MOQ- Setting up and verifying a generic method with Func argument

I have a third party interface which I want to mock its methods. To make my purpose clear consider the following IFoo interface which has a generic method like M2. One of M2 arguments is of type Func.

        public interface IFoo
        {
            bool M1<T>();
            bool M2<T>(T arg, Func<T, string> func);
        }

If I set up the M2 method as:

            var mock = new Mock<IFoo>();
            mock.Setup(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<It.IsAnyType>(),It.IsAny<Func<It.IsAnyType, string>>())).Returns(true);
            mock.Object.M2("arg1", s => s);
            mock.Verify(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<It.IsAnyType>(), It.IsAny<Func<It.IsAnyType, string>>()));

then verify will fail. But if it is set up and verified with a specific type like string then it works:

            mock.Setup(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<Func<string, string>>())).Returns(true);
            mock.Object.M2("arg1", s => s);
            mock.Verify(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<Func<string, string>>()));

The problem is that the actual type of T passed to my Mock is an internal class defined in that third party library. So I can't set up and verify with a specific type like the above-mentioned one.

Am I missing something in my first set up or verify or it is a well-known issue which has not been addressed yet? I am using moq 4.13.1 and my test project is .Net Core 3.1

Solution

Rather than

It.IsAny<Func<It.IsAnyType, string>>()

for the Func parameter, try

(Func<It.IsAnyType, string>) It.IsAny<object>()

Working example:

var mock = new Mock<IFoo>();
mock.Setup(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<It.IsAnyType>(), (Func<It.IsAnyType, string>) It.IsAny<object>())).Returns(true);

mock.Object.M2("arg1", s => s);

mock.Verify(foo => foo.M2(It.IsAny<It.IsAnyType>(), (Func<It.IsAnyType, string>) It.IsAny<object>()));

As far as I know Moq isn't able to match the Func<> type parameters using the It.IsAnyType matcher.
