Cannot convert from 'MyTypeToMock' to 'MockMe.DummyClass'

How to resolve

You need to trigger the source generators. This can be done is a couple ways,

1. Save the current file. (This will USUALLY be enough)
2. If that didn't work, the build the test project.

Why it occurs

This error occurs when you initially write Mock.Me(default(MyTypeToMock)) and the source generator has yet to trigger. There is an initial overload of Mock.Me that just serves the purpose of helping to fill in intellisense. The correct method, the one that will create a mock of your object, will not exist until the source generators have created it.

Mock object is missing methods or properties that exist in the mocked class

How to resolve

Rebuild (build alone does not always suffice) the test project.

Why it occurs

Even though it looks like the class member doesn't exist, it does. The issue is that intellisense can be a bit slow to pick up all the members on the source generated classes.
