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.

NoSpecimen(Object)

Initializes a new instance of the NoSpecimen class with the supplied request.

Declaration
[Obsolete("Use NoSpecimen() instead of NoSpecimen(object). The Request property, and this constructor that populates it, is being retired in future versions of AutoFixture, as it has turned out that no one uses it. You can still use the parameterless NoSpecimen constructor overload. The NoSpecimen class itself will remain. If you're seeing this warning in AutoFixture 3.x, and, despite expectations, have a real need to use the Request property, please provide feedback on https://github.com/AutoFixture/AutoFixture/issues/475 .", true)]
public NoSpecimen(object request)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Object request
