This is probably the most basic usage of a mocking framework, which is to simply verify a method call. One of the things that is a bit confusing when looking at a statement in a test that uses a lambda is to realize that the code you are seeing in the assertion is not actually executing. So when you see a statement like this:
mockFileWriter.Verify(fw => fw.WriteLine("1001,10.53"), Times.Exactly(1));
The lambda inside of the “Verify” method:
fw => fw.WriteLine("1001,10.53")
Is being turned into an expression tree and then analyzed by Moq, not actually being executed. Whether or not you understand what I mean by that, what you need to understand is that we are merely telling Moq what to look for, not running any code.
