c# - 您如何在 C# 中模拟文件系统以进行单元测试？

Question

是否有任何库或方法可以在 C# 中模拟文件系统来编写单元测试？在我目前的情况下，我有一些方法可以检查某个文件是否存在并读取创建日期。将来我可能需要更多。

编辑:安装 NuGet 包 System.IO.Abstractions .

最初接受此答案时，此包不存在。为以下历史背景提供了原始答案:

You could do it by creating an interface:

interface IFileSystem {
    bool FileExists(string fileName);
    DateTime GetCreationDate(string fileName);
}

and creating a 'real' implementation which usesSystem.IO.File.Exists() etc. You can then mock this interface using amocking framework; I recommend Moq.

Edit: somebody's done this and kindly posted it online here.

I've used this approach to mock out DateTime.UtcNow in an IClockinterface (really really useful for our testing to be able to controlthe flow of time!), and more traditionally, an ISqlDataAccessinterface.

Another approach might be to use TypeMock, this allows you tointercept calls to classes and stub them out. This does however costmoney, and would need to be installed on your whole team's PCs andyour build server in order to run, also, it apparently won't work forthe System.IO.File, as it can't stub mscorlib.

You could also just accept that certain methods are not unit testableand test them in a separate slow-running integration/system testssuite.
