I have been giving the AutoMocker that is part of StructureMap 2.5 a go lately.  Today I was trying to setup my test and I get running into the following error:

failed: StructureMap.StructureMapException: StructureMap Exception Code: 230
Cannot call "FillDependencies" on type IGatheringPipeline. Check that the type is concrete and has no primitive arguments

Everything looked right and I knew i could create my objects directly via the ObjectFactory method, but I just could not figure out what was wrong.  My 'bad' code is below.

[TestMethod]
public void IsSynchronizationNeeded_EnsureHitsRepository()
{
    var pipelineMocker = new RhinoAutoMocker<IGatheringPipeline>();

    pipelineMocker.Get<iRepository>().Expect( x => x.DataNeedsSynchrnoization() ).Return( true ).Repeat.Once();
    
    var isSynchronizationNeeded = pipelineMocker.ClassUnderTest.IsSynchronizationNeeded();

    Assert.AreEqual( true, isSynchronizationNeeded );

}

After staring at the code and taking another look at its intent it dawned on me what the issue was.  I was creating the automocker with an interface and I wanted to call methods on that interface and actually have the logic execute.  In order to get this to work I simply needed to change my class in the auto mocker to the concrete.

[TestMethod]
public void IsSynchronizationNeeded_EnsureHitsRepository()
{
    // Using the Concrete here
    var pipelineMocker = new RhinoAutoMocker<GatheringPipeline>();

    pipelineMocker.Get<iRepository>().Expect( x => x.DataNeedsSynchrnoization() ).Return( true ).Repeat.Once();
    
    var isSynchronizationNeeded = pipelineMocker.ClassUnderTest.IsSynchronizationNeeded();

    Assert.AreEqual( true, isSynchronizationNeeded );

}

After I changed my test to use the code above everything worked out well. 

Hope this helps,

Till next time,
