Rebus.Fake 1.1.0

Rebus.Fake

Transport, SubscriptionStorage and SagaStorage for Rebus that don't actually send/receive anything at all. Kind-of like /dev/null in Linux.

Why?

I've found this useful for scenarios where I'm forced to inject a Rebus instance but I don't care about the functionality using it at all. I also don't want messages that I know will never be consumed, getting collected in-memory.

E.g. an application intended for both online and offline use: when hosted in an online environment it communicates with a number of external services using Rebus, but when it's hosted offline and those external services are not needed it is simple to just inject Rebus with a FakeTransport and drop all messages that the application attempts to send.

The official InMemory transport etc is better for testing. I do NOT recommend using FakeTransport for that.

How

using var bus = Configure.With(...)
    .(...)
    .Transport(c => c.UseFakeTransportAsOneWayClient())
    .Start();

Or if the bus is expected to be bi-directional and subscribing to topics:

using var bus = Configure.With(...)
    .(...)
    .Transport(c => c.UseFakeTransport("inputQueueName"))
    .Subscriptions(c => c.UseFakeSubscriptionStorage())
    .Start();
