Class NoSpecimen

Namespace: AutoFixture.Kernel
Assembly: AutoFixture.dll

Signifies that it's not a specimen.

public sealed class NoSpecimen : IEquatable<NoSpecimen>

Inheritance

object ← NoSpecimen

Implements

IEquatable<NoSpecimen>

Inherited Members

object.GetType(), object.ToString(), object.Equals(object?), object.Equals(object?, object?), object.ReferenceEquals(object?, object?), object.GetHashCode()

Remarks

`ISpecimenBuilder` implementations are expected to return `NoSpecimen` instances if they can't handle the request. This ensures that null can be used as a proper return value.

Constructors

NoSpecimen()

Initializes a new instance of the NoSpecimen class.

[Obsolete("Use the NoSpecimen.Instance property instead of calling new NoSpecimen(). This constructor is being deprecated in future versions of AutoFixture, as creating many NoSpecimen instances causes excessive memory usage: https://github.com/AutoFixture/AutoFixture/issues/1489", false)]
