Mock IDocumentQuery with ability to use query expressions - linq

Question

I need to be able to mock IDocumentQuery, to be able to test piece of code, that queries document collection and might use predicate to filter them:
IQueryable<T> documentQuery = client
.CreateDocumentQuery<T>(collectionUri, options);
if (predicate != null)
{
documentQuery = documentQuery.Where(predicate);
}
var list = documentQuery.AsDocumentQuery();
var documents = new List<T>();
while (list.HasMoreResults)
{
documents.AddRange(await list.ExecuteNextAsync<T>());
}
I've used answer from https://stackoverflow.com/a/49911733/212121 to write following method:
public static IDocumentClient Create<T>(params T[] collectionDocuments)
{
var query = Substitute.For<IFakeDocumentQuery<T>>();
var provider = Substitute.For<IQueryProvider>();
provider
.CreateQuery<T>(Arg.Any<Expression>())
.Returns(x => query);
query.Provider.Returns(provider);
query.ElementType.Returns(collectionDocuments.AsQueryable().ElementType);
query.Expression.Returns(collectionDocuments.AsQueryable().Expression);
query.GetEnumerator().Returns(collectionDocuments.AsQueryable().GetEnumerator());
query.ExecuteNextAsync<T>().Returns(x => new FeedResponse<T>(collectionDocuments));
query.HasMoreResults.Returns(true, false);
var client = Substitute.For<IDocumentClient>();
client
.CreateDocumentQuery<T>(Arg.Any<Uri>(), Arg.Any<FeedOptions>())
.Returns(query);
return client;
}
Which works fine as long as there's no filtering using IQueryable.Where.
My question:
Is there any way to capture predicate, that was used to create documentQuery and apply that predicate on collectionDocuments parameter?

Answer 1

Access the expression from the query provider so that it will be passed on to the backing collection to apply the desired filter.
Review the following
public static IDocumentClient Create<T>(params T[] collectionDocuments) {
var query = Substitute.For<IFakeDocumentQuery<T>>();
var queryable = collectionDocuments.AsQueryable();
var provider = Substitute.For<IQueryProvider>();
provider.CreateQuery<T>(Arg.Any<Expression>())
.Returns(x => {
var expression = x.Arg<Expression>();
if (expression != null) {
queryable = queryable.Provider.CreateQuery<T>(expression);
}
return query;
});
query.Provider.Returns(_ => provider);
query.ElementType.Returns(_ => queryable.ElementType);
query.Expression.Returns(_ => queryable.Expression);
query.GetEnumerator().Returns(_ => queryable.GetEnumerator());
query.ExecuteNextAsync<T>().Returns(x => new FeedResponse<T>(query));
query.HasMoreResults.Returns(true, true, false);
var client = Substitute.For<IDocumentClient>();
client
.CreateDocumentQuery<T>(Arg.Any<Uri>(), Arg.Any<FeedOptions>())
.Returns(query);
return client;
}
The important part is where the expression passed to the query is used to create another query on the backing data source (the array).
Using the following example subject under test for demonstration purposes.
public class SubjectUnderTest {
private readonly IDocumentClient client;
public SubjectUnderTest(IDocumentClient client) {
this.client = client;
}
public async Task<List<T>> Query<T>(Expression<Func<T, bool>> predicate = null) {
FeedOptions options = null; //for dummy purposes only
Uri collectionUri = null; //for dummy purposes only
IQueryable<T> documentQuery = client.CreateDocumentQuery<T>(collectionUri, options);
if (predicate != null) {
documentQuery = documentQuery.Where(predicate);
}
var list = documentQuery.AsDocumentQuery();
var documents = new List<T>();
while (list.HasMoreResults) {
documents.AddRange(await list.ExecuteNextAsync<T>());
}
return documents;
}
}
The following sample tests when an expression is passed to the query
[TestMethod]
public async Task Should_Filter_DocumentQuery() {
//Arrange
var dataSource = Enumerable.Range(0, 3)
.Select(_ => new Document() { Key = _ }).ToArray();
var client = Create(dataSource);
var subject = new SubjectUnderTest(client);
Expression<Func<Document, bool>> predicate = _ => _.Key == 1;
var expected = dataSource.Where(predicate.Compile());
//Act
var actual = await subject.Query<Document>(predicate);
//Assert
actual.Should().BeEquivalentTo(expected);
}
public class Document {
public int Key { get; set; }
}
