I've put the "Fake Moq" implementation code I wrote in this Gist. It only has as much as I needed for the codebase I was migrating, but it should be a starting point people might find useful.

@AlbertoMonteiro For better management of this list of issues, may I suggest that this is converted into a repository?

Some items I have discovered which I have not had time to resolve yet are in my repository labelled with 'regex': https://github.com/Creastoff/Moqstitute/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aregex

@waznico do you mind doing a PR on this repo?

This is pretty great. I, however, am pretty terrible with regex and can't come up with one to handle Callback, which is tricky to reliably find.

@jeffputz you can subscribe to the following issue for eventual resolution AlbertoMonteiro/moq-to-nsubstitute#3

I had to add:

  • Find: Mock.Of<(.+?)>\((.*?)\)
  • Replace: Substitute.For<$1>($2)

Be aware of regex. It.Is killed me 😩
Had to use

  • Find: It\.Is< otherwise had too many matches
  • Find: It\.IsAny
