Unit Testing Registry access with RhinoMocks and SystemWrapper

As mentioned in the previous Unit Test post (Unit Testing Registry access with RhinoMocks and SystemWrapper) it important to be able to Unit Test code that access the registry without really accessing the registry.

Prerequisites

Step 1 – Download SystemWrapper

You may have already done this when reading the previous post, if not do so now.

  1. Go to https://github.com/jozefizso/SystemWrapper and download the latest dll or the latest source or add the SystemWrapper.Interfaces and SystemWrapper.Wrappers By jozef.izso
  2. Copy the SystemInterface.dll and SystemWrapper.dll into your project (perhaps you already have a libs directory).
  3. Add references to these two dlls in your release code.
  4. Add a reference only to SystemInterface.dll in your Unit Test project.

Step 2 – Change your code to use Interfaces and Wrappers

Ok, so here we are going to start with an example. Here is an object that I wrote myself that uses the registry to check on which versions of .NET Framework are installed. It is currently using Registry and RegistryKey directly.

using System;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace SystemInfo
{
    public class DotNetFramework
    {
        #region Constant members
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET11_VERSION        = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322";
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET20_VERSION        = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727";
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET30_VERSION        = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.0";
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET35_VERSION        = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5";
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET40_VERSION_CLIENT = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client";
        public const string REGPATH_DOTNET40_VERSION        = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full";

            {
                return retVal;
            }
        }
    }
}
  1. Find any place in your code where you use touch the system. For example, if you touch the registry, find any place you call Registry or RegistryKey objects or reference Microsoft.Win32.
    Hint: Use the search feature in your IDE.
  2. Replace the reference with a reference to SystemWrapper and SystemInterfaces. For example, if replacingrRegistry code,
    SystemInterface.Microsoft.Win32
    SystemWrapper.Microsoft.Win32In the DotNetFramework.cs file above, there is a using statement to Microsoft.Win32. Our new using statements will be:

    using System;
    using SystemInterface.Microsoft.Win32;
    using SystemWrapper.Microsoft.Win32;
    
  3. For any object that touches the system, change that object to be instantiated using the interface. For example, replace RegistryKey objects with IRegistryKey objects.In the DotNetFramework.cs file, there is only one single line that needs to change to do this, line 113.
    This line…

        RegistryKey localKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(dotNetRegPath);
    

    …changes to this line.

        IRegistryKey localKey = new RegistryWrap().LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(dotNetRegPath);
    

Step 3 – Allow for replacing the IRegistryKey objects

Create a property or function that allows you to replace the object you are mocking so you can pass in an object that is mocked.

This is done for you to some extent for registry access by using the IAccessTheRegistry interface.

  1. Implementing the IAccessTheRegistry interface from the SystemInterface.Microsoft.Win32 namespace. You can add the following code to the DotNetFramework object.
            #region IAccessTheRegistry Members
    
            public IRegistryKey BaseKey
            {
                get
                {
                    if (null == _BaseKey)
                        _BaseKey = new RegistryWrap().LocalMachine;
                    return _BaseKey;
                }
            } private IRegistryKey _BaseKey;
    
            public void ChangeBaseKey(IRegistryKey inBaseKey)
            {
                _BaseKey = inBaseKey;
            }
    
            #endregion
    

    Note: Notice that the Property is read only. Instead of enabling the set ability, a function is created to allow you to change the IRegistryKey instance. This is by design and keeps you from making a mistake such as BaseKey = BaseKey.OpenSubkey(“…”) and replacing the BaseKey.

    Note: You may want to look into the “Factory” design pattern.

  2. Change line 113 to use the BaseKey.
        IRegistryKey localKey = BaseKey.OpenSubKey(dotNetRegPath);
    

Step 4 – Download and Reference RhinoMocks in your Unit Test

You may have already done this when reading the previous post, if not do so now.

In this step you need to download RhinoMocks and reference it with your Unit Test project. If you don’t have a test project, create one.  Your release project won’t need it.

  1. Go to http://hibernatingrhinos.com/open-source/rhino-mocks and download RhinoMocks.
  2. Add RhinoMocks.dll

Step 5 – Mock IRegistryKey in your Unit Test

For this, you have to understand and know how to use RhinoMocks and this takes some learning. For this we need an example.

  1. Add a new class to your test project.
  2. Add a using statement:
    using&nbsp;Rhino.Mocks;
  3. Add code to create the Mock objects.I put these in separate functions because every test needed the exact same code.
    1. Mock the HKLM key and any calls made using it.
    2. Mock the registry sub key and any calls made using it.

                if (null != inSP)
                {
                    // Stubs checking this registry:

                    dotNetMock.Stub(x => x.GetValue("SP")).Return(inSP);
                }
                return dotNetMock;
            }

    I cannot find the systeminterface.dll,can you help me please?

    • Rhyous says:

      I think you have to check out the .NET 4 version and build it. I don't think the main developers of the project have created a release since I made the .NET 4 version and enhanced it some.

      • harlan says:

        Thanks very much.I have got the dll,but when I changed the code like below.
        IRegistryKey localKey = new RegistryWrap().LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(dotNetRegPath);
        there is error as follows.
        Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'SystemWrapper.Microsoft.Win32.IRegistryKeyWrap' to 'SystemInterface.Microsoft.Win32.IRegistryKey'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) C:\VS2012\Unit Tests\MockRegistry\MockRegistry\DotNetFramework\DotNetFramework.cs 120 41 DotNetFramework

        could you please give some tips?

    Nice post. Keep spreading the word about SystemWrapper.
