AutoFixture is designed to make Test-Driven Development more productive and unit tests more refactoring-safe. It does so by removing the need for hand-coding anonymous variables as part of a test’s Fixture Setup phase. Among other features, it offers a generic implementation of the Test Data Builder pattern.
Let’s say you have a class that has recursion, a person can have a friends property that is a person object.
Autofixture is designed to throw a ThrowingRecursionBehavior to let the developer know that he/she has a circular reference in your code. This is good! Now how to fix this?
The number 1 in the object OmitOnRecursionBehavior represents recursionDepth. This must be greater than 0 or it will throw an exception. Assigning nothing to the OmitOnRecursionBehavior() will take the default which is DefaultRecursionDepth = 1;
That’s all you need! More information can be found on
Happy coding and see you soon!
