Instantiation:
using SparkyTestHelpers.AspNetMvc;
var homeController = new HomeController(/* with test dependencies */);
var controllerTester = new ControllerTester<HomeController>(homeController);
It doesn't do anything on its own - just provides an Action(actionDefinitionExpression) method that's used to create a...
var controllerActionTester =
new ControllerTester<HomeController>(homeController).Action(x => x.Index);
The .Action method argument is an expression for either a synchronous or async controller action method.
ControllerActionTester has several .Test... methods used to assert that the controller action returns the expected ActionResult implementation. There are methods for all of the standard result types, plus the generic TestResult<TActionResultType> method:
- .TestContent(Action<ContentResult> validate)
- .TestEmpty(Action<EmptyResult> validate)
- .TestFile(Action<FileResult> validate)
- .TestJson(Action<JsonResult> validate)
- .TestPartialView(Action<PartialViewResult> validate)
- .TestRedirect(string expectedUrl, Action<RedirectResult> validate)
- .TestRedirectToAction(string expecteActionName, Action<RedirectToRouteResult> validate)
- .TestRedirectToRoute(string expectedRoute, Action<RedirectToRouteResult> validate)
- .TestView(Action<ViewResult> validate)
- .TestResult<TActionResultType>(Action<TActionResultType> validate)
Additional methods:
- .ExpectingViewName(string expectedViewName) - used with .TestView and .TestPartialView
- .ExpectingModel<TModelType>(Action<TModelType> validate) - using with .TestView and .TestJson
- WhenModelStateIsValidEquals(bool isValid) - used to test conditional logic based on ModelState.IsValid
All validate "callback" actions shown above are optional.
var homeController = new HomeController(/* with test dependencies */);
var controllerTester = new ControllerTester<HomeController>(homeController);
controllerTester.Action(x => x.Index).TestView();
controllerTester
.Action(x => () => x.Details(3))
.ExpectingViewName("Details")
.ExpectingModel<Foo>(foo => Assert.IsTrue(foo.IsValid))
.TestView();
controllerTester
.Action(x => () => x.Edit(updateModel))
.WhenModelStateIsValidEquals(false)
.TestRedirectToAction("Errors");
controllerTester
.Action(x => () => x.Edit(updateModel))
.WhenModelStateIsValidEquals(true)
.ExpectingViewName("UpdateSuccessful")
.TestRedirectToRoute("Home/UpdateSuccessful");
RouteTester and RoutingAsserter provide methods to assert that a given relative URL maps to the expected RouteData.Values. The RoutingAsserter.AssertMapTo overloads provide multiple ways to specify the expected values...
Constructors
- public RouteTester(Action<RouteCollection> routeRegistrationMethod)
- public RouteTester(AreaRegistration areaRegistration)
using SparkyTestHelpers.AspNetMvc.Routing;
. . .
var routeTester = new RouteTester(RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes);
var areaRouteTester = new RouteTester(new FooAreaRegistration());
- .ForUrl(string relativeUrl) - creates a new RoutingAsserter instance.
- .AssertMapTo(IDictionary<string, object> expectedValues)
- .AssertMapTo(object routeValues)
- .AssertMapTo(string controller, string action, (object id)) - id defaults to null
- .AssertMapTo<TController>(Expression<Func<TController, Func<ActionResult>>> actionExpression)
- .AssertRedirectTo(string expectedUrl, (HttpStatusCode *expectedStatusCode)) - expectedStatusCode defaults to HttpStatusCode.Redirect (302)
