Testing method that uses dependency injection (structuremap)

I have got a factory method that create new instances of a certain interface.

I am using StructureMap to create 开发者_高级运维new instances of the interface.

How can I unit test this method?

If you make the factory take an IContainer as a ctor dependency you can stub out the container.

The IContainer should be resolved automatically by Structure Map if you configure Structure Map to instantiate the factory.

Edit:

I was thinking about something like this, taking Structure Map out of the equation when testing:

[Test]
public void ResolvesFooFromContainer()
{
   var expectedFoo = new Foo();
   var container = MockRepository.GenerateStub<IContainer>();
   container.Stub(c => c.GetInstance<Foo>()).Return(foo);
   var factory = new FooFactory(container);

   var createdFoo = factory.CreateFoo();

   Assert.That(createdFoo, Is.EqualTo(expectedFoo));
}

The example uses Rhino Mocks and NUnit, but of course you can test and stub any way you want.

I was finally able to achieve what I wanted.

If you will think about it, you want to perform your test in an isolated environment.

So I just needed to initialise structure with a mock object and I was able to test my factory method.
