aweXpect.Testably
Expectations for the file and time system from Testably.Abstractions.
File system
You can verify that a specific file or directory exists in the file system:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.Directory.CreateDirectory("my/path");
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(fileSystem).HasDirectory("my/path");
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt");
File
For files, you can verify the file content:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt").WithContent("some content").IgnoringCase();
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt").WithContent().NotEqualTo("some unexpected content");
You can also verify the file content with regard to another file:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-other-file.txt", "SOME CONTENT");
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-third-file.txt", "some other content");
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt").WithContent().SameAs("my-other-file.txt").IgnoringCase();
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt").WithContent().NotSameAs("my-third-file.txt");
For files, you can verify the creation time, last access time and last write time:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(sut).HasFile(path).WithCreationTime(DateTime.Now).Within(1.Second());
await That(sut).HasFile(path).WithLastAccessTime(DateTime.Now).Within(1.Second());
await That(sut).HasFile(path).LastWriteTime(DateTime.Now).Within(1.Second());
Directory
For directories, you can verify that they contain subdirectories:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.Directory.CreateDirectory("foo/bar1");
fileSystem.Directory.CreateDirectory("foo/bar2/baz");
await That(fileSystem).HasDirectory("foo").WithDirectories(f => f.HasCount().EqualTo(2));
For directories, you can verify that they contain files:
IFileSystem fileSystem = new MockFileSystem();
fileSystem.Directory.CreateDirectory("foo/bar");
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("foo/bar/my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(fileSystem).HasDirectory("foo/bar").WithFiles(f => f.All().ComplyWith(x => x.HasContent("SOME CONTENT").IgnoringCase()));
Drives
You can verify that a drive is registered on the file system. Drives are
matched by name (case-insensitive) against IFileSystem.DriveInfo.GetDrives();
UNC drives (which do not appear in GetDrives()) are not supported by
HasDrive:
MockFileSystem fileSystem = new(o => o.SimulatingOperatingSystem(SimulationMode.Windows));
fileSystem.WithDrive("D:", d => d.SetTotalSize(2048));
await That(fileSystem).HasDrive("D:\\");
await That(fileSystem).DoesNotHaveDrive("Z:\\");
HasDrive exposes a .Which property returning IThat<IDriveInfo>, so all
IDriveInfo assertions can be chained directly:
await That(fileSystem).HasDrive("D:\\")
.Which.HasTotalSize(2048).And.IsReady();
You can also assert directly on IDriveInfo instances:
IDriveInfo driveInfo = fileSystem.DriveInfo.New("D:");
await That(driveInfo).HasAvailableFreeSpace(2048);
await That(driveInfo).HasTotalSize(2048).And.HasTotalFreeSpace(2048);
await That(driveInfo).HasDriveFormat("NTFS");
await That(driveInfo).HasDriveType(System.IO.DriveType.Fixed);
await That(driveInfo).HasName(driveInfo.Name).And.HasVolumeLabel(driveInfo.VolumeLabel);
await That(driveInfo).IsReady();
IFileInfo / IDirectoryInfo as subjects
You can also assert directly on IFileInfo and IDirectoryInfo instances:
IFileInfo fileInfo = fileSystem.FileInfo.New("my-file.txt");
await That(fileInfo).HasLength(12).And.HasContent("some content");
await That(fileInfo).HasName("my-file.txt").And.HasExtension(".txt");
await That(fileInfo).Exists();
IDirectoryInfo dirInfo = fileSystem.DirectoryInfo.New("foo");
await That(dirInfo).IsNotEmpty();
await That(dirInfo).HasFile("bar/my-file.txt");
await That(dirInfo).HasDirectory("bar").Which.HasFile("my-file.txt");
Bridging from the file-system chain via .Which
HasFile, HasDirectory and HasDrive expose a .Which property that returns
the IThat<IFileInfo> / IThat<IDirectoryInfo> / IThat<IDriveInfo> for the
resolved entry, so the same assertions light up in both places:
await That(fileSystem).HasFile("my-file.txt").Which.HasLength(12).And.HasContent("some content");
await That(fileSystem).HasDirectory("logs").Which.IsEmpty();
await That(fileSystem).HasDrive("D:\\").Which.IsReady().And.HasDriveFormat("NTFS");
IFileVersionInfo
IFileVersionInfo instances obtained via MockFileSystem.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo
can be asserted directly. The configured values come from
MockFileSystem.WithFileVersionInfo(glob, builder):
MockFileSystem fileSystem = new();
fileSystem.WithFileVersionInfo("*.dll", v => v
.SetCompanyName("Acme")
.SetProductName("Anvil")
.SetFileVersion("1.2.3.4")
.SetIsDebug(true));
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("Acme.dll", "");
IFileVersionInfo info = fileSystem.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("Acme.dll");
await That(info).HasCompanyName("Acme").And.HasProductName("Anvil");
await That(info).HasFileVersion("1.2.3.4");
await That(info).IsDebug().And.IsNotPreRelease();
The following common fields have dedicated assertions:
HasCompanyName, HasProductName, HasFileDescription, HasFileVersion,
HasProductVersion, HasOriginalFilename, HasLanguage, plus the bool pairs
IsDebug / IsNotDebug, IsPreRelease / IsNotPreRelease,
IsPatched / IsNotPatched. For the remaining properties (e.g. Comments,
LegalCopyright, FileMajorPart), assert on them directly via
await That(info.LegalCopyright).IsEqualTo("…").
Notifications
A MockFileSystem raises notifications when files or directories change. Run
the code under test, then assert against the notifications it produced:
MockFileSystem fileSystem = new();
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(fileSystem).TriggeredNotification();
await That(fileSystem).TriggeredNotification(c => c.Name == "my-file.txt");
.Within(timeout) (default 30 s) lets the assertion wait for asynchronous
notifications — if a matching notification already fired the assertion
completes synchronously, otherwise it waits up to the timeout for a late
arrival:
_ = Task.Run(() => fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("foo.txt", "x"));
await That(fileSystem).TriggeredNotification().Within(100.Milliseconds());
DidNotTriggerNotification mirrors the same shapes and short-circuits as soon
as a matching notification is observed:
await That(fileSystem).DidNotTriggerNotification().Within(100.Milliseconds());
await That(fileSystem).DidNotTriggerNotification(c => c.Name == "secret.txt");
TriggeredNotification accepts a Quantifier (AtLeast, AtMost, Exactly,
Between, Never, Once) so you can assert how often the notification fires:
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("a.txt", "x");
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("b.txt", "y");
await That(fileSystem).TriggeredNotification(c => c.ChangeType == WatcherChangeTypes.Created)
.Exactly(2.Times());
Both TriggeredNotification and DidNotTriggerNotification expose
.Which(c => …), which applies inner expectations from ChangeDescriptionExtensions
as an additional per-notification filter — only changes that satisfy them count:
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("a.txt", "x");
await That(fileSystem)
.TriggeredNotification()
.Which(c => c.HasName("a.txt").And.HasChangeType(WatcherChangeTypes.Created))
.Exactly(1.Times());
Replay of historical notifications relies on the
MockFileSystemnotification history. Disable it vianew MockFileSystem(o => o.WithoutNotificationHistory())only if you don't use these assertions — they throw against a history-disabled file system.
Watcher events
An individual IFileSystemWatcher can also be the subject. The watcher must
come from a MockFileSystem, and EnableRaisingEvents must be true for any
event to be observed:
MockFileSystem fileSystem = new();
using IFileSystemWatcher watcher = fileSystem.FileSystemWatcher.New("/");
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("my-file.txt", "some content");
await That(watcher).Triggered();
await That(watcher).Triggered(c => c.Name == "my-file.txt");
Only events that originate from this specific watcher count — events fired on
other watchers of the same MockFileSystem are ignored.
.Within(timeout) (default 30 s) lets the assertion wait for asynchronous
events:
_ = Task.Run(() => fileSystem.File.WriteAllText("foo.txt", "x"));
await That(watcher).Triggered().Within(100.Milliseconds());
DidNotTrigger mirrors the same shapes and short-circuits as soon as a
matching event is observed:
await That(watcher).DidNotTrigger().Within(100.Milliseconds());
await That(watcher).DidNotTrigger(c => c.Name == "secret.txt");
Both Triggered and DidNotTrigger accept either a synchronous
Func<WatcherChangeDescription, bool> predicate or a .Which(c => …) callback
that composes inner expectations from ChangeDescriptionExtensions:
await That(watcher)
.Triggered()
.Which(c => c.HasName("my-file.txt").And.HasChangeType(WatcherChangeTypes.Created))
.Exactly(1.Times());
ChangeDescription as a subject
Individual ChangeDescription instances can be asserted directly. The
HasChangeType, HasFileSystemType and HasNotifyFilters assertions use flag
containment (so a LastWrite | FileName change satisfies
HasNotifyFilters(NotifyFilters.LastWrite)); the empty / default value is
rejected with an ArgumentException to avoid silent passes.
await That(change).HasChangeType(WatcherChangeTypes.Created);
await That(change).DoesNotHaveChangeType(WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted);
await That(change).HasFileSystemType(FileSystemTypes.File);
await That(change).HasNotifyFilters(NotifyFilters.LastWrite);
await That(change).HasName("my-file.txt").And.HasPath("/abs/my-file.txt");
await That(renamedChange).HasOldName("old.txt").And.HasOldPath("/abs/old.txt");
Time system
Timers
A MockTimeSystem exposes timers as ITimerMock. You can assert how often the
timer callback was executed without blocking the test thread:
MockTimeSystem timeSystem = new();
ITimerMock timer = (ITimerMock)timeSystem.Timer.New(
_ => { }, null, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10));
await That(timer).Executed(3.Times()).Within(5.Seconds());
Executed() accepts a Quantifier (AtLeast, AtMost, Exactly,
Between, …) and exposes .Within(timeout) for asynchronous execution. The
assertion polls ITimerMock.ExecutionCount until the quantifier is satisfied
or the timeout expires — 30 seconds by default.
await That(timer).Executed().AtLeast(2.Times()).Within(100.Milliseconds());
