Mock async static method with Moq

so far I have been able to mock static methods by changing its signature to something like (pseudo)

public static Func<TResult> Foo = () => { return TResult; };

Then in test I could mock it via 

MyClass.Foo = () => new TResult();

I am facing a new problem now.

There is a method with a signature something like:

public static async Task<TResult> FooBar(string obj1, string obj2)

I have changed it to 

public static Func<string, string, Task<TResult>> FooBar = async (obj1, obj2)

and this compiles nicely, but I don't get it to compile for the test.

MyClass.FooBar(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>()) => Task.FromResult(new TResult());

I know I should have await placed somewhere in the whole call but it just won't budge. What should be the proper way of mocking this delegate now?

Would this work for you?

MyClass.FooBar = (string obj1, string obj2) => Task.FromResult(new TResult());

Note: not sure where your TResult is comming from, but as it is not possible to have instances of generic functions in C#, your TResult must be "known" at the time of writing the mock, i.e.

public static Func<string, string, Task<int>> Foo = Bar<int>;            
public static async Task<TResult> Bar<TResult>(string obj1, string obj2) where TResult : new()
    => await Task.FromResult(new TResult());
