I know in the real world it wouldn't make sense to audit for the deletion of an entity that hasn't been saved but...

I'm mocking out the Auditor and wanted to make sure the method "AuditDeleteOfEntity" got called when an entity was deleted.

This works if the entity already exists in the database. So no problem there. But what I really wanted to test is if the method got called without having to really delete something from the database.

So when exactly do you want it to be audited? At which event?

Ok... this works for me when testing to make sure a field change gets audited.

    [Test]
    public void TestFieldSetAuditOfEntity()
    {
        // Intercept calls to the RAMAuditor object
        Mock entityListMock = MockManager.Mock(typeof(RAMAuditor), Constructor.NotMocked);

        // This auditor will now be mocked
        RAMAuditor ramAuditor = new RAMAuditor();

        RIAEntity entityToTest = new RIAEntity();
        entityToTest.AuditorToUse = ramAuditor;

        // When we rename the entity the method AddAuditEntryToList should be called
        entityListMock.ExpectCall("AddAuditEntryToList").Args(entityToTest, RAMAuditor.AuditType.EntityFieldSet, Check.IsAny());

        entityToTest.Name = "*" + entityToTest.Name;

        MockManager.Verify();
    }

Now when I try to do the same for deleting an entity with this

    [Test]
    public void TestDeletionAuditOfEntity()
    {
        // Intercept calls to the RAMAuditor object
        Mock entityListMock = MockManager.Mock(typeof(RAMAuditor),Constructor.NotMocked);

        // This auditor will now be mocked
        RAMAuditor ramAuditor = new RAMAuditor();

        RIAEntity entityToTest = new RIAEntity();
        entityToTest.AuditorToUse = ramAuditor;

        // When we delete an entity the method AddAuditEntryToList with "DeleteOfEntity" should be called.
        entityListMock.ExpectCall("AddAuditEntryToList").Args(entityToTest, RAMAuditor.AuditType.DeleteOfEntity, Check.IsAny());

        _adapter.DeleteEntity(entityToTest);
        MockManager.Verify();
    }

It won't trigger the DeleteOfEntity method UNLESS I replace

RIAEntity entityToTest = new RIAEntity();

with this

RIAEntity entityToTest = new RIAEntity(xx);

Where xx represents a real record inside the database.

Basically I want to know is if the AuditDeleteOfEntity gets called IF the entity is NEW and un-saved.

Thanks, -Luke

No, it's called when the entity is removed from the db. A new entity which is deleted is ignored by the framework anyway as the entity doesn't exist so no call to the DB is made. If an entity which is new and which is marked for deletion is still saved, it won't be saved.

Thanks. What I'll do is create a new test on a dummy table (entity) which basically creates a new record and then deletes it. The test will make sure both calls are made with the appropriate parameters.

Thanks.
