在VS2022中，你可以简单地做:

foo.Setup(e => e.TryGetValue(out It.Ref<ExampleType>.IsAny))
.Returns((ref ExampleType exampleType) => {
exampleType = new ExampleType();
return true;
})

这是来自Moq网站的文档:

// out arguments
var outString = "ack";
// TryParse will return true, and the out argument will return "ack", lazy evaluated
mock.Setup(foo => foo.TryParse("ping", out outString)).Returns(true);


// ref arguments
var instance = new Bar();
// Only matches if the ref argument to the invocation is the same instance
mock.Setup(foo => foo.Submit(ref instance)).Returns(true);

这是一个解决方案。

[Test]
public void TestForOutParameterInMoq()
{
  //Arrange
  _mockParameterManager= new Mock<IParameterManager>();

  Mock<IParameter > mockParameter= new Mock<IParameter >();
  //Parameter affectation should be useless but is not. It's really used by Moq 
  IParameter parameter= mockParameter.Object;

  //Mock method used in UpperParameterManager
  _mockParameterManager.Setup(x => x.OutMethod(out parameter));

  //Act with the real instance
  _UpperParameterManager.UpperOutMethod(out parameter);

  //Assert that method used on the out parameter of inner out method are really called
  mockParameter.Verify(x => x.FunctionCalledInOutMethodAfterInnerOutMethod(),Times.Once());

}

在VS2022中，你可以简单地做:

foo.Setup(e => e.TryGetValue(out It.Ref<ExampleType>.IsAny))
.Returns((ref ExampleType exampleType) => {
exampleType = new ExampleType();
return true;
})

下面是一个正在工作的例子。

[Fact]
public void DeclineLowIncomeApplicationsOutDemo()
{
    var mockValidator = new Mock<IFrequentFlyerNumberValidator>();

    var isValid = true; // Whatever we set here, thats what we will get.

    mockValidator.Setup(x => x.IsValid(It.IsAny<string>(), out isValid));

    var sut = new CreditCardApplicationEvaluator(mockValidator.Object);

    var application = new CreditCardApplication
    {
        GrossAnnualIncome = 19_999,
        Age = 42
    };

    var decision = sut.EvaluateUsingOut(application);

    Assert.Equal(CreditCardApplicationDecision.AutoDeclined, decision);
}

public interface IFrequentFlyerNumberValidator
{
    bool IsValid(string frequentFlyerNumber);
    void IsValid(string frequentFlyerNumber, out bool isValid);
}

注意，在设置中没有return，因为没有return。

Moq版本4.8(或更高版本)对by-ref参数的支持有了很大的改进:

public interface IGobbler
{
    bool Gobble(ref int amount);
}

delegate void GobbleCallback(ref int amount);     // needed for Callback
delegate bool GobbleReturns(ref int amount);      // needed for Returns

var mock = new Mock<IGobbler>();
mock.Setup(m => m.Gobble(ref It.Ref<int>.IsAny))  // match any value passed by-ref
    .Callback(new GobbleCallback((ref int amount) =>
     {
         if (amount > 0)
         {
             Console.WriteLine("Gobbling...");
             amount -= 1;
         }
     }))
    .Returns(new GobbleReturns((ref int amount) => amount > 0));

int a = 5;
bool gobbleSomeMore = true;
while (gobbleSomeMore)
{
    gobbleSomeMore = mock.Object.Gobble(ref a);
}

同样的模式也适用于参数。

It.Ref < T >。IsAny也适用于c# 7的参数(因为它们也是by-ref)。
