Mock lazy interface with Moq

I want mock lazy interface but I got object reference not set to an instance of an object exception.

‌Here is class under test:

public class ProductServiceService : IProductServiceService
{
    private readonly Lazy<IProductServiceRepository> _repository;
    private readonly Lazy<IProductPackageRepository> _productPackageRepository;

    public ProductServiceService(
        Lazy<IProductServiceRepository> repository,
        Lazy<IProductPackageRepository> productPackageRepository)
    {
        _repository = repository;
        _productPackageRepository = productPackageRepository;
    }

    public async Task<OperationResult> ValidateServiceAsync(ProductServiceEntity service)
    {
        var errors = new List<ValidationResult>();

        if (!await _productPackageRepository.Value.AnyAsync(p => p.Id == service.PackageId))
            errors.Add(new ValidationResult(string.Format(NameMessageResource.NotFoundError, NameMessageResource.ProductPackage)));

       .
       .
       .

        return errors.Any()
            ? OperationResult.Failed(errors.ToArray())
            : OperationResult.Success();
    }
}

and here is test class

[Fact, Trait("Category", "Product")]
public async Task Create_Service_With_Null_Financial_ContactPerson_Should_Fail()
{
    // Arrange
    var entity = ObjectFactory.Service.CreateService(packageId: 1);

    var fakeProductServiceRepository = new Mock<Lazy<IProductServiceRepository>>();

    var repo= new Mock<IProductPackageRepository>();
    repo.Setup(repository => repository.AnyAsync(It.IsAny<Expression<Func<ProductPackageEntity, bool>>>()));
    var fakeProductPackageRepository  = new Lazy<IProductPackageRepository>(() => repo.Object);

    var sut = new ProductServiceService(fakeProductServiceRepository.Object, fakeProductPackageRepository);

    // Act
    var result = await sut.AddServiceAsync(service);

    // Assert
    Assert.False(result.Succeeded);
    Assert.Contains(result.ErrorMessages, error => error.Contains(string.Format(NameMessageResource.NotFoundError, NameMessageResource.ProductPackage)));
}

fakeProductPackageRepository always is null. I followed this blog post but still I'm getting null reference exception.

Update: here is a screen that indicates fakeProductPackageRepository is null. 在这里输入图像描述在这里输入图像描述


Here is a refactored version of your example:

[Fact, Trait("Category", "Product")]
public async Task Create_Service_With_Null_Financial_ContactPerson_Should_Fail() {
    // Arrange
    var entity = ObjectFactory.Service.CreateService(packageId = 1);

    var productServiceRepositoryMock = new Mock<IProductServiceRepository>();

    var productPackageRepositoryMock = new Mock<IProductPackageRepository>();
    productPackageRepositoryMock
        .Setup(repository => repository.AnyAsync(It.IsAny<Expression<Func<ProductPackageEntity, bool>>>()))
        .ReturnsAsync(false);

    //Make use of the Lazy<T>(Func<T>()) constructor to return the mock instances
    var lazyProductPackageRepository = new Lazy<IProductPackageRepository>(() => productPackageRepositoryMock.Object);
    var lazyProductServiceRepository = new Lazy<IProductServiceRepository>(() => productServiceRepositoryMock.Object);

    var sut = new ProductServiceService(lazyProductServiceRepository, lazyProductPackageRepository);

    // Act
    var result = await sut.AddServiceAsync(service);

    // Assert
    Assert.False(result.Succeeded);
    Assert.Contains(result.ErrorMessages, error => error.Contains(string.Format(NameMessageResource.NotFoundError, NameMessageResource.ProductPackage)));
}

UPDATE

The following Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example of your stated issue passes when tested.

[TestClass]
public class MockLazyOfTWithMoqTest {
    [TestMethod]
    public async Task Method_Under_Test_Should_Return_True() {
        // Arrange
        var productServiceRepositoryMock = new Mock<IProductServiceRepository>();

        var productPackageRepositoryMock = new Mock<IProductPackageRepository>();
        productPackageRepositoryMock
            .Setup(repository => repository.AnyAsync())
            .ReturnsAsync(false);

        //Make use of the Lazy<T>(Func<T>()) constructor to return the mock instances
        var lazyProductPackageRepository = new Lazy<IProductPackageRepository>(() => productPackageRepositoryMock.Object);
        var lazyProductServiceRepository = new Lazy<IProductServiceRepository>(() => productServiceRepositoryMock.Object);

        var sut = new ProductServiceService(lazyProductServiceRepository, lazyProductPackageRepository);

        // Act
        var result = await sut.MethodUnderTest();

        // Assert
        Assert.IsTrue(result);
    }

    public interface IProductServiceService { }
    public interface IProductServiceRepository { }
    public interface IProductPackageRepository { Task<bool> AnyAsync();}

    public class ProductServiceService : IProductServiceService {
        private readonly Lazy<IProductServiceRepository> _repository;
        private readonly Lazy<IProductPackageRepository> _productPackageRepository;

        public ProductServiceService(
            Lazy<IProductServiceRepository> repository,
            Lazy<IProductPackageRepository> productPackageRepository) {
            _repository = repository;
            _productPackageRepository = productPackageRepository;
        }

        public async Task<bool> MethodUnderTest() {
            var errors = new List<ValidationResult>();

            if (!await _productPackageRepository.Value.AnyAsync())
                errors.Add(new ValidationResult("error"));

            return errors.Any();
        }
    }
}

A Lazy<> as a parameter is somewhat unexpected, though not illegal (obviously). Remember that a Lazy<> wrapped around a service is really just deferred execution of a Factory method. Why not just pass the factories to the constructor? You could still wrap the call to the factory in a Lazy<> inside your implementation class, but then you can just fake / mock your factory in your tests and pass that to your sut .

Or, perhaps the reason that you're passing around a Lazy<> is because you're really dealing with a singleton. In that case, I'd still create a factory and take dependencies on the IFactory<> . Then, the factory implementation can include the Lazy<> inside of it.

Often, I solve the singleton requirement (without the lazy loading) via setting a custom object scope for the dependency in my IoC container. For instance, StructureMap makes it easy to set certain dependencies as singleton or per-request-scope in a web application.

I rarely need to assert that I've done a lazy initialization on some service inside of a system-under-test. I might need to verify that I've only initialized a service once per some scope, but that's still easily tested by faking the factory interface.


The thing is that you are creating a Mock of Lazy as fakeProductServiceRepository and later on are returning that instance where just a Mock is needed.

You should change

var fakeProductServiceRepository = new Mock<Lazy<IProductServiceRepository>>();

to

var fakeProductServiceRepository = new Mock<IProductServiceRepository>();
