I have a really weird behavior which I cannot explain.
I have the following class:
public class Project
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}
And a method which returns a Project
object:
public Project GetByName(string Name)
{
using (ISession session = NHibernateHelper.OpenSession())
{
Project project = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Project))
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("Name", Name))
.UniqueResult<Project>();
return project;
}
}
I have added a Unit Test to test the GetByName
method:
[TestMethod]
public void TestGetByName()
{
IProjectsRepository projectRepository = new ProjectsRepository();
var expected = new Project { Id = 1000, Name = "Project1" };
var actual = projectRepository.GetByName(expected.Name);
Assert.AreEqual<Project>(expected, actual);
}
But when I run the unit test it fails when comparing the type of the two objects with the following error:
Assert.AreEqual failed. Expected:<MyProject.NHibernate.Project>. Actual:<MyProject.NHibernate.Project>.
Why is the assertion failing?
Isn't Assert.AreEqual asserting only on the properties of the objects?
According to the documentation:
See Question&Answers more detail:osAssert.AreEqual Method (Object, Object)
Verifies that two specified objects are equal. The assertion fails if the objects are not equal.
Assert.AreSame Method
Verifies that specified object variables refer to the same object.
