Mocking SqlConnection, SqlCommand and SqlReader in C# using MsTest

Question

I came across this answer and I\'m interested in implementing the second answer using Fake. Here\'s another one.

I\'m not really understanding all the concepts ther

Answer 1

Target method under test should be refactored to depend on abstractions and not implementation concerns.

For example

public class Data {
    private Func<IDbConnection> Factory { get; }

    public Data(Func<IDbConnection> factory) {
        Factory = factory;
    }

    public IList<Customer> FindAll() {
        using (IDbConnection connection = Factory.Invoke()) {
            const string sql = "SELECT Id, Name FROM Customer";
            using (IDbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand()) {                    
                command.CommandText = sql;

                connection.Open();
                using (IDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) {
                    IList<Customer> rows = new List<Customer>();
                    while (reader.Read()) {
                        rows.Add(new Customer {
                            Id = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("Id")),
                            Name = reader.GetString(reader.GetOrdinal("Name"))
                        });
                    }
                    return rows;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

From there the abstractions can be mocked to behave as expected when unit testing isolation.

[TestClass]
public class DataTests{
    [TestMethod]
    public void Should_Return_Customer() {
        //Arrange
        var readerMock = new Mock<IDataReader>();

        readerMock.SetupSequence(_ => _.Read())
            .Returns(true)
            .Returns(false);

        readerMock.Setup(reader => reader.GetOrdinal("Id")).Returns(0);
        readerMock.Setup(reader => reader.GetOrdinal("Name")).Returns(1);

        readerMock.Setup(reader => reader.GetInt32(It.IsAny<int>())).Returns(1);
        readerMock.Setup(reader => reader.GetString(It.IsAny<int>())).Returns("Hello World");

        var commandMock = new Mock<IDbCommand>();            
        commandMock.Setup(m => m.ExecuteReader()).Returns(readerMock.Object).Verifiable();

        var connectionMock = new Mock<IDbConnection>();
        connectionMock.Setup(m => m.CreateCommand()).Returns(commandMock.Object);

        var data = new Data(() => connectionMock.Object);

        //Act
        var result = data.FindAll();

        //Assert - FluentAssertions
        result.Should().HaveCount(1);
        commandMock.Verify(); //since it was marked verifiable.
    }
}

For integration tests an actual connection to a database can be used to verify functionality

var data = new Data(() => new SqlConnection("live connection string here"));

The same approach would be used in production to connect to the server.
