Mocking 'System.Console' behaviour

Question

Is there a standard way of making a C# console application unit-testable by programming against an interface, rather than System.Console?

For example, using an ICons

Answer 1

This code will work if you use just one thread:

[TestClass]
public class MyTests
{
    private StringBuilder output;
    private StringWriter tempOutputWriter;
    private TextWriter originalOutputWriter;

    [TestInitialize]
    public void InitializeTest()
    {
        this.originalOutputWriter = Console.Out;
        this.tempOutputWriter = new StringWriter();
        Console.SetOut(tempOutputWriter);
        this.output = tempOutputWriter.GetStringBuilder();
    }

    [TestCleanup]
    public void CleanupTest()
    {
        Console.SetOut(originalOutputWriter);
        this.tempOutputWriter.Dispose();
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void Test1()
    {
        Program.Main(new string[] { "1", "2", "3" });
        string output = this.output.ToString();
        ...
        this.output.Clear();
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void Test2()
    {
        Program.Main(new string[] { "4", "5", "6" });
        string output = this.output.ToString();
        ...
        this.output.Clear();
    }
}
