c# - Autofixture Fixture.Build().With() On Same Property Name -

when set property "with" method, leave null propertys on nested objects same named.

(im using autofixture's latest version 3.0.8)

public class {     public string id { get; set; }     public ilist<something> things { get; set; } }  var obj = fixture.build<something>().with(q => q.id, "something").createanonymous() 

in situation, obj.id == "something" equals true, obj.things[0].id == null equalsto true.

i think there bug or im mistaken; may help?

by default, autofixture not create instance of something because graph contains circular reference.

what can add / remove appropriate behaviors on fixture instance:

fixture.behaviors.remove(new throwingrecursionbehavior()); fixture.behaviors.add(new omitonrecursionbehavior()); 

you can create instance of something things property (circular reference) omitted.

that's why empty list..

however, can customize creation algorithm further:

var obj = fixture.build<something>()     .with(x => x.id,          "something")     .with(x => x.things,          fixture.createmany<something>().tolist())     .create();
