Quick Start

Given you have a system under test and a dependency:

public class SystemUnderTest
{
  public SystemUnderTest(IDependency dependency)
  {
  }
}

public interface IDependency
{
}

When writing your unit test, use the Autofac.Extras.Moq.AutoMock class to instantiate the system under test. Doing this will automatically inject a mock dependency into the constructor for you. At the time you create the AutoMock factory, you can specify default mock behavior:

• AutoMock.GetLoose() - creates automatic mocks using loose mocking behavior.
• AutoMock.GetStrict() - creates automatic mocks using strict mocking behavior.
• AutoMock.GetFromRepository(repo) - creates mocks based on an existing configured repository.

[Test]
public void Test()
{
  using (var mock = AutoMock.GetLoose())
  {
    // The AutoMock class will inject a mock IDependency
    // into the SystemUnderTest constructor
    var sut = mock.Create<SystemUnderTest>();
  }
}
