About

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing provides support for writing integration tests for ASP.NET Core apps that utilize MVC or Minimal APIs.

Key Features

  • Copies the dependencies file (.deps.json) from the System Under Test (SUT) into the test project's bin directory
  • Sets the content root to the SUT's project root so that static files are found during test execution
  • Provides the WebApplicationFactory class to streamline bootstrapping the SUT with TestServer

How to Use

To use Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing, follow these steps:

Installation

To install the package, run the following command from the directory containing the test project file:

dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing

Configuration

To configure the test app, follow these steps:

  1. Specify the Web SDK in the test project file (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">).
  2. Add references to the following packages:
    • xunit
    • xunit.runner.visualstudio
    • Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk
  3. Add a test class to the test project: 
    public class BasicTests
    : IClassFixture<WebApplicationFactory<Program>>
{
    private readonly WebApplicationFactory<Program> _factory;

    public BasicTests(WebApplicationFactory<Program> factory)
    {
        _factory = factory;
    }

    [Theory]
    [InlineData("/")]
    [InlineData("/Index")]
    [InlineData("/About")]
    [InlineData("/Privacy")]
    [InlineData("/Contact")]
    public async Task Get_EndpointsReturnSuccessAndCorrectContentType(string url)
    {
        // Arrange
        var client = _factory.CreateClient();

        // Act
        var response = await client.GetAsync(url);

        // Assert
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // Status Code 200-299
        Assert.Equal("text/html; charset=utf-8",
            response.Content.Headers.ContentType.ToString());
    }
}
