Assigning out/ref parameters in Moq

by

For ‘out’, the following seems to work for me.

public interface IService
{
    void DoSomething(out string a);
}

[TestMethod]
public void Test()
{
    var service = new Mock<IService>();
    var expectedValue = "value";
    service.Setup(s => s.DoSomething(out expectedValue));

    string actualValue;
    service.Object.DoSomething(out actualValue);
    Assert.AreEqual(expectedValue, actualValue);
}

I’m guessing that Moq looks at the value of ‘expectedValue’ when you call Setup and remembers it.

For ref, I’m looking for an answer also.

I found the following QuickStart guide useful:
