Revisit RSCG_Static

In 2023 I have created RSCG_Static as a way to mock static methods from classes ( think DateTime, Environment, Process) . From that time , the interfaces in C# have gained static keyword – so  –  a little improvement seems necessary .

However, how can you mock a static method from a interface ? The answer is below ….

Let’s start with DateTime.Now ( yes, I know about TimeProvider , but this is not the point) .

I have the following code

public Type GenerateInterfaceFromDate()=>typeof(DateTime);

And I can use a static implementation

public class DateTimeTest : IDateTime
{
    public static DateTime Now => new DateTime(1970,4,16);

And the code will be

var time = IDateTime.GetNow<DateTimeTest>();
Console.WriteLine(time.ToString());
time= IDateTime.GetNow<DateTimeImplDefault>();
Console.WriteLine(time.ToString());
