Feeling better this morning so let’s finally get rid of these test flakes!
Better!
Prompt:
The test ShouldDrawRow test case that has 2 expected rows is only drawing one. Can you look at both the test and the implementation and come up with a couple of ideas about why that might be?
Details
Looking at the
ShouldDrawRow
test case and theForecastMenu
implementation, I can identify a few potential reasons why the test with 2 expected rows is only drawing one:Potential Issues:
Screen Height Calculation Issue: In the test, you’re setting
Game1.uiViewport.Height = 620 * expectedRows;
to try to accommodate multiple rows. However, in theSetupPositionAndSize
method ofForecastMenu
, the height is calculated as:height = Math.Min(Game1.uiViewport.Height - 2 * yPadding, 2000);
And then the number of rows is calculated as:
_maxNumberOfRows = (height - 355) / 120;
The height might be getting capped at 2000, or the calculation might not be properly accounting for the increased viewport height.
Verification Issue in the Test: The test is verifying drawing calls for the first row in detail, but it’s only checking for the existence of the second row with:
_drawTextHelperMock.Verify(m => m.DrawAlignedText(...), Times.Exactly(expectedRows > 1 ? 1 : 0))
It’s possible the second row is being drawn but not properly verified.
Row Drawing Logic: In the
draw
method ofForecastMenu
, rows are drawn with:for (var i = 0; i < _maxNumberOfRows; i++) { if (_itemIndex + i < _allItems.Length) { DrawRow(batch, _allItems[_itemIndex + i], i, xPositionOnScreen, yPositionOnScreen, width); } }
If
_maxNumberOfRows
is not being calculated correctly based on the test setup, it might only be drawing one row.Horizontal Partition Drawing: The test is checking:
Assert.That(HarmonyIClickableMenu.DrawHoriztonalPartitionCalls[_batch], Has.Count.EqualTo(1 + expectedRows));
But the horizontal partitions might not be drawn correctly for multiple rows.
Y-coordinate Calculation for Second Row: In the
DrawRow
method, the y-coordinate for each row is calculated as:var y = startingY + 315 + padding + (rowHeight + padding) * rowNumber;
There might be an issue with how this calculation works for multiple rows, especially if other UI elements are taking up space.
Recommendations:
Add more detailed assertions to verify the second row is being drawn correctly, including checking the y-coordinates of the drawn elements.
Debug the
_maxNumberOfRows
calculation to ensure it’s correctly accounting for the increased viewport height.Check if the
DrawRow
method is being called twice when expected by adding a counter or mock verification.Verify that the y-coordinate calculation for the second row is placing it in a visible area of the screen.
Consider adding a direct test for the
SetupPositionAndSize
method to ensure it’s calculating dimensions correctly based on the viewport size.Tokens: 21k sent, 681 received. Cost: $0.07 message, $0.07 session.

Analysis of NullReferenceException in EconomyServiceTests
Looking at the error, it appears there’s a NullReferenceException occurring during the initialization of a
Farmer
object in your test setup. The error happens whenGame1.currentLocation
is accessed, which is null at that point.Possible Causes
Harmony Mock Initialization Issue: Your initial suspicion might be correct. The Harmony mocks for
Game1
or related classes might not be properly set up before theFarmer
constructor is called.Missing Mock for Game1.currentLocation: The error specifically mentions
Game1.get_currentLocation()
is causing a null reference. You might need to add a mock for this property.Order of Mock Setup: The order in which mocks are initialized might be causing issues. The
Farmer
constructor might be accessingGame1.currentLocation
before it’s mocked.Incomplete Farmer Mock: Your
HarmonyFarmer.MockConstructor
method returnsfalse
, which should prevent the original constructor from running, but there might be other initialization code that’s still executing.Race Condition: Since you mentioned it happens randomly, there might be a race condition in the test setup.
Proposed Solutions
Solution 1: Add Mock for Game1.currentLocation Add a mock for
Game1.currentLocation
in yourHarmonyGame
class:public static GameLocation CurrentLocationResult { get; set; } static bool MockGetCurrentLocation(ref GameLocation __result) { __result = CurrentLocationResult ?? new GameLocation(); return false; } // In Setup method harmony.Patch( AccessTools.PropertyGetter(typeof(Game1), nameof(Game1.currentLocation)), prefix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(HarmonyGame), nameof(MockGetCurrentLocation)) );
Then in your test setup:
HarmonyGame.CurrentLocationResult = new GameLocation();
Solution 2: Ensure Proper Mock Initialization Order
Make sure the
HarmonyTestBase.Setup()
is called before anyFarmer
objects are created. You’re callingbase.Setup()
at the beginning of your test setup, but verify that it’s actually initializing all the necessary mocks.Solution 3: Mock Game1.getLocationFromName Method
Since the error occurs in a call to
getLocationFromName
, you could mock this method directly:static bool MockGetLocationFromName(string name, bool isStructure, ref GameLocation __result) { __result = new GameLocation(); return false; } // In Setup method harmony.Patch( AccessTools.Method(typeof(Game1), nameof(Game1.getLocationFromName), new[] { typeof(string), typeof(bool) }), prefix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(HarmonyGame), nameof(MockGetLocationFromName)) );
Solution 4: Enhance Farmer Mock to Handle Initialization
Modify your
HarmonyFarmer
class to better handle the initialization process:static bool MockFarmerInit() { return false; // Skip the original initialization } // In Setup method harmony.Patch( AccessTools.Method(typeof(Farmer), nameof(Farmer.farmerInit)), prefix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(HarmonyFarmer), nameof(MockFarmerInit)) );
Solution 5: Pre-initialize Required Dictionaries
Ensure all dictionaries in
HarmonyFarmer
are initialized with theFarmer
instance before it’s used:// In your test setup _player = new Farmer(); HarmonyFarmer.UniqueMultiplayerIdDictionary[_player] = 1; HarmonyFarmer.IsMainPlayerDictionary[_player] = true; HarmonyFarmer.FarmerTeamDictionary[_player] = new FarmerTeam();
Implementation Plan
- Start by implementing Solution 1 (mock for
Game1.currentLocation
) as it directly addresses the error.- If that doesn’t resolve the issue, try Solution 3 (mock for
getLocationFromName
).- If the issue persists, implement Solution 4 to better handle the Farmer initialization.
- Ensure Solution 5 is in place to prevent dictionary-related errors.
- Review the order of operations in your test setup to ensure mocks are initialized before they’re needed.
This approach should help identify and resolve the root cause of the intermittent NullReferenceException.

Conclusion
Most of today was spent not using the ai as it didn’t have a great grasp of how all the tests + code was working. To be fair the forecast menu is definitely a monstrosity of unclear drawing functions. Next up will be increasing test coverage as there are new feature requests that I’d like to implement.
