AutoFixture 在复杂对象中创建不需要的深度

Question

我有一个来自 EF6（数据库优先）的复杂图表，我想在测试域模型时使用模拟和测试装置进行模拟。为了防止循环依赖问题，我将这些行添加到测试设置中：

private Fixture _fixture;
public WhenRetrievingPlans()
{
    _fixture = new Fixture();
    _fixture.Behaviors.OfType<ThrowingRecursionBehavior>().ToList()
                            .ForEach(b => _fixture.Behaviors.Remove(b)); 
    _fixture.Behaviors.Add(new OmitOnRecursionBehavior());
    using (var writer = new StreamWriter(@"D:\Workspace\Project\source\Project.Model.Test\trace.txt"))
    {
        _fixture.Behaviors.Add(new TracingBehavior(writer));

然后我尝试阻止夹具尝试将对象图追至遗忘，并创建一个没有任何子对象的简单对象，如下所示：

        _fixture.Build<EntityType>()
            .Without(e => e.ObjectProperty1)
            .Without(e => e.ObjectProperty2)
            .Without(e => e.CollectionProperty3)
            .Without(e => e.CollectionProperty4)
            .Without(e => e.ObjectProperty5)
            ...
            .Create();

这样就不会创建作为此 EntityType 属性的对象或集合。其余属性是简单类型，包括一些 Nullable 和 DateTime 值以及 Int32 和 String 类型。

我想让 AutoFixture 创建 EntityType 的实例，然后我计划从模拟返回该实例。（这可能不相关。）

        var entitiesDbSetMock = new Mock<IDbSet<EntityType>>();
        entitiesDbSetMock.SetupAllProperties();
        _fixture.Inject<IDbSet<EntityType>>(entitiesDbSetMock.Object);

然后我将对象添加到这个 Mock 中：

        var entity = _fixture.Create<EntityType>();
        entitiesDbSetMock.Object.Attach(entity);

问题是这样的：AutoFixture 并没有阻止自己生成可以从此 EntityType 访问的每个可能的对象，即使使用了.Without()我使用的所有操作。我怎么知道？因为我开启了追踪功能。仅对于这一个创建操作，就生成了近 750,000 行跟踪（这是一个 100MB 的文件）。

在阅读跟踪时，第一部分显示了 EntityType 的创建以及我未排除的所有属性的设置。但是在该东西被创建之后，它似乎又被创建了，但这一次它忽略了我的Without()自定义，并且深入。

就在那里，我希望跟踪能够完成。对象被创建了，正是我想要的。但它并不止于此。紧接着，我看到 AutoFixture 继续运行。

当然，这个东西可能有各种代码味道，而且我知道 Mark Seemann 对 EF 或任何其他 ORM 并不感兴趣。但我认为它应该有效，而且我不知道我错过了什么。

Answer 1

现在，我更仔细地查看了这些示例，以便回答 Mark 的评论（谢谢你，Mark！！）...我看到 Build 方法有一个 T 类型的返回值。（拍拍额头）。

所以现在我发现我认为 Build 所做的事情是错误的。它实际上在那里实例化了一个 T 。我怀疑我需要做的（创建模板）是扩展 SpecimenBuilder 并以某种方式注册它，方法是将其添加到设置夹具的自定义/自定义序列中。

马克，如果你想留下更好的答案，我会等一两天，然后选择你的答案作为正确答案。
