[QUERY] How to mock GetArmDeployments

[amsoedal]

Library name and version

Azure.ResourceManager.Resources 1.1.0

Query/Question

We're deploying an arm template using the Azure.ResourceManager packages, like so:

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = armClient.GetResourceGroupResource(resourceGroupId);
await resourceGroup.GetArmDeployments().CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, CommonConstants.DeploymentName, content);

However, we're running into issues with unit testing this code, as GetArmDeployments() is a static method which cannot be mocked. Is there any guidance or documentation on how to work around this? I found a similar question here: #28861, and I'm wondering if there's a factory we need to use.

Environment

Windows 10 .NET 6.0
Visual Studio 17.3.0

Mock of current version of mgmt. SDK is still in development phase, I'd suggest that instead of trying to mock extension method, a better way is put this extension method in a none-static method of your class than mock that none-static method

Are there any updates on mocking the mgmt. SDK?

Sorry for the delayed response, we already have an internal discussion about mocking extension methods and now I'm working on it.

+1 to this issue. Would love to be able to mock out these static methods for Azure.ResourceManager.* packages. Is there any update on this @Yao725 ?
