DateTime object in Class Constructor Argument List Generated and Invalid Test Format

[JimKay1941]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: [example 2017 Community]
• This extension: [example 1.5.2]

Description

I have a class, Student with a constructor having a DateTime object in the argument list.

The extension created these statements: private Mock mockDateTime; mockDateTime = mockRepository.Create();

Steps to recreate

1. Create a simple Class with DateTime as an object in the argument list.
2. Create a test for the Class
3. The above error(s) will appear. "the type 'DateTime' must be a reference type in order to use it as a parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'mockfactory.create()'" "the type "System.DateTime" must be a reference type in order to use it as parameter 'T'"

   Current behavior

   The generated statements cannot be copiled.

Expected behavior

Put DateTime directly in the argument list and do not attempt to use moq.

It seem your system is editing out > and < so I will have to resubmit them. private Mock<DateTime> mockDateTime; this.mockDateTime = this.mockRepository.Create<DateTime>();

Thanks for the report. Some types are not mockable, in this case DateTime. You'll need to create and inject it yourself. If I made a change here it would be to detect that DateTime is a non-mockable struct and insert "TODO" instead.

Indeed, I have already done the inject myself.

I was only suggesting you make the change to detect DateTime as non-mockable.

Thanks again for the reply and for your extension! It really helps me.

Fixed in 1.5.10. We no longer try to make mock objects out of non-reference types.
