TestBase.Mvc.AspNetCore
*TestBase* gives you a flying start with - fluent assertions that are easy to extend - sharp error messages - tools to help you test with “heavyweight” dependencies on - AspNetCore.Mvc, AspNet.Mvc or WebApi Contexts - HttpClient - Ado.Net - Streams & Logging Chainable fluent assertions get you to the point concisely: ``` ControllerUnderTest.Action() .ShouldbeViewResult() .ShouldHaveModel<TModel>() .ShouldEqualByValue(expected, exceptForTheseFields); .Reference .ShouldMatchIgnoringCase("I expected this"); ControllerUnderTest.Action() .ShouldBeRedirectToRouteResult() .ShouldHaveRouteValue(""expectedKey"", [Optional] ""expectedValue""); ShouldHaveViewDataContaining(), ShouldBeJsonResult() etc. ``` Quickly test AspNetCore controllers with zero setup using `controllerUnderTest.WithControllerContext()` : ``` [TestFixture] public class WhenTestingControllersUsingFakeControllerContext { [Test] public void ControllerUrlAndOtherPropertiesShouldWorkAsExpected__GivenControllerContext() { var uut = new FakeController().WithControllerContext(); uut.Url.Action(""a"", ""b"").ShouldEqual(""/b/a""); uut.ControllerContext.ShouldNotBeNull(); uut.HttpContext.ShouldBe(uut.ControllerContext.HttpContext); uut.Request.ShouldNotBeNull(); uut.ViewData.ShouldNotBeNull(); uut.TempData.ShouldNotBeNull(); uut.MyAction(param) .ShouldBeViewResult() .ShouldHaveModel<YouSaidViewModel>() .YouSaid.ShouldBe(param); } [Test] public void ShouldBeAbleToUseServicesConfiguredInStartupInTests() { var moreServicesFromDI=TestServerBuilder.RunningServerUsingStartup<TStartup>().Host.ServiceProvider; var controllerUnderTest = new AController() .WithControllerContext(virtualPathTemplate:""/{Action}/Before/{Controller}""); var result= controllerUnderTest .Action(""SomeController"",""SomeAction"") .ShouldBeViewWithModel<AClass>(""ViewName""); .FooterLink .ShouldBe(""/SomeAction/Before/SomeController""); } } ``` ... Or test against complex application dependencies using `HostedMvcTestFixtureBase` and specify your `Startup` class: ``` [TestFixture] public class WhenTestingControllersUsingAspNetCoreTestTestServer : HostedMvcTestFixtureBase { [TestCase(""/dummy/action?id={id}"")] public async Task Get_Should_ReturnActionResult(string url) { var id=Guid.NewGuid(); var httpClient=GivenClientForRunningServer<Startup>(); GivenRequestHeaders(httpClient, ""CustomHeader"", ""HeaderValue1""); var result= await httpClient.GetAsync(url.Formatz(new {id})); result .ShouldBe_200Ok() .Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result .ShouldBe(""Content""); } [TestCase(""/dummy"")] public async Task Put_Should_ReturnA(string url) { var something= new Fixture().Create<Something>(); var jsonBody= new StringContent(something.ToJSon(), Encoding.UTF8, ""application/json""); var httpClient=GivenClientForRunningServer<Startup>(); GivenRequestHeaders(httpClient, ""CustomHeader"", ""HeaderValue1""); var result = await httpClient.PutAsync(url, jsonBody); result.ShouldBe_202Accepted(); DummyController.Putted.ShouldEqualByValue( something ); } } ``` See also - TestBase - TestBase.Mvc for Mvc4 and Mvc 5 - TestBase.HttpClient.Fake - TestBase.AdoNet - Serilog.Sinks.ListOfString - Extensions.Logging.ListOfString
