Re: [NMock2-Dev] Fwd: [TDD] Nmock verify

[Steve M. <Ste...@ty...>]

I've submitted a patch to a major issue that I've come up against, that
I believe covers an open error in the bug list, several times only to
have the patch submission be completely ignored. I gave up sending
information to the lists a long time ago due to this behavior.  I can
understand a patch being rejected, but I got no feedback whatsoever to
my attempts.  This occurred over the course of several months about a
year ago.  The issue still exists.  I don't have time to look up the
exact defect I'm talking about, however, the symptom of the problem I'm
experiencing boils down to the following test:

    	[Test]
	public void MockObjectsCanBeContainedInServiceContainer()
    	{
    		Mockery mockery =3D new Mockery();
    		ServiceContainer container =3D new ServiceContainer();
    		IMockedType mockedType =3D mockery.NewMock(typeof
(IMockedType)) as IMockedType;
    	=09
    		container.AddService(typeof (IMockedType),mockedType);
=20
Assert.AreSame(mockedType,container.GetService(typeof(IMockedType)));
    	}

I have a patch that my company uses that fixes this issue and also
allows for the following functionality:

		[Test]
		public void EventsCanBeRaisedDuringTests()
		{
			m_listenerMessage =3D null;
			Mockery mocks =3D new Mockery();
			Announcer announcer =3D (Announcer)
mocks.NewMock(typeof(Announcer));
		=09
			Expect.Once.On(announcer).EventAdd("Listeners",
new Listener(DummyListener));
		=09
			announcer.Listeners +=3D new
Listener(DummyListener);
		=09
			Fire.Event("Listeners").On(announcer).With("Test
Message");
		=09
			Assert.AreEqual("Test
Message",m_listenerMessage);
		}


Finally,  I have a patch to an issue raise several months ago concerning
Verification of expectations when ordered expectations are used, also a
major problem that remains unpatched to date as far as I can tell.

Just because a project does not have much activity does not mean that
the project is dead, it often means that the project is stable. I am
still actively using NMock on several different projects, and I have yet
to come across any serious issue since the RC was posted perhaps it is
time to bump it up to 1.0.=20

Sorry Mike, but I put my time in on that project and handed it off in =20
the hope it would get looked after. I don't have a .Net environment =20
at the moment so it's hard for me to do serious work. I added the =20
last committer because he needed updates to keep NMock in his project.

The issue is not that NMock uses strings (although c.f. the work that =20
Nat has been doing in jMock), the issue is whether the project is =20
still live and responsive. From the traffic I've seen, many people in =20
the .Net world assume that it's dead.
