Fake static readonly field on static class

0 votes
Hi,

I am using Isolator v7.0.9.

I would like to know how to fake a static field that is readonly and initialized inline in a static class. I'd prefer not to have to change the field to a property with only a getter just to be able to test the field - bad practice to change your code for unit tests :D

If there isn't a way to do this because it is initialized inline, can I fake it if I move the initialization into a static ctor? Again, not preferable, but...

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

You can easily change a private field value using ObjectState.

For example: 
ObjectState.SetField(typeof(MyType), "myCounter", 42)

While this does work, if the static field was readonly and you change the value in a second test, then the second test does not observe the new value in its test run.
