Is it important to unit test a constructor?

Question

Ought I to unit test constructors? Say I have a constructor like this:

IMapinfoWrapper wrapper;
public SystemInfo(IMapinfoWrapper mapinfoWrapper)
{
    this.         


        

Answer 1

Yes. If you have logic in your constructor, you should test it. Simply setting properties is not logic IMO. Conditionals, control flow, etc IS logic.

Edit: You should probably test for when IMapinfoWrapper is null, if that dependency is required. If so, then that is logic and you should have a test that catches your ArgumentNullException or whatever... your tests are specifications that define how the code behaves. If it throws an ArgumentNullException, then that should be specified in a test.
