TestBase-Mvc 4.1.4.3

*TestBase* gets you off to a flying start when unit testing projects with dependencies.
TestBase-Mvc adds a rich extensible set of fluent assertions for verifying Mvc ActionResults and for easy setup of ControllerContext and HttpContext for both Mvc and WebApi
TestBase.Shoulds
-------------------
Chainable fluent assertions get you to the point concisely
ControllerUnderTest.Action()
 .ShouldbeViewResult()
 .ShouldHaveModel<TModel>()
 .ShouldEqualByValue(expected)
ControllerUnderTest.Action()
 .ShouldBeRedirectToRouteResult()
 .ShouldHaveRouteValue("expectedKey", [Optional] "expectedValue");

ShouldHaveViewDataContaining(), ShouldBeJsonResult() etc.

TestBase
----------
Controller extensions to fake the http request & context. By injecting the RegisterRoutes method of your
MvcApplication, you can use and test Controller.Url with your application's configured routes.

ControllerUnderTest
 .WithHttpContextAndRoutes(
   [Optional] Action<RouteCollection> mvcApplicationRoutesRegistration,
   [optional] string requestUrl,
   [Optional] string query = "",
   [Optional] string appVirtualPath = "/",
   [Optional] HttpApplication applicationInstance)

ApiControllerUnderTest.WithWebApiHttpContext<T>(
   HttpMethod httpMethod,
   [Optional] string requestUri,
   [Optional] string routeTemplate)

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
    • AspNet.Mvc or AspNetCore Contexts
    • HttpClient
    • Ado.Net
    • Streams & Logging
  • Mix & match with your favourite test runners and assertions.

TestBase.Mvc for Mvc4 and Mvc5

Use the Controller.WithHttpContextAndRoutes() extension methods to fake the
http request & context, enabling you to unit test with dependecies on
Controller.Url(), Request.Cookies, Response.Cookies Request.QueryString
and more. By passing in your own MvcApplication's actual RegisterRoutes()
method , you can verify Controller.Url with your application's
actual routes.

var controllerUnderTest = new AController().WithHttpContextAndRoutes();

controllerUnderTest
    .Action("SomeController","SomeAction",other:1)
    .ShouldBeViewWithModel<AClass>("ViewName");
        .FooterLink
        .ShouldBe("/Controller/Action?other=1");

ControllerUnderTest
  .WithHttpContextAndRoutes(
    [Optional] Action<RouteCollection> mvcApplicationRoutesRegistration, 
    [optional] string requestUrl,
    [Optional] string query = "",
    [Optional] string appVirtualPath = "/",
    [Optional] HttpApplication applicationInstance)

ApiControllerUnderTest.WithWebApiHttpContext&lt;T&gt;(
    HttpMethod httpMethod, 
    [Optional] string requestUri,
    [Optional] string routeTemplate)

Chainable fluent assertions get you to the point concisely:

UnitUnderTest.Action()
  .ShouldNotBeNull()
  .ShouldEqualByValueExceptFor(new {Id=1, Descr=expected}, ignoreList )
  .Payload
    .ShouldMatchIgnoringCase("I expected this")
	.Should(someOtherPredicate);
	.Items
      .ShouldAll(predicate)
	  .ShouldContain(item)
	  .ShouldNotContain(predicate)
	  .Where(predicate)
	  .SingleOrAssertFail()

.ShouldEqualByValue().ShouldEqualByValueExceptFor(...).ShouldEqualByValueOnMembers()
  work with all kinds of object and collections, and report what differed.
string.ShouldMatch(pattern).ShouldNotMatch().ShouldBeEmpty().ShouldNotBeEmpty()
.ShouldNotBeNullOrEmptyOrWhiteSpace().ShouldEqualIgnoringCase()
.ShouldContain().ShouldStartWith().ShouldEndWith().ShouldBeContainedIn().ShouldBeOneOf().ShouldNotBeOneOf()
numeric.ShouldBeBetween().ShouldEqualWithTolerance()....GreaterThan....LessThan...GreaterOrEqualTo ...
ienumerable.ShouldAll().ShouldContain().ShouldNotContain().ShouldBeEmpty().ShouldNotBeEmpty() ...
stream.ShouldHaveSameStreamContentAs().ShouldContain()
value.ShouldBe().ShouldNotBe().ShouldBeOfType().ShouldBeAssignableTo()...
