cannot implement setters (Moq)

Question

I have next interface

    public interface IMyInterface
{
    string this[string key] { get; set; }
}

and i want implement get/set in my test

var _Nvp = //...
var mockMyInterface = new Mock<IMyInterface>();
        mockMyInterface
            .Setup(e => e[It.IsAny<string>()])
            .Returns((string key) => _Nvp[key]);

        mockMyInterface
            .SetupSet(c => c[It.IsAny<string>()] = It.IsAny<string>())
            .Callback((string key, string value) => { _Nvp[key] = value; }));

But it does not work.. No errors, no messages..

        var oj = mockMyInterface.Object;
        oj["key"] = "value";
        var value = oj["key"];

Variable value is always null.

What is _Nvp? A dictionary? Have you debugged to see if your setter callback is being called (ie is _Nvp["key"] being set? — GazTheDestroyer, Jun 17 '12 at 13:27

Check out the following SO comment.

It seems there is a limitation on Moq's side resolving c[It.IsAny<string>()] on the SetupSet. It seems to work when specific keys are specified.

In your case you might want to go with a Stub with internal state implementing your interface rather than a mock.
