Using

• Find: using Moq;

• Replace: .Get<(.+?)>()

Suggestion on a replacement for ReturnsAsync and ThrowsAsync?

Just return Task.FromResult and you will be fine

I've been writing some looks like Moq extension methods for one of my codebases to make it less burdensome to migrate. This might help you @jamescanady:

using System.Linq.Expressions;
using NSubstitute.Core;
using NSubstitute.ExceptionExtensions;

namespace NSubstitute;

/// <summary>
/// This class acts as a bridge from Moq to NSubstitute to allow it to be removed without too much code churn.
/// </summary>
public static class NSubstituteExtensions
{
    public static ConfiguredCall ReturnsAsync<T>(this Task<T> value, T returnThis, params T[] returnThese)
    {
        var task = Task.FromResult(returnThis);
        var tasks = Array.Empty<Task<T>>();

        if (returnThese?.Length > 0)
        {
            tasks = returnThese.Select((p) => Task.FromResult(p)).ToArray();
        }

        return value.Returns(task, tasks);
    }

    public static ConfiguredCall ThrowsAsync<T>(this Task<T> value, Exception exception)
    {
        return value.Throws((_) => throw exception);
    }
}

I'm still working on it, so not fully tested yet as it's still a WIP.

This is great stuff. Thank you!

@AlbertoMonteiro I have checked for a license on this gist but could not see one - if you add one I will review the usage in the repo. I have also added you as a collaborator to the repo.

Amazing job @Creastoff.
About the license, idk how to add it on a gist, if I discover how to it will be MIT license

@AlbertoMonteiro I'm afraid I cannot offer any advice on that - it was just in case you did not wish for this to be used in public tooling. As you have stated you would add an MIT license I will not review the usage in the repo.

(In case you can't tell, I have no idea what licenses are available besides MIT & GNU)

@Creastoff I've done a small research and I added the comment in the file also added MIT description as other file in this gist

@AlbertoMonteiro thanks for your work.
In my case I also had to do the following (maybe you could add it to the gist?):

Mock Object

• Find: \.Object[,]
• Replace: ,
• Find: \.Object[\)]
• Replace: )
• Find: \.Object[\.]
• Replace: .

Returns

• Find: \.ReturnsAsync\((\.?.+?)\)
• Replace .Returns(Task.FromResult($1))

Exceptions

• Find: \.ThrowsAsync\((\.?.+?)\)
• Replace .Returns(Task.FromException($1))
• Find: \.Throws\((\.?.+?)\)
• Replace .Returns($1)

Setup

• Find: \.As<IQueryable<(\.?.+?)>>\((\.?.+?)\)
• Replace .AsQueryable<$1>($2)

I've put the "Fake Moq" implementation code I wrote in this Gist. It only has as much as I needed for the codebase I was migrating, but it should be a starting point people might find useful.

@AlbertoMonteiro For better management of this list of issues, may I suggest that this is converted into a repository?

Some items I have discovered which I have not had time to resolve yet are in my repository labelled with 'regex': https://github.com/Creastoff/Moqstitute/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aregex

@waznico do you mind doing a PR on this repo?

This is pretty great. I, however, am pretty terrible with regex and can't come up with one to handle Callback, which is tricky to reliably find.

@jeffputz you can subscribe to the following issue for eventual resolution AlbertoMonteiro/moq-to-nsubstitute#3

I had to add:

• Find: Mock.Of<(.+?)>\((.*?)\)
• Replace: Substitute.For<$1>($2)

Be aware of regex. It.Is killed me 😩
Had to use

• Find: It\.Is< otherwise had too many matches
• Find: It\.IsAny
