Hi, I'm new to Azure IoT Hubs and Azure Functions and also new to Unit Testing. Is there any way to do an unit test for azure function using xUnit where I could mock my ServiceClient and RegistryManager objects?

Hello @Muhammad Guruh Ajinugroho , both classes do not implement a base class or interface: public class RegistryManager : IDisposable public class ServiceClient : IDisposable It works with the Factory method design pattern, not with constructors. Thus, writing unit tests will be hard. Although still in preview, please check out Microsoft Azure IoT SDKs for .NET v2 Preview Release It seems this new V2 version better suites your needs: Additionally, all clients can be created using a constructor; factory methods are mostly gone. This enables easier discovery of client initialization as well as unit test mocking. If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". If it doesn't work, please let us know the progress. All community members with similar issues will benefit by doing so. Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Is there any documentations/guides/cases on how we could do the unit test mocking with the SDKs v2 for the RegistryManager and ServiceClient yet?

Hello @Muhammad Guruh Ajinugroho ,

unfortunately, there is no documentation specifically.

You can check out the GitHub repo for more details. You can drop an issue with this as a request.

Hi @LeelaRajeshSayana-MSFT Thanks for the ping. Currently I was able to do the mock unit test but decided to skip for both ServiceClient and RegistryManager because it was out of the test scope. Sorry for the delayed response. I'll close this ticket and accept the answer.
