Given the following interface definition:
public interface IProject
{
string Name { get; }
dynamic Data { get; }
}
When you try to setup the mock for the dynamic property values, you get:
What’s important to realize is that a dynamic object is just a plain object, whose properties happen to be resolved at runtime. Kinda like reflection, if you will: all public properties of whatever object happens to be the instance, will be resolved just fine at runtime.
Therefore, one way to mock this dynamic is to just create an anonymous type with the properties we want, and set the dynamic property to return that:...

I’m aware and wary of fluent API alternatives to building regular expressions which IMO hinder readability more than anything. They are just too verbose.
So here’s a progression of options that I’m thinking of. I’d like to get your feedback on what makes for a readable pattern and how much you care about extension method pollution (since patterns are all strings, extension methods would need to “hang” there):...
