Summary

  • keep required abstract overrides when method signature types are only accessible from the generated subclass
  • omit those methods from non-derived setup and verification extensions that cannot legally name the types
  • treat unresolved Roslyn error types as inaccessible without aborting generation

Why

gRPC ClientBase<T> uses a protected abstract NewInstance method whose parameter is a protected-internal nested ClientBaseConfiguration. The generated subclass can override that member, but generated static setup APIs in the consumer assembly cannot expose its parameter type. This produced CS0122 and prevented gRPC clients from being mocked.

Tests

  • external gRPC-style protected abstract method and public consumer path
  • nested generic and array parameter types
  • inaccessible return types
  • same-assembly protected nested types
  • generated-output snapshot proving the override remains while its setup API is omitted
  • dotnet test tests/TUnit.Mocks.SourceGenerator.Tests/TUnit.Mocks.SourceGenerator.Tests.csproj --no-restore (360 passed across net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mock source generator now records method signature accessibility and excludes inaccessible methods from generated extensions and typed wrappers. Regression tests cover protected nested types, abstract gRPC-style clients, generated overrides, factories, extensions, and mock helpers.

Tests and snapshots cover inaccessible nested types and generated gRPC-style abstract client mocks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7fdb9

The change can still generate consumer-facing code that fails to compile for methods with inaccessible generic constraints, and it may omit convenience helpers for otherwise accessible overloads. Merge should wait for these filtering paths to be corrected; the remaining test additions are follow-up coverage.

Greptile Summary

The PR separates members that must remain on generated implementations from members that can legally appear on consumer-facing setup surfaces. The generic-constraint fix remains incomplete for interface wrappers.

  • Adds recursive signature accessibility classification for methods, properties, indexers, and events.
  • Filters inaccessible members from primary setup, verification, and event-raising APIs while preserving required overrides.
  • Adds regression tests and a generated-output snapshot for gRPC-style abstract classes.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because an interface method with an inaccessible generic constraint can still make the generated wrapper fail compilation.

The primary setup surface now excludes inaccessible generic constraints, but MockWrapperTypeBuilder independently emits forwarding and generic wrapper declarations for every method without applying the new accessibility flag.

Code review

Reviewed the fix for gRPC-style inaccessible-signature-type mocking (#6634). The core idea — keep the required override in the generated mock impl but omit the public setup/verify extension for members whose signature can't legally be named outside the mock subclass — is sound, and the new Issue6634Tests.cs coverage for the motivating method case (and the IErrorTypeSymbol defensive check) looks correct. CLAUDE.md compliance is clean (snapshot committed as .verified.txt, no VSTest, no blocking async, N/A for dual-mode/AOT since this is source-gen-only compile-time logic).

However, the fix is implemented as a filter bolted onto two call sites in MockMembersBuilder.cs (instanceMethods and WrappedMethods) rather than as a single accessibility gate applied uniformly wherever a member can reach a public generated signature. That's the root cause of three gaps found below — the same bug class (CS0122/CS0246 from naming an inaccessible type in generated public code) resurfaces in three sibling code paths that weren't touched:

1. Properties, indexers, and events get no accessibility protection

MockMemberModel.IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly (Models/MockMemberModel.cs#L75-L85) defaults to true and is only ever computed for methods, in CreateMethodModel. CreatePropertyModel/CreateIndexerModel in MemberDiscovery.cs never set it, and the property/indexer/event extension filters in Builders/MockMembersBuilder.cs#L118-L146 check only IsConfigurableSurfaceProperty/IsIndexer/IsStaticAbstract — no accessibility check at all. So protected abstract State Config { get; } (with State inaccessible) still emits a public PropertyMockCall<State> Config extension → the exact CS0122 this PR sets out to fix, just for properties. Same gap for indexers (Item/SetItem) and events. This is untested — Issue6634Tests.cs only covers methods and constructors.

2. New regression: dangling out/ref setter-delegate reference → CS0246

Builders/MockMembersBuilder.cs#L186-L216: EmitOutRefSetterDelegateNamespace now sources its delegate list from WrappedMethods, which this PR filters on IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly. But MockImplBuilder.EmitOutRefParamAssignments (Builders/MockImplBuilder.cs#L1556-L1585) still emits a reference to that delegate for every method in model.Methods with a non-span ref-struct out/ref parameter, gated only on SupportsClosedRefStructSetter (accessibility-independent). Before this PR the two filters agreed; now a method with one inaccessible parameter and a separate ref-struct out/ref parameter (e.g. protected abstract void Read(State s, ref Buffer b);) has its delegate declaration dropped from WrappedMethods while the impl still references it by name — a new CS0246, not present before this PR.

3. Generic method constraints aren't checked

IsMethodSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly (Discovery/MemberDiscovery.cs#L756-L763) only checks the return type and parameter types. Type parameters are always "accessible" in TypeAccessibility.IsAccessibleFromAssembly regardless of their constraints, but constraint clauses are emitted verbatim into the public extension signature (GetCombinedConstraintClauses in MockMembersBuilder.cs). So protected abstract void Handle<T>(T value) where T : State; (with State inaccessible) still gets a public extension whose where T : State clause triggers CS0122 — again the same bug class, just via a constraint instead of a parameter/return type.

Suggested direction

Rather than patching each of these three sites individually, consider computing one IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly-style predicate that covers everything which can appear in a member's public generated signature (parameter/return types for methods, property/indexer/event types, and generic constraint types), and apply it at a single point — ideally as part of the existing member-accessibility filtering in MemberDiscovery.cs (IsMemberAccessible) rather than as an additional per-call-site .Where() in the builder. That would also keep the out/ref delegate emission automatically in sync instead of requiring a second parallel accessibility check in MockImplBuilder.

All three issues were independently verified against the current code (not just the diff) before being reported here.

Keep signature filtering aligned across members and generated helpers.

Addressed verified review gaps in c06f3c5:

  • generic constraint types now participate in signature accessibility
  • one configurable-method predicate drives emission and convenience-overload collision checks
  • properties and indexers validate return/parameter types
  • inaccessible events omit typed raise APIs and use private implementation raise helpers
  • inaccessible methods no longer emit or reference unusable ref-struct setter delegates
  • direct unresolved-symbol regression covers the IErrorTypeSymbol branch

Added one focused regression per behavior. Full TUnit.Mocks source-generator suite passes: 384/384 across net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0. No snapshot changes.

The requested reflection-mode mock test is not applicable: TUnit.Engine reflection mode is an alternate test-metadata collection path, not an alternate TUnit.Mocks implementation. TUnit.Mocks is compile-time source-generated in both cases, so such a test would execute the same generated code rather than cover a second path.

P1 Interface wrappers bypass constraint filtering

When a mocked generic interface method is constrained to a type inaccessible from the consumer assembly, MockWrapperTypeBuilder emits forwarding and generic wrapper declarations without applying IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly, causing the generated consumer code to fail compilation with an accessibility error such as CS0122.

P2 Badge Exclude hidden methods from secondary-surface collisions

When a multi-type mock's primary class has an inaccessible method such as protected State Get() and an additional interface exposes int Get(), this predicate removes the primary method from the generated member surface, but SecondarySurfaceFactory.CreateContext still adds it to PrimaryMethodNameParams. Consequently, BuildPairModel unnecessarily renames the accessible interface setup to IExtra_Get, even though no primary Get extension exists to conflict with it. Apply the same accessibility predicate when constructing the primary collision context so the secondary API retains its expected name.

Code review

Re-reviewed after the follow-up commit (c06f3c5) addressing the three gaps flagged in the previous review. All three are fixed correctly:

  1. Properties/indexers/events now compute IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly (MemberDiscovery.cs) and the corresponding filters in MockMembersBuilder.cs (memberProps, indexers, IsConfigurableEvent) gate on it — inaccessible-typed members are correctly omitted from the generated surface, verified by the new Inaccessible_Property_Type_..., Inaccessible_Indexer_Types_..., and Inaccessible_Event_Type_... tests.
  2. Dangling out/ref setter-delegateSupportsClosedRefStructSetter now includes IsSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly, and EmitOutRefSetterDelegateNamespace was decoupled from WrappedMethods to iterate model.Methods directly with that same predicate — the same gate MockImplBuilder.EmitOutRefParamAssignments uses. Delegate declaration and delegate reference are now driven by one shared predicate instead of two independently-evolving filters, which is the right fix (not just a patch) since it structurally prevents the two from drifting apart again.
  3. Generic constraint typesIsMethodSignatureAccessibleFromAssembly now walks method.TypeParameters[*].ConstraintTypes, closing the where T : State gap.

Also checked the shared-extraction refactor (IsConfigurableMethod/IsConfigurableEvent helpers replacing duplicated inline filters at each call site) — correctly applied everywhere the old inline checks existed, including the EmitAnyArgsOverload and EmitParamsAnyArgOverload collision-count loops.

No new issues found. CLAUDE.md compliance is clean: no snapshot .received.txt left behind, .verified.txt committed, no VSTest/blocking-async, and dual-mode is correctly N/A since TUnit.Mocks is source-gen-only in both engine modes (confirmed by the author's reply, which matches the codebase — reflection mode is an alternate metadata-collection path, not an alternate mock implementation).
