Mercurial / hg-git / Github Setup Link

This is just so I don't forget or lose it: this post has probably the best guide to getting TortoiseHg set up as a github client on Windows:

james mckay dot net - TortoiseHg as a github client on Windows

Apparently I don't know how to use Google, because I always struggle to find this.

UPDATE:
Be careful not to wrap the hggit extension path in quotes in the mercurial config file *even if the path has a directory with a space in it*. I was setting mine like this:

[extensions]
hggit = "C:\ABC DEF\hg-git\hggit"

but that was causing this error:
*** failed to import extension hggit from "C:\ABC DEF\hg-git\hggit": [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Removing the quotes fixed the problem:
[extensions]
hggit = C:\ABC DEF\hg-git\hggit

Stubbing Static Methods with PostSharp

TypeMock uses the Profiler API to allow mocking, stubbing, etc. of classes used by code under test. It has the ability to handle sealed classes, static classes, non-virtual methods, and other troublesome-yet-oft-encountered scenarios in the world of unit testing. Other frameworks rely on proxies to intercept method calls, limiting them to be able to only fake virtual, abstract, and interface members. They also rely on dependecy injection to place the proxies as the concrete implementation of calls to the abstracted interface members. Anyone working with a legacy codebase is bound to run into static method calls (especially in the data access layer), dependencies on concrete types with non-virtual methods, and sealed class dependencies (HttpContext anyone?). The only way to unit test this without refactoring is with TypeMock. I've never used TypeMock, and I'm sure it's a great product, but it's not free. I decided to spike some code to see if I could solve the prob...

Strongly-Typed Property Constraints in Rhino Mocks

UPDATE: As I suspected, this functionality was right in front of my face – it’s called PredicateConstraint in Rhino Mocks. I also realize that I managed to completely ignore the existence of Predicate<T> in the framework, and write my own predicate delegate. Hey, I was on a roll. Rhino Mocks has a PropertyConstraint class that allows you to check the values on properties of objects passed into the method as part of the verification for that method being called. Unfortunately, the name of the property is specified as a string, which means the benefits of strong-typing that Rhino Mocks is normally so good at preserving are lost. Here’s an example (using Rhino Mocks 3.3 and .NET 2.0): [Test] public void Main_Form_Should_Show_Start_Panel_On_Load() { MockRepository mockRepository = new MockRepository(); IMainFormView mockView = mockRepository.DynamicMock<IMainFormView>(); IEventRaiser loadEventRaiser = GetEventRaiserFor(delegate { mockView.Load += null; });...
