I try to use AutoFixture in this test:
[Fact]
public void testLogin()
{
var response = new Mock<IServiceSomething2>();
response.Setup(r => r.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin());
var sut = new Authenticate(null, response.Object, null, null, null);
sut.LoginGo("", "fake");
response.Verify(a => a.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin(), Times.Once());
}
With
Authenticate(IServiceSomething1 i1, IServiceSomething2 response, Func<Obj1> login, Func<Obj2> func2, Action<string> action)
{
_i1 = i1;
_response = response;
_login = login;
_func2 = func2;
_action = action;
}
I try this:
[Fact]
public void testLogin()
{
var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());
var response = fixture.Freeze<Mock<IServiceSomething2>>();
response.Setup(r => r.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin());
//fixture.Register(() => response.Object);
fixture.Inject(response.Object);
var sut = fixture.Create<Authenticate>();
sut.Login("", "fake");
response.Verify(a => a.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin(), Times.Once());
}
and this:
public class AutoMoqDataAttribute : AutoDataAttribute
{
public AutoMoqDataAttribute()
: base(() => new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization() {}))
{
}
}
[Theory, AutoMoqData]
public void testLogin([Frozen]Mock<IServiceSomething2> response, Authenticate sut)
{
response.Setup(r => r.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin());
sut.Login("", "fake");
response.Verify(a => a.RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin(), Times.Once());
}
But i can´t because the RedirectToLoginPageWithInvalidLogin method doesn´t mocking.
Can you help me?
I resolve this. The problem was that the interface was readonly and for don't change that i need to do this
var ex = fixture.Build().FromFactory(() => new Authenticate(null, response.Object, null, null, null)).Create();
I don't find other answer
I have ChangePassword method where I have User.Identity.GetUserId() to find UserId.
Problem: It always return null. Don't understand why.
I read in another post that the GetUserById use below line of code to find Id. I am not sure how do I mock ClaimsTypes.NameIdentifier.
return ci.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
ChangePassword method (method to be unit testes)
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ChangePassword(string NewPassword, string OldPassword)
{
_tstService = new TestService();
IdentityResult result = await _tstService.ChangePassword(User.Identity.GetUserId(), OldPassword, NewPassword);
if (!result.Succeeded)
{
return GetErrorResult(result);
}
return Ok();
}
Unit Test
var mock = new Mock<MyController>();
mock.CallBase = true;
var obj = mock.Object;
obj.ControllerContext = new HttpControllerContext { Request = new HttpRequestMessage() };
obj.Request.SetOwinContext(CommonCodeHelper.mockOwinContext());
IPrincipal user = GetPrincipal();
obj.ControllerContext.RequestContext.Principal = user;
var result = await obj.ChangePassword(dto);
//GetPrincipal
public static IPrincipal GetPrincipal()
{
var user = new Mock<IPrincipal>();
var identity = new Mock<IIdentity>();
identity.Setup(x => x.Name).Returns("User1#Test.com");
identity.Setup(p => p.IsAuthenticated).Returns(true);
user.Setup(x => x.Identity).Returns(identity.Object);
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = user.Object;
return user.Object;
}
IOwinContext mocking code
public static IOwinContext mockOwinContext()
{
var owinMock = new Mock<IOwinContext>();
owinMock.Setup(o => o.Authentication.User).Returns(new ClaimsPrincipal());
owinMock.Setup(o => o.Request).Returns(new Mock<OwinRequest>().Object);
owinMock.Setup(o => o.Response).Returns(new Mock<OwinResponse>().Object);
owinMock.Setup(o => o.Environment).Returns(new Dictionary<string, object> { { "key1", 123 } });
var traceMock = new Mock<TextWriter>();
owinMock.Setup(o => o.TraceOutput).Returns(traceMock.Object);
var userStoreMock = new Mock<IUserStore<IfsUser>>();
userStoreMock.Setup(s => s.FindByIdAsync("User1#ifstoolsuite.com")).ReturnsAsync(new IfsUser
{
Id = "User1#test.com",
FirstName = "Test",
LastName = "User1",
Email = "User1#test.com",
UserName = "User1#test.com",
});
var applicationUserManager = new IfsUserManager(userStoreMock.Object);
owinMock.Setup(o => o.Get<IfsUserManager>(It.IsAny<string>())).Returns(applicationUserManager);
return owinMock.Object;
}
Your GetPrincipal can be updated to use claims.
public static IPrincipal GetPrincipal() {
//use an actual identity fake
var username = "User1#Test.com";
var identity = new GenericIdentity(username, "");
//create claim and add it to indentity
var nameIdentifierClaim = new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, username);
identity.AddClaim(nameIdentifierClaim);
var user = new Mock<IPrincipal>();
user.Setup(x => x.Identity).Returns(identity);
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = user.Object;
return user.Object;
}
Here is an example that shows how the above approach works.
public partial class MiscUnitTests {
[TestClass]
public class IdentityTests : MiscUnitTests {
Mock<IPrincipal> mockPrincipal;
string username = "test#test.com";
[TestInitialize]
public override void Init() {
//Arrange
var identity = new GenericIdentity(username, "");
var nameIdentifierClaim = new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, username);
identity.AddClaim(nameIdentifierClaim);
mockPrincipal = new Mock<IPrincipal>();
mockPrincipal.Setup(x => x.Identity).Returns(identity);
mockPrincipal.Setup(x => x.IsInRole(It.IsAny<string>())).Returns(true);
}
[TestMethod]
public void Should_GetUserId_From_Identity() {
var principal = mockPrincipal.Object;
//Act
var result = principal.Identity.GetUserId();
//Asserts
Assert.AreEqual(username, result);
}
[TestMethod]
public void Identity_Should_Be_Authenticated() {
var principal = mockPrincipal.Object;
//Asserts
Assert.IsTrue(principal.Identity.IsAuthenticated);
}
}
}
You have some design issues. Creating a concrete TestService will cause problems if it as connecting to an actual implementation. That becomes an integration test. Abstract that dependency as well.
public interface ITestService {
Task<IdentityResult> ChangePassword(string userId, string oldPassword, string newPassword);
}
public abstract class MyController : ApiController {
private ITestService service;
protected MyController(ITestService service) {
this.service = service;
}
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ChangePassword(string NewPassword, string OldPassword) {
IdentityResult result = await service.ChangePassword(User.Identity.GetUserId(), OldPassword, NewPassword);
if (!result.Succeeded) {
return GetErrorResult(result);
}
return Ok();
}
}
Also you should not mock the System under test. You should mock the dependencies of the SUT. Based on your method to be tested and what you indicated in the comments that MyController is an abstract class, the following test should apply
[TestClass]
public class MyControllerTests {
public class FakeController : MyController {
public FakeController(ITestService service) : base(service) { }
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestMyController() {
//Arrange
var mockService = new Mock<ITestService>();
mockService
.Setup(m => m.ChangePassword(....))
.ReturnsAsync(....);
var controller = new FakeController(mockService.Object);
//Set a fake request. If your controller creates responses you will need this
controller.Request = new HttpRequestMessage {
RequestUri = new Uri("http://localhost/api/my")
};
controller.Configuration = new HttpConfiguration();
controller.User = GetPrincipal();
//Act
var result = await controller.ChangePassword("NewPassword", "OldPassword");
//Assert
//...
}
}
I have a HtmlHelper that returns the bootstrap selected class. I use this helper to apply the active state to my menu items.
Helper Code
public static string IsSelected(this HtmlHelper html, string controllers = "", string actions = "",
string ccsClass = "selected")
{
var viewContext = html.ViewContext;
var isChildAction = viewContext.Controller.ControllerContext.IsChildAction;
if (isChildAction)
{
viewContext = html.ViewContext.ParentActionViewContext;
}
var routeValues = viewContext.RouteData.Values;
var currentController = routeValues["controller"].ToString();
var currentAction = routeValues["action"].ToString();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(controllers))
{
controllers = currentController;
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(actions))
{
actions = currentAction;
}
var acceptedActions = actions.Trim().Split(',').Distinct().ToArray();
var acceptedControllers = controllers.Trim().Split(',').Distinct().ToArray();
return acceptedControllers.Contains(currentController) && acceptedActions.Contains(currentAction)
? ccsClass
: string.Empty;
}
Testing Code
[Test]
public void WhenPassedControllerAndActionMatchContextReturnSelectedClass()
{
var htmlHelper = CreateHtmlHelper(new ViewDataDictionary());
var result = htmlHelper.IsSelected("performance", "search");
Assert.AreEqual("selected", result);
}
public static HtmlHelper CreateHtmlHelper(ViewDataDictionary viewData)
{
var mocks = new MockRepository();
var controllerContext = mocks.DynamicMock<ControllerContext>(
mocks.DynamicMock<HttpContextBase>(),
new RouteData(),
mocks.DynamicMock<ControllerBase>());
var viewContext = new ViewContext(controllerContext, mocks.StrictMock<IView>(), viewData, new TempDataDictionary(), mocks.StrictMock<TextWriter>());
//var mockViewContext = MockRepository.GenerateMock<ViewContext>();
var mockViewDataContainer = mocks.DynamicMock<IViewDataContainer>();
mockViewDataContainer.Expect(v => v.ViewData).Return(viewData);
return new HtmlHelper(viewContext, mockViewDataContainer);
}
This is giving me an error. When I debug, I see that it is because ControllerContext is null on Line 5 of Helper code.
What would be the flexible, correct way of testing that code?
I've noticed that your are using rhino-mocks but it possible (and really easy) to solve your problem using Typemock Isolater by faking the dependencies of HtmlHelper as shown in the following example:
[TestMethod, Isolated]
public void WhenPassedControllerAndActionMatchContextReturnSelectedClass()
{
var fakeHtmlHalper = Isolate.Fake.Dependencies<HtmlHelper>();
var fakeViewContext = Isolate.GetFake<ViewContext>(fakeHtmlHalper);
Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"]).WillReturn("performance");
Isolate.WhenCalled(() => fakeViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"]).WillReturn("search");
var result = fakeHtmlHalper.IsSelected("performance", "search");
Assert.AreEqual("selected", result);
}
I am trying to write unit test case using MsTest for custom filter which has the logic to validate the Antiforgerytoken for POST method in ASP.NET WEB API 2 project.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = true)]
public class ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
try
{
string cookieToken = null;
string formToken = null;
if (actionContext.Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
IEnumerable<string> tokenHeaders;
if (actionContext.Request.Headers.TryGetValues("__RequestVerificationToken", out tokenHeaders))
{
string[] tokens = tokenHeaders.First().Split(':');
if (tokens.Length == 2)
{
cookieToken = tokens[0].Trim();
formToken = tokens[1].Trim();
}
}
if (cookieToken != null && formToken !=null)
{
AntiForgery.Validate(cookieToken, formToken);
}
else
{
AntiForgery.Validate();
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);
actionContext.Response = actionContext.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);
}
}
}
In the below code IsAjaxRequest is an extension method
public static class HttpRequestMessageExtensions
{
public static bool IsAjaxRequest(this HttpRequestMessage request)
{
IEnumerable<string> headers;
if (request.Headers.TryGetValues("X-Requested-With", out headers))
{
var header = headers.FirstOrDefault();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(header))
{
return header.ToLowerInvariant() == "xmlhttprequest";
}
}
return false;
}
}
Here my issue how to mock the IsAjaxRequest and how to pass actionContext parameter to the OnActionExecuting method.
Can anyone help me to provide some code samples regarding this?
IsAjaxRequest is an extension method which mean it is a static method.
You shouldn't mock static methods. You should test it as a part of your method under test behavior.
The following example shows how to test invalid request:(I removed the :: ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex); since I didn't know which assembly to add... so add the missing assert\s in your test...)
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
var target = new ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute();
var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage();
requestMessage.Headers.Add("X-Requested-With", new[] {"xmlhttprequest"});
var fakeDescriptor = new Mock<HttpActionDescriptor>();
var controllerContext = new HttpControllerContext {Request = requestMessage};
var context = new HttpActionContext(controllerContext, fakeDescriptor.Object);
target.OnActionExecuting(context);
Assert.AreEqual(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden, actionContext.Response.StatusCode);
}
You can mock the static method if you really need to. There's my example of the test with Typemock isolator:
[TestMethod, Isolated]
public void TestValidate()
{
//How to fake action context to further passing it as a parameter:
var fake = Isolate.Fake.AllInstances<HttpActionContext>();
Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods<HttpActionContext>();
//How to mock IsAjaxRequset:
var request = new HttpRequestMessage();
Isolate.WhenCalled(() => request.IsAjaxRequest()).WillReturn(true);
//Arrange:
ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute target = new ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute();
Isolate.WhenCalled(() => AntiForgery.Validate()).IgnoreCall();
//Act:
target.OnActionExecuting(fake);
//Assert:
Isolate.Verify.WasCalledWithAnyArguments(() => AntiForgery.Validate());
}
I have a web service I am trying to unit test. In the service it pulls several values from the HttpContext like so:
m_password = (string)HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerId"];
m_userID = (string)HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerUrl"];
in the unit test I am creating the context using a simple worker request, like so:
SimpleWorkerRequest request = new SimpleWorkerRequest("", "", "", null, new StringWriter());
HttpContext context = new HttpContext(request);
HttpContext.Current = context;
However, whenever I try to set the values of HttpContext.Current.Session
HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerId"] = "customer1";
HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerUrl"] = "customer1Url";
I get null reference exception that says HttpContext.Current.Session is null.
Is there any way to initialize the current session within the unit test?
You can "fake it" by creating a new HttpContext like this:
http://www.necronet.org/archive/2010/07/28/unit-testing-code-that-uses-httpcontext-current-session.aspx
I've taken that code and put it on an static helper class like so:
public static HttpContext FakeHttpContext()
{
var httpRequest = new HttpRequest("", "http://example.com/", "");
var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
var httpResponse = new HttpResponse(stringWriter);
var httpContext = new HttpContext(httpRequest, httpResponse);
var sessionContainer = new HttpSessionStateContainer("id", new SessionStateItemCollection(),
new HttpStaticObjectsCollection(), 10, true,
HttpCookieMode.AutoDetect,
SessionStateMode.InProc, false);
httpContext.Items["AspSession"] = typeof(HttpSessionState).GetConstructor(
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance,
null, CallingConventions.Standard,
new[] { typeof(HttpSessionStateContainer) },
null)
.Invoke(new object[] { sessionContainer });
return httpContext;
}
Or instead of using reflection to construct the new HttpSessionState instance, you can just attach your HttpSessionStateContainer to the HttpContext (as per Brent M. Spell's comment):
SessionStateUtility.AddHttpSessionStateToContext(httpContext, sessionContainer);
and then you can call it in your unit tests like:
HttpContext.Current = MockHelper.FakeHttpContext();
We had to mock HttpContext by using a HttpContextManager and calling the factory from within our application as well as the Unit Tests
public class HttpContextManager
{
private static HttpContextBase m_context;
public static HttpContextBase Current
{
get
{
if (m_context != null)
return m_context;
if (HttpContext.Current == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException("HttpContext not available");
return new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
}
}
public static void SetCurrentContext(HttpContextBase context)
{
m_context = context;
}
}
You would then replace any calls to HttpContext.Current with HttpContextManager.Current and have access to the same methods. Then when you're testing, you can also access the HttpContextManager and mock your expectations
This is an example using Moq:
private HttpContextBase GetMockedHttpContext()
{
var context = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
var request = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();
var response = new Mock<HttpResponseBase>();
var session = new Mock<HttpSessionStateBase>();
var server = new Mock<HttpServerUtilityBase>();
var user = new Mock<IPrincipal>();
var identity = new Mock<IIdentity>();
var urlHelper = new Mock<UrlHelper>();
var routes = new RouteCollection();
MvcApplication.RegisterRoutes(routes);
var requestContext = new Mock<RequestContext>();
requestContext.Setup(x => x.HttpContext).Returns(context.Object);
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.Request).Returns(request.Object);
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.Response).Returns(response.Object);
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.Session).Returns(session.Object);
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.Server).Returns(server.Object);
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.User).Returns(user.Object);
user.Setup(ctx => ctx.Identity).Returns(identity.Object);
identity.Setup(id => id.IsAuthenticated).Returns(true);
identity.Setup(id => id.Name).Returns("test");
request.Setup(req => req.Url).Returns(new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
request.Setup(req => req.RequestContext).Returns(requestContext.Object);
requestContext.Setup(x => x.RouteData).Returns(new RouteData());
request.SetupGet(req => req.Headers).Returns(new NameValueCollection());
return context.Object;
}
and then to use it within your unit tests, I call this within my Test Init method
HttpContextManager.SetCurrentContext(GetMockedHttpContext());
you can then, in the above method add the expected results from Session that you're expecting to be available to your web service.
Milox solution is better than the accepted one IMHO but I had some problems with this implementation when handling urls with querystring.
I made some changes to make it work properly with any urls and to avoid Reflection.
public static HttpContext FakeHttpContext(string url)
{
var uri = new Uri(url);
var httpRequest = new HttpRequest(string.Empty, uri.ToString(),
uri.Query.TrimStart('?'));
var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
var httpResponse = new HttpResponse(stringWriter);
var httpContext = new HttpContext(httpRequest, httpResponse);
var sessionContainer = new HttpSessionStateContainer("id",
new SessionStateItemCollection(),
new HttpStaticObjectsCollection(),
10, true, HttpCookieMode.AutoDetect,
SessionStateMode.InProc, false);
SessionStateUtility.AddHttpSessionStateToContext(
httpContext, sessionContainer);
return httpContext;
}
I worte something about this a while ago.
Unit Testing HttpContext.Current.Session in MVC3 .NET
Hope it helps.
[TestInitialize]
public void TestSetup()
{
// We need to setup the Current HTTP Context as follows:
// Step 1: Setup the HTTP Request
var httpRequest = new HttpRequest("", "http://localhost/", "");
// Step 2: Setup the HTTP Response
var httpResponce = new HttpResponse(new StringWriter());
// Step 3: Setup the Http Context
var httpContext = new HttpContext(httpRequest, httpResponce);
var sessionContainer =
new HttpSessionStateContainer("id",
new SessionStateItemCollection(),
new HttpStaticObjectsCollection(),
10,
true,
HttpCookieMode.AutoDetect,
SessionStateMode.InProc,
false);
httpContext.Items["AspSession"] =
typeof(HttpSessionState)
.GetConstructor(
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance,
null,
CallingConventions.Standard,
new[] { typeof(HttpSessionStateContainer) },
null)
.Invoke(new object[] { sessionContainer });
// Step 4: Assign the Context
HttpContext.Current = httpContext;
}
[TestMethod]
public void BasicTest_Push_Item_Into_Session()
{
// Arrange
var itemValue = "RandomItemValue";
var itemKey = "RandomItemKey";
// Act
HttpContext.Current.Session.Add(itemKey, itemValue);
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual(HttpContext.Current.Session[itemKey], itemValue);
}
You can try FakeHttpContext:
using (new FakeHttpContext())
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerId"] = "customer1";
}
If you're using the MVC framework, this should work. I used Milox's FakeHttpContext and added a few additional lines of code. The idea came from this post:
http://codepaste.net/p269t8
This seems to work in MVC 5. I haven't tried this in earlier versions of MVC.
HttpContext.Current = MockHttpContext.FakeHttpContext();
var wrapper = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
MyController controller = new MyController();
controller.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext(wrapper, new RouteData(), controller);
string result = controller.MyMethod();
In asp.net Core / MVC 6 rc2 you can set the HttpContext
var SomeController controller = new SomeController();
controller.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext();
controller.ControllerContext.HttpContext = new DefaultHttpContext();
controller.HttpContext.Session = new DummySession();
rc 1 was
var SomeController controller = new SomeController();
controller.ActionContext = new ActionContext();
controller.ActionContext.HttpContext = new DefaultHttpContext();
controller.HttpContext.Session = new DummySession();
https://stackoverflow.com/a/34022964/516748
Consider using Moq
new Mock<ISession>();
The answer that worked with me is what #Anthony had written, but you have to add another line which is
request.SetupGet(req => req.Headers).Returns(new NameValueCollection());
so you can use this:
HttpContextFactory.Current.Request.Headers.Add(key, value);
Try this:
// MockHttpSession Setup
var session = new MockHttpSession();
// MockHttpRequest Setup - mock AJAX request
var httpRequest = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();
// Setup this part of the HTTP request for AJAX calls
httpRequest.Setup(req => req["X-Requested-With"]).Returns("XMLHttpRequest");
// MockHttpContextBase Setup - mock request, cache, and session
var httpContext = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
httpContext.Setup(ctx => ctx.Request).Returns(httpRequest.Object);
httpContext.Setup(ctx => ctx.Cache).Returns(HttpRuntime.Cache);
httpContext.Setup(ctx => ctx.Session).Returns(session);
// MockHttpContext for cache
var contextRequest = new HttpRequest("", "http://localhost/", "");
var contextResponse = new HttpResponse(new StringWriter());
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(contextRequest, contextResponse);
// MockControllerContext Setup
var context = new Mock<ControllerContext>();
context.Setup(ctx => ctx.HttpContext).Returns(httpContext.Object);
//TODO: Create new controller here
// Set controller's ControllerContext to context.Object
And Add the class:
public class MockHttpSession : HttpSessionStateBase
{
Dictionary<string, object> _sessionDictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
public override object this[string name]
{
get
{
return _sessionDictionary.ContainsKey(name) ? _sessionDictionary[name] : null;
}
set
{
_sessionDictionary[name] = value;
}
}
public override void Abandon()
{
var keys = new List<string>();
foreach (var kvp in _sessionDictionary)
{
keys.Add(kvp.Key);
}
foreach (var key in keys)
{
_sessionDictionary.Remove(key);
}
}
public override void Clear()
{
var keys = new List<string>();
foreach (var kvp in _sessionDictionary)
{
keys.Add(kvp.Key);
}
foreach(var key in keys)
{
_sessionDictionary.Remove(key);
}
}
}
This will allow you to test with both session and cache.
I was looking for something a little less invasive than the options mentioned above. In the end I came up with a cheesy solution, but it might get some folks moving a little faster.
First I created a TestSession class:
class TestSession : ISession
{
public TestSession()
{
Values = new Dictionary<string, byte[]>();
}
public string Id
{
get
{
return "session_id";
}
}
public bool IsAvailable
{
get
{
return true;
}
}
public IEnumerable<string> Keys
{
get { return Values.Keys; }
}
public Dictionary<string, byte[]> Values { get; set; }
public void Clear()
{
Values.Clear();
}
public Task CommitAsync()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public Task LoadAsync()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public void Remove(string key)
{
Values.Remove(key);
}
public void Set(string key, byte[] value)
{
if (Values.ContainsKey(key))
{
Remove(key);
}
Values.Add(key, value);
}
public bool TryGetValue(string key, out byte[] value)
{
if (Values.ContainsKey(key))
{
value = Values[key];
return true;
}
value = new byte[0];
return false;
}
}
Then I added an optional parameter to my controller's constructor. If the parameter is present, use it for session manipulation. Otherwise, use the HttpContext.Session:
class MyController
{
private readonly ISession _session;
public MyController(ISession session = null)
{
_session = session;
}
public IActionResult Action1()
{
Session().SetString("Key", "Value");
View();
}
public IActionResult Action2()
{
ViewBag.Key = Session().GetString("Key");
View();
}
private ISession Session()
{
return _session ?? HttpContext.Session;
}
}
Now I can inject my TestSession into the controller:
class MyControllerTest
{
private readonly MyController _controller;
public MyControllerTest()
{
var testSession = new TestSession();
var _controller = new MyController(testSession);
}
}
The answer #Ro Hit gave helped me a lot, but I was missing the user credentials because I had to fake a user for authentication unit testing. Hence, let me describe how I solved it.
According to this, if you add the method
// using System.Security.Principal;
GenericPrincipal FakeUser(string userName)
{
var fakeIdentity = new GenericIdentity(userName);
var principal = new GenericPrincipal(fakeIdentity, null);
return principal;
}
and then append
HttpContext.Current.User = FakeUser("myDomain\\myUser");
to the last line of the TestSetup method you're done, the user credentials are added and ready to be used for authentication testing.
I also noticed that there are other parts in HttpContext you might require, such as the .MapPath() method. There is a FakeHttpContext available, which is described here and can be installed via NuGet.
I found the following simple solution for specifying a user in the HttpContext: https://forums.asp.net/post/5828182.aspx
Never mock.. never! The solution is pretty simple. Why fake such a beautiful creation like HttpContext?
Push the session down! (Just this line is enough for most of us to understand but explained in detail below)
(string)HttpContext.Current.Session["CustomerId"]; is how we access it now. Change this to
_customObject.SessionProperty("CustomerId")
When called from test, _customObject uses alternative store (DB or cloud key value[ http://www.kvstore.io/] )
But when called from the real application, _customObject uses Session.
how is this done? well... Dependency Injection!
So test can set the session(underground) and then call the application method as if it knows nothing about the session. Then test secretly checks if the application code correctly updated the session. Or if the application behaves based on the session value set by the test.
Actually, we did end up mocking even though I said: "never mock". Becuase we couldn't help but slip to the next rule, "mock where it hurts the least!". Mocking huge HttpContext or mocking a tiny session, which hurts the least? don't ask me where these rules came from. Let us just say common sense. Here is an interesting read on not mocking as unit test can kills us
Try this way..
public static HttpContext getCurrentSession()
{
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(new HttpRequest("", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UnitTestSessionURL"], ""), new HttpResponse(new System.IO.StringWriter()));
System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateUtility.AddHttpSessionStateToContext(
HttpContext.Current, new HttpSessionStateContainer("", new SessionStateItemCollection(), new HttpStaticObjectsCollection(), 20000, true,
HttpCookieMode.UseCookies, SessionStateMode.InProc, false));
return HttpContext.Current;
}
