Rhino mock an abstract class w/o mocking its virtual method?

Question

Can I execute the body of a virtual method that lives on an abstract class which has been mocked using Rhino Mocks?

To be clear, I\'m not trying to mock the behavior

Answer 1

You need to tell Rhino.Mocks to call back to the original implementation instead of doing its default behavior of just intercepting the call:

var mock = MockRepository.GenerateMock();
mock.Setup(m => m.Foo()).CallOriginalMethod(OriginalCallOptions.NoExpectation);

Now you can call the Foo() method on your mock object.
