[wix-users] Unit Test Deferred Custom Actions

[Hoover, Jacob]

Best bet would be to refactor your CA code to do all the MSI specific stuff (Session, etc) in one method, that would then pass the values in as var's to a function that doesn't require any MSI specific objects.  You could then run your unit against the non-msi methods.

Subject: [wix-users] Unit Test Deferred Custom Actions

We have a few custom actions, set as deferred, which perform various things (create files, install or cleanup certificates, selectively update config files, etc).

I would like to write some unit tests for those.  Problem is, how do I deal with the Session object?  It does not appear to be instantiable... so, short of refactoring my CA code, how can I create a mocked up version of this that I can update and pass to my CAs?
