Property	Value
Rule ID	PosInfoMoq2011
Title	Constructor of the mocked class must be accessible.
Category	Compilation
Default severity	Error

Cause

Constructor of the mocked class must be accessible (public, protected or internal)

Rule description

The mocked class must not contain an inaccessible constructor.

[Fact]
public void Test()
{
    var service1 = new Mock<Service>("Hello");                              // The constructor invoked is private.
    var service2 = new Mock<Service>("Argument 1", 2);                      // OK
    var service3 = new Mock<Service>(MockBehavior.Strict, "Argument 1", 2); // OK
}

public abstract class Service
{
    private Service(string a)
    {
    }

    public Service(string a, int b)
    {
    }
}

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, be sure to call a non-private constructor when instantiate a mocked class.

When to suppress warnings

Do not suppress an error from this rule. If bypassed, the execution of the unit test will be failed with a NotSupportedException thrown with the “Parent does not have a default constructor. The default constructor must be explicitly defined.” message.
