unit test an attached behavior wpf - wpf

Question

I am still grokking attached behaviors in general, and am at a loss to see how to write a unit test for one.
I pasted some code below from Sacha Barber's Cinch framework that allows a window to be closed via attached behavior. Can somewone show me an example unit test for it?
Thanks!

#region Close
/// <summary>Dependency property which holds the ICommand for the Close event</summary>
public static readonly DependencyProperty CloseProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Close",
typeof(ICommand), typeof(Lifetime),
new UIPropertyMetadata(null, OnCloseEventInfoChanged));
/// <summary>Attached Property getter to retrieve the CloseProperty ICommand</summary>
public static ICommand GetClose(DependencyObject source)
{
return (ICommand)source.GetValue(CloseProperty);
}
/// <summary>Attached Property setter to change the CloseProperty ICommand</summary>
public static void SetClose(DependencyObject source, ICommand command)
{
source.SetValue(CloseProperty, command);
}
/// <summary>This is the property changed handler for the Close property.</summary>
private static void OnCloseEventInfoChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var win = sender as Window;
if (win == null) return;
win.Closing -= OnWindowClosing;
win.Closed -= OnWindowClosed;
if (e.NewValue == null) return;
win.Closing += OnWindowClosing;
win.Closed += OnWindowClosed;
}
/// <summary>
/// This method is invoked when the Window.Closing event is raised.
/// It checks with the ICommand.CanExecute handler
/// and cancels the event if the handler returns false.
/// </summary>
private static void OnWindowClosing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
var dpo = (DependencyObject)sender;
var ic = GetClose(dpo);
if (ic == null) return;
e.Cancel = !ic.CanExecute(GetCommandParameter(dpo));
}
/// <summary>
/// This method is invoked when the Window.Closed event is raised.
/// It executes the ICommand.Execute handler.
/// </summary>
static void OnWindowClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var dpo = (DependencyObject)sender;
var ic = GetClose(dpo);
if (ic == null) return;
ic.Execute(GetCommandParameter(dpo));
}

Answer 1

You would likely use a lambda in your ICommand using a DelegateCommand or a RelayCommand. Multiple implementations of these exists all over the place and Cinch may have something similar. Really simple version (as an example, not meant for production use):
public class DelegateCommand : ICommand {
private Action _execute = null;
public void Execute( object parameter ) {
_execute();
}
public DelegateCommand( Action execute ) {
_execute = execute;
}
#region stuff that doesn't affect functionality
public bool CanExecute( object parameter ) {
return true;
}
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged {
add { }
remove { }
}
#endregion
}
Then your test body might look something like this:
bool wascalled = false;
var execute = new DelegateCommand(
() => {
wascalled = true;
} );
var window = new Window();
SomeClass.SetClose( window, execute );
// does the window need to be shown for Close() to work? Nope.
window.Close();
AssertIsTrue( wascalled );
This is an over-simplified example. There are of course other tests you'll want to perform, in which case you should create or find a fuller implementation of DelegateCommand that also properly implements CanExecute, among other things.

DependencyProperty changing and value coercion on their own looks like 'Impossible Dependencies' for me. Having reference to Window there makes things even trickier. I think I'd go with Humble Object pattern here...
