TestBase gives you a flying start with

  • fluent assertions that are very easy to extend
  • Object and Collection comparers
  • Sharper error messages showing detailed Actual and Asserted
  • tools to help you test with “heavyweight” dependencies on
    • AspNetCore.Mvc, AspNet.Mvc or WebApi Contexts
    • HttpClient
    • Ado.Net
    • Streams & Logging
  • Mix & match with your favourite test runners & assertions.

ControllerUnderTest.Action()
  .ShouldBeRedirectToRouteResult()

ShouldHaveViewDataContaining(), ShouldBeJsonResult() etc.
  • Test AspNetCore controllers with zero setup using controllerUnderTest.WithControllerContext(actionUnderTest)
  • Test more complex AspNetCore controller/application dependencies using HostedMvcTestFixtureBase and specify your MVCApplications Startup class.
[TestCase("/dummy")]
public async Task Put_Should_ReturnA(string url)
{
    var httpClient=GivenClientForRunningServer<Startup>();
    GivenRequestHeaders(httpClient, "CustomHeader", "HeaderValue1");

    var result = await httpClient.PutAsync(url, json);

    result.ShouldBe_202Accepted();
}

For Mvc4 and Mvc 5, fake your http request & context, and use the RegisterRoutes method of your actual application to set up Controller.Url

ControllerUnderTest
  .WithHttpContextAndRoutes(
    RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes, 
    "/incomingurl"
  );

ApiControllerUnderTest.WithWebApiHttpContext<T>(
    httpMethod, 
    requestUri,
    routeTemplate)

Testable Logging

// Extensions.Logging.ListOfString
var log = new List<String>();
ILogger mslogger= new LoggerFactory().AddStringListLogger(log).CreateLogger("Test2");

// Serilog.Sinks.ListOfString
Serilog.Logger slogger= new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.StringList(log).CreateLogger();
