CosmosClient Unit Test Constructor marked internal

[SherifSK]

Hi, I am trying to mock the CosmosClient and facing the same issue. Any progress on this since then? If yes, please provide an example or means to do it. I am using xUnit and NSubstitute.

Hi, the constructor is marked as internal because we are planning to remove all documentclient dependencies. We didn't want people taking dependency on something we know will be removed in the future. I'm working on adding a new abstraction layer to allow mocking the object without the need of creating the CosmosClient.

@j82w can you make sure to also provide an example of mocking with this new abstraction layer? I know there are tons of different mock frameworks out there, just pick one (MOQ wink wink) to provide as an example.

The current design is to refactor all the classes from CosmosDatabases down to CosmosItems to abstract base classes. Then the implementation will be made internal. The base abstract class can then be mocked without needing to create the client.
