[TDD] How do I unit test a Dispose method ?

Donaldson, John #35471 开云体育 Gishu, ? Could you inject a mocked SecureString? Then you can check if the SecureString.Dispose is called. Seems like a good place to use a mock as it’s a “tell” pattern. ? John D. ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: testdrivendevelopment@...

The question is a bit .Net specific. Assuming the simple case, where I have a type which wraps a internal IDisposable member. class Connection { ?? private SecureString password; } SecureString is Disposable. That mandates that Connection should have a Dispose method, which should dispose its members. Options: * To know whether the internal member has been disposed, I'd have to expose it (so that the unit test can see it). Doesn't feel right to me. * The other hack would be to promote it from private to internal + use the InternalVisibleTo path to access it. Does anyone have something better ? Gishu
