Mock ContentArea

Hi, currently setting up some unit tests that involve looking at a contentarea of a page and im getting stuck on mocking the contentarea contentareaitems.

// pagetype instance, not loading for repo as just need the end object, not sure if that presents a problem later in test (i.e. when assigning contentarea).

var devPage = PageDataObjects.GetComingSoonDevelopmentPage(TestData.PseudoRandomString(10), ContactConsoleMode.Full);

// blockdata to return

var block = new ImageBlockData{

BlockImage =
new ContentReference(TestData.PseudoRandomInt(1, 100), TestData.PseudoRandomInt(1, 100)),
HoverCaption = TestData.PseudoRandomString(10),
HoverHeading = TestData.PseudoRandomString(10),
TargetUrl = new Url(TestData.PseudoRandomString(10))
};

// Setup the repository to return a start page with a preset property value
repo.Setup(r => r.Get(It.IsAny()))
.Returns(item);

// Setup the service locator to return our mock repository when an IContentRepository is requested
service.Setup(l => l.GetInstance()).Returns(repo.Object);

// Make use of our mock objects throughout EPiServer
ServiceLocator.SetLocator(service.Object);

// new instance of contentareaitem to return

var contentAreaItem = new ContentAreaItem()
{
ContentGroup = "ImageBlockData",
ContentLink =
new ContentReference(TestData.PseudoRandomInt(1, 100), TestData.PseudoRandomInt(1, 100))
};

contentAreaItem.GetContent(this.ContentRepository.Object);

var gallery = new ContentArea();
gallery.Items.Add(contentAreaItem);
devPage.Gallery = gallery;

Not sure if the above is the right approach for this or if im just missing some config / lines, but I get the following error "ClassFactory not initialized" when GetContent is called.

Cheers,

Adam

Ok trying this another way as I only need to mock a specific property of a page, so changed my code to just this:

var devPage = new Mock<DevelopmentPageData>();

devPage.SetupAllProperties();
devPage.Object.SiteItemKey = TestData.PseudoRandomString(20);
devPage.Object.ConsoleMode = ContactConsoleMode.Full;
devPage.Object.DevelopmentState = DevelopmentStates.ComingSoon;

if (isVisible)
{

var contentAreaItem = new ContentAreaItem

{
ContentLink = new ContentReference(TestData.PseudoRandomInt())
};

var gallery = new ContentArea();
gallery.Items.Add(contentAreaItem);

devPage.Setup(x => x.Gallery)
.Returns(gallery);
}

So all i need is for devPage.Gallery (the contentarea property) to return my gallery contentarea object ive setup, trouble is when I try to add contentareaitem on gallery.items.add line i get a structure map error:

Activation error occurred while trying to get instance of type ISecuredFragmentMarkupGeneratorFactory, key ""

Hi Adam,

You need to mock the ContentArea in order to get round that error. The below code worked for me

        if (isVisible)
        {
            var contentAreaItem = new ContentAreaItem
            {
                ContentLink = new ContentReference(TestData.PseudoRandomInt())
            };

            galleryMock = new Mock<ContentArea>();
            galleryMock.Setup(x => x.Items)
                       .Returns(new[] { contentAreaItem });

            var gallery = new ContentArea();
            gallery.Items.Add(contentAreaItem);
            devPage.Setup(x => x.Gallery)
                   .Returns(gallery.Object);
        }

I know this is an old post, but just in case anybody needs the answer there it is.
