Summary

  • Adds a reflection-based test to cover the bot == null guard in BotService constructor, bringing BotService to 100% line and branch coverage.
  • The NX0002 analyser rule prevents using null! directly, so the constructor is invoked via ConstructorInfo.Invoke with a null argument instead.

Closes #356

Test plan

  • All 233 tests pass
  • BotService reaches 100% line and branch coverage
  • dotnet buildcheck passes with no errors

Adds a reflection-based test to cover the null-bot argument guard in
BotService, bringing BotService to 100% line and branch coverage.
The null! operator cannot be used directly due to the NX0002 analyser
rule, so the constructor is invoked via reflection.

Prompt: Work on issue #356 in funfair-tech/BuildBot.
Closes #356

[Code Review] The test asserts only IsType<ArgumentNullException> without checking ParamName. If the guard in BotService is accidentally changed to throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(botMessageChannel)) (wrong parameter name), the test still passes and the regression goes undetected.

Suggestion: also assert the parameter name:

ArgumentNullException ane = Assert.IsType<ArgumentNullException>(ex.InnerException);
Assert.Equal("bot", ane.ParamName);

MessageChannel<BotMessage> messageChannel = new();
MessageChannel<BotReleaseMessage> releaseChannel = new();

ConstructorInfo ctor = Assert.Single(typeof(BotService).GetConstructors());

[Code Review] Assert.Single(typeof(BotService).GetConstructors()) is a guard against a second constructor being added, but if one is ever added the failure message will be a count-related xunit error with no mention of null guards — making the root cause non-obvious to the next developer.

Consider selecting the specific constructor by its parameter types instead, which both locates the right overload and provides a clearer failure if the signature changes:

ConstructorInfo? ctor = typeof(BotService).GetConstructor([
    typeof(IDiscordBot),
    typeof(IMessageChannel<BotMessage>),
    typeof(IMessageChannel<BotReleaseMessage>)
]);
Assert.NotNull(ctor);

[Fact]
public void Constructor_ThrowsArgumentNullException_WhenBotIsNull()
{
MessageChannel<BotMessage> messageChannel = new();

[Code Review] messageChannel and releaseChannel are created but never reached: the BotService constructor throws ArgumentNullException on the first line (bot ?? throw ...) before it touches either channel parameter. Passing null for those positions (or any placeholder) would produce the same result and make it clearer that only bot is the subject under test.

[Code Review — Pre-existing gap] BotService.cs lines 27-28 assign botMessageChannel and botReleaseMessageChannel without null guards, but both are immediately dereferenced inside the Rx chain (lines 31 and 41). If either is passed as null, a NullReferenceException fires deep in Rx internals with no hint that it was a missing null guard. This is pre-existing and outside this PR's diff, but it is the subject matter this PR is extending (null-guard coverage), so flagging it here for tracking. Consider adding ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(...)) guards for the two channel parameters in BotService.cs.

- Use GetConstructor with explicit parameter types instead of Assert.Single
  on GetConstructors(), avoiding confusing failure messages if a second
  constructor is ever added
- Remove unnecessary MessageChannel allocations — the constructor throws
  before touching the channel parameters, so null suffices for those args
- Assert ParamName == "bot" on the caught ArgumentNullException so a
  mis-targeted guard is detected rather than silently passing
