How do you unit test a mail sending function

Question

I have a function which creates a report and sends it to a user. What I\'ve done is create a mock for the email function, and verify if the \'send\' function of the email class

Answer 1

In your unit test tell your mocking framework to expect a call to Send() with a specific body text.

Example for Rhino Mocks:

var mockMail = MockRepository.GenerateMock();
mockMail.Expect( m => m.Send("ExpectedFrom", "ExpectedTo", "ExpectedSubject", "ExpectedBodytext") );

mockMail.Send(...whatever...);

mockProvider.VerifyAllExpectations();
