Verify.AspNetCore

Extends Verify to allow verification of AspNetCore bits.

See Milestones for release notes.

NuGet package

https://nuget.org/packages/Verify.AspNetCore/

Usage

Enable VerifyAspNetCore once at assembly load time:

[ModuleInitializer]
public static void Initialize() =>
    VerifyAspNetCore.Initialize();

Controller

Given the following controller:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

public class MyController :
    Controller
{
    public ActionResult<List<DataItem>> Method(string input)
    {
        var headers = HttpContext.Response.Headers;
        headers["headerKey"] = "headerValue";
        headers["receivedInput"] = input;

        var cookies = HttpContext.Response.Cookies;
        cookies.Append("cookieKey", "cookieValue");

        var items = new List<DataItem>
        {
            new("Value1"),
            new("Value2")
        };
        return new(items);
    }

    public class DataItem(string value)
    {
        public string Value { get; } = value;
    }
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

This test:

[Fact]
public Task Test()
{
    var context = new ControllerContext
    {
        HttpContext = new DefaultHttpContext()
    };
    var controller = new MyController
    {
        ControllerContext = context
    };

    var result = controller.Method("inputValue");
    return Verify(
        new
        {
            result,
            context
        });
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

Will result in the following verified file:

{
  result: [
    {
      Value: Value1
    },
    {
      Value: Value2
    }
  ],
  context: {
    HttpContext: {
      Request: {},
      IsAbortedRequested: false,
      Response: {
        StatusCode: OK,
        Headers: {
          headerKey: headerValue,
          receivedInput: inputValue
        },
        Cookies: {
          cookieKey: cookieValue
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Middleware

Given the following middleware:

public class MyMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
{
    public Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
    {
        context.Response.Headers["headerKey"] = "headerValue";
        return next(context);
    }
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

This test:

[Fact]
public async Task Test()
{
    var nextCalled = false;
    var middleware = new MyMiddleware(
        _ =>
        {
            nextCalled = true;
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        });

    var context = new DefaultHttpContext();
    await middleware.Invoke(context);

    await Verify(
        new
        {
            context.Response,
            nextCalled
        });
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

Will result in the following verified file:

{
  Response: {
    StatusCode: OK,
    Headers: {
      headerKey: headerValue
    }
  },
  nextCalled: true
}

Testing a web app with specific controller scenarios

UseSpecificControllers extends IMvcBuilder to allow integration testing of a web app using a specific controller scenario.

[Fact]
public async Task ControllerIntegrationTest()
{
    var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

    var controllers = builder.Services.AddControllers();
    // custom extension
    controllers.UseSpecificControllers(typeof(FooController));

    await using var app = builder.Build();
    app.MapControllers();

    await app.StartAsync();

    using var client = new HttpClient();
    var result = client.GetStringAsync($"{app.Urls.First()}/Foo");

    await Verify(result);
}

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class FooController :
    ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet]
    public string Get() =>
        "Foo";
}
