AspireExtensionsResource

This package provides Aspire as a Resource in the Aspire Host Dashboard , making it easier to test and manage Aspire dashboards. You can download the solution at https://github.com/ignatandrei/aspireExtensions/tree/main/src/AspireResourceExtensions in order to see the tests

Features

• Adds Aspire dashboard as a resource for testings
• Exposes login and base URLs as environment variables
• Exposes Resources as Mermaid graph
• Exposes Resources as CSV
• Exposes Resources as Swagger API

( see Examples below )

Installation

Install via NuGet:

dotnet add package AspireExtensionsResource

Usage

10. Add the Aspire resource to your distributed application builder:

using AspireResourceExtensionsAspire;

var aspire = builder.AddAspireResource();

20. Use the resource to add environment variables to other resources:

aspire.Resource.AddEnvironmentVariablesTo(otherResource);

( see below integration with Playwright tests for .NET and NodeJS )

30. Start parsing Aspire dashboard URLs:

Instead of

builder.Build().Run();

write this:

var result = aspire.Resource.StartParsing(app);
await Task.WhenAll(app.RunAsync(), result);

Integrations

Playwright NodeJS

Suppose that you have a NodeJS playwright app that you want to test your ASPIRE dashboard. You can integrate this way : In AppHost.cs

var npmTests = builder.AddNpmApp("GenerateVideo", "../GenerateTest")
    .WaitFor(aspire)
    .WithExplicitStart()
    ;

aspire.Resource.AddEnvironmentVariablesTo(tests,npmTests);

In the test you can write

const DEFAULT_BASE_URL = process.env.ASPIRE_BASE_URL ??"";
const DEFAULT_LOGIN_URL = process.env.ASPIRE_LOGIN_URL??""; 
const RESOURCE_URL = `${DEFAULT_BASE_URL}`;

test.describe('Test group', () => {
  test.use({ ignoreHTTPSErrors: true });

  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto(DEFAULT_LOGIN_URL);
    await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
  
  });

Playwright .NET

Suppose that you have a NodeJS playwright app that you want to test your ASPIRE dashboard. You can integrate this way:

In AppHost.cs

var tests= builder.AddTestProject<Projects.AspireResourceExtensions_Tests>("MyTests",
    "test --filter Category=Integration"
    )
    .WaitFor(aspire)
    .WithExplicitStart()
    ;
aspire.Resource.AddEnvironmentVariablesTo(tests);

In the Playwright test you will obtain the ASPIRE Dashboard url:

private (string ASPIRE_LOGIN_URL, string ASPIRE_BASE_URL) Endpoints = (
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPIRE_LOGIN_URL") ?? throw new ArgumentException("Should run from aspire")
    ,
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPIRE_BASE_URL") ?? throw new ArgumentException("Should run from aspire")
);

Examples

Screenshot of ASPIRE graph

Test code to obtain the screenshot of aspire

    var (loginUrl, baseUrl) = Endpoints; //see above definition of Endpoints
    playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
    browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync(new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions { Headless = false });
    page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
    await page.GotoAsync(loginUrl);
    await page.WaitForLoadStateAsync(LoadState.NetworkIdle);
    await page.GotoAsync(baseUrl);
    await page.WaitForLoadStateAsync(LoadState.NetworkIdle);    
    await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Tab,new() { Name = "Graph" ,Exact=false} ).ClickAsync();
    await Task.Delay(5000);
    await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() { Name = "Zoom Out", Exact = false }).ClickAsync();
    await Task.Delay(5000);
    await page.ScreenshotAsync(new PageScreenshotOptions { Path = "AspireResourceGraph.png" });

}

This is the result

Video of Aspire Dashboard

const actionsButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Actions' }).nth(1);
    await flashAndClick(actionsButton);
    await flashAndClick(page.getByRole('menuitem', { name: 'View details' }));
    const urlTables = page.locator('table');
    await expect(urlTables).toHaveCount(7);

    const urlTable = urlTables.nth(2); // Assuming the URLs table is the second table on the page
    urlTable.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded();
    await flashAndClick(urlTable);
    const rows = urlTable.locator('tbody tr');
    await expect(rows).toHaveCount(2);

    // First row assertions
    const firstRow = rows.nth(0);
    await expect(firstRow.locator('a', { hasText: `${DEFAULT_BASE_URL}` })).toBeVisible();
    await expect(firstRow).toContainText('BaseUrl');
    await expect(firstRow).toContainText('ASPIRE_BASE_URL');
    await firstRow.highlight();
    // Second row assertions
    const secondRow = rows.nth(1);
    await expect(secondRow.locator('a', { hasText: `${DEFAULT_LOGIN_URL}` })).toBeVisible();
    await expect(secondRow).toContainText('LoginUrl');
    await expect(secondRow).toContainText('ASPIRE_LOGIN_URL');
    await secondRow.highlight();
