Getting a ServiceClient from XrmFakedContext

[sandeep-chinni]

Carrying on the discussion from here: jordimontana82/fake-xrm-easy#581

@jordimontana82 I am using this newer version, I started the discussion on the above thread as it felt more relevant. I have gone through the wiki links you shared on the previous discussion and I am no closer to solving the issue I am facing, maybe because I am a newbie in the dynamics world.

Here is what my code looks like
` [TestMethod]
public void TestCreateWhenStatusAssignedThenRecordCreated()
{

        Mock<DefaultCrmClientFactory> clientFactory = new(configuration, null);
        IXrmFakedContext context = MiddlewareBuilder
            .New()
            .AddCrud()
            .AddFakeMessageExecutors()
            .UseCrud()
            .UseMessages()
            .SetLicense(FakeXrmEasyLicense.RPL_1_5)
            .Build();

        ServiceClient client = (ServiceClient)context.GetAsyncOrganizationService();
        clientFactory.Setup(x => x.CreateClient()).Returns(client);
        //more code/testing 
   }

`
The problem here is, our implementation needs an instance of ServiceClient(Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client.ServiceClient) which implements the IOrganizationService/2. When I try to the OrganizationService from context and cast it to (ServiceClient), it obviously fails because the cast from interface to concrete object is not possible as stated here:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48773168/using-moq-system-invalidcastexception-unable-to-cast-object-of-type-castle-p

So, how do I solve this issue? All the wikis for this new repo deal only with IOrgnaizationService, I haven't seen one with ServiceClient.

PS: Regarding the license, we are still evaluating if this is the correct tool for us. If we decide it is, we will work on the licensing part.

Thanks!

Hi @sandeep-chinni ,

There's no need to use Moq since ServiceClient already implements IOrganizationService/2. You need to refactor your azure function code to either use IOrganizationService or IOrganizationService2, then pass your ServiceClient instance into those methods. Doing it that way there is no need to cast anything as ServiceClient already implements those interfaces.

WIth FakeXrmEasy you could use IOrganizationService, IOrganizationServiceAsync, or IOrganizationServiceAsync2 interfaces.

Suggest starting with specific documentation about version 3:

A specific section for AzureFunctions: https://dynamicsvalue.github.io/fake-xrm-easy-docs/quickstart/azure-functions/. In there you'll find a repo with sample code.

And how to use the Async interface: https://dynamicsvalue.github.io/fake-xrm-easy-docs/quickstart/advanced/async/

Hope this helps.

Any luck @sandeep-chinni ?

@jordimontana82 Thank you very much for the responses. The sample code does help. I will try and see if reworking our code is an option. I will post an update as soon as I have one. And once again, thank you very much for the prompt feedback and responses!

PS: I am sorry for the delayed response, I called it a day after posting my question.

@sandeep-chinni Great! Glad it was helpful. Feel free to let me know once you get a chance to try it.

Any other questions let me know.

Cheers
