How can I get an MSDN Moles tutorial to build? - moles

Question

I have an unusual question. I need help in understanding an original poster's own answer to his 6-month-old query on the MSDN forums.
The OP was told to ask further questions on StackOverflow, so there's no point in asking the OP to clarify his answer. I would be grateful for some help on this forum. I hope I'm not violating any forum rules or etiquette rules.
I'll just copy and paste the relevant snippets from the posts, in chronological order.
[OP]
I'm following the Unit Testing with Microsoft Moles Tutorial (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/pex/molestutorial.pdf) and getting stuck with step #5 in Task 2: Create Code Generated Stubs.
I cannot resolve SIFileSystem (compilation error as it cannot be found).
[OP]
I finally made the program to compile. But in case anybody else stumbled with this post and have the same problem, here's what I did:
- In StubsTutorialTest project, open mscorlib.moles
- Change the assembly name from "mscorlib" to "StubsTutorial"
- Rename mscorlib.moles to StubsTutorial.moles
- Build (this will add StubsTutorial.Moles in the references)
- Add "using StubsTutorial.Moles" in UnitTest.cs
The not found error in "var fs = new SIFileSystem();" is gone.

Next time you run into problems, Peli and the rest of the Pex and Moles Development team now tend to monitor the forums at Stack:

[Back to me]
So here are my questions:
In StubsTutorialTest project, open mscorlib.moles
mscorlib.moles in never mentioned in the tutorial. Anyway, how can someone open a DLL?
(There's actually a "mscorlib.moles.dll" in the Moles download.)
Change the assembly name from "mscorlib" to "StubsTutorial"
In my "StubsTutorial.csproj", there's no mention of "mscorlib". I have the line:
StubsTutorial
Rename mscorlib.moles to StubsTutorial.moles
Does he mean that I should add "mscorlib.Moles" as a reference, then rename it? Is that possible?
Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I believe what OP did was manually create a .moles file for the Tutorial assembly, by modifying the content and name of the mscorlib.moles file. The problem is that OP did not perform Task 2 Step 1:
In Visual Studio, open the test project StubsTutorialTest, open the References node, right-click the StubsTutorial reference node and select Add Moles Assembly.
This is the easy way to create a .moles file.
