

Here’s an example taken from their introduction article:

[TestMethod]
[Isolated]
public void RepositoryAdd_FakeSPServer_PropertiesAreSetWithCorrectArguments()
{
  var fakeWeb  = Isolate.Fake.Instance(Members.ReturnRecursiveFakes);
  var fakeUser = fakeWeb.SiteUsers.GetByID(1);
  var fakeItem = fakeWeb.Lists[""].Items.Add();

  Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeItem[0]).WillReturn(1);

  Registration registration = new Registration(){
          CourseId=1234,
          RegistrationStatus = "Pending",
          Title="UnitTest",
          UserId = 100
      };

  RegistrationRepository repository = new RegistrationRepository();
  int id = repository.Add(registration, false, fakeWeb);

  Assert.AreEqual(1, id);
  Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithExactArguments(()=> fakeItem[Fields.Title] = "UnitTest");
  Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithExactArguments(()=> fakeItem[Fields.UserId]= 100);
  Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithExactArguments(()=> fakeItem[Fields.User]= fakeUser);
  Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithExactArguments(()=> fakeItem[Fields.Status]= "Pending");
}
 

Anyhow… It’s now pretty straight forward to make a unit test execute under both IE and firefox

[Test]
public void SearchForWatiNOnGoogleVerbose()
{
    using (IBrowser ie = BrowserFactory.Create(BrowserType.InternetExplorer))
    {
        ie.GoTo("http://www.google.com");
        ie.TextField(Find.ByName("q")).Value = "WatiN";
        ie.Button(Find.ByName("btnG")).Click();
        Assert.IsTrue(ie.ContainsText("WatiN"));
    }

    using (IBrowser firefox = BrowserFactory.Create(BrowserType.FireFox))
    {
        firefox.GoTo("http://www.google.com");
        firefox.TextField(Find.ByName("q")).Value = "WatiN";
        firefox.Button(Find.ByName("btnG")).Click();
        Assert.IsTrue(firefox.ContainsText("WatiN"));
    }
}

It’s also quite trivial to collapse these two using constructs into a single chunk of code for better maintainability etc..
