# Guids By default guids are sanitized during verification. This is done by finding each guid and taking a counter based that that specific guid. That counter is then used replace the guid values. This allows for repeatable tests when guid values are changing. ```cs var guid = Guid.NewGuid(); var target = new GuidTarget { Guid = guid, GuidNullable = guid, GuidString = guid.ToString(), OtherGuid = Guid.NewGuid() }; await Verify(target); ``` snippet source | anchor Results in the following: ```txt { Guid: Guid_1, GuidNullable: Guid_1, GuidString: Guid_1, OtherGuid: Guid_2 } ``` snippet source | anchor ## Disable To disable this behavior use: ### Instance ```cs var settings = new VerifySettings(); settings.DontScrubGuids(); await Verify(target, settings); ``` snippet source | anchor ### Fluent ```cs await Verify(target) .DontScrubGuids(); ``` snippet source | anchor ### Globally ```cs VerifierSettings.DontScrubGuids(); ``` snippet source | anchor ## Inline Guids Strings containing inline Guids can also be scrubbed. To enable this behavior, use: ### Instance ```cs [Fact] public Task ScrubInlineGuidsInstance() { var settings = new VerifySettings(); settings.ScrubInlineGuids(); return Verify( "content 651ad409-fc30-4b12-a47e-616d3f953e4c content", settings); } ``` snippet source | anchor ### Fluent ```cs [Fact] public Task ScrubInlineGuidsFluent() => Verify("content 651ad409-fc30-4b12-a47e-616d3f953e4c content") .ScrubInlineGuids(); ``` snippet source | anchor ### Globally ```cs public static class ModuleInitializer { [ModuleInitializer] public static void Init() => VerifierSettings.ScrubInlineGuids(); } ``` snippet source | anchor ## Named Guid Specific Guids can be named. When any of those Guids are found, it will be replaced with the supplied name. ### Instance ```cs [Fact] public Task NamedGuidInstance() { var settings = new VerifySettings(); var guid = new Guid("c8eeaf99-d5c4-4341-8543-4597c3fd40d9"); settings.AddNamedGuid(guid, "instanceNamed"); return Verify( new { value = guid }, settings); } ``` snippet source | anchor ### Instance ```cs [Fact] public Task NamedGuidFluent() { var guid = new Guid("c8eeaf99-d5c4-4341-8543-4597c3fd40d9"); return Verify( new { value = guid }) .AddNamedGuid(guid, "instanceNamed"); } ``` snippet source | anchor ### Globally ```cs [ModuleInitializer] public static void Init() => VerifierSettings.AddNamedGuid(new("c8eeaf99-d5c4-4341-8543-4597c3fd40c9"), "guidName"); ``` snippet source | anchor ### Inferred Name The name can be inferred from the variable name by omitting the name argument: ```cs [Fact] public Task InferredNamedGuidFluent() { var namedGuid = new Guid("c8eeaf99-d5c4-4341-8543-4597c3fd40d9"); return Verify( new { value = namedGuid }) .AddNamedGuid(namedGuid); } ``` snippet source | anchor Result: ```txt { value: namedGuid } ``` snippet source | anchor
