I need to fake HttpContext.Current.Application table to access it from my unit tests.I need to store my data somewhere. I thought that I can just pass instance of NameValueCollectionBase but as I descover this base type has no indexer so it's too complicated to use. So what about faking this part of HttpContext? Is it possible? How can I make it? Will be NUnit.
View 2 RepliesI want to write a unit test which tests the function of a class called UploadedFile. The problem I face is this class' static constructor uses HttpContext.Current property and because I am running my unit test from a class library I do not have an HttpContext at the testing time.
Look at my static constructor:
static UploadedFile()
{
if (HttpContext.Current == null)[code]....
What should I do in my testing environment so that HttpContext.Current won't be null and I can successfully set this:
HttpServerUtility server = HttpContext.Current.Server;
In my project we use UnitTests (MsTest). We run them manually and in the build script.But for some environments where we deploy manually.We are in the need of having some smoke tests. At the moment I made this smoke tests "manually" (Login, create an user, create a licence, create a product, etc). I know I can run unit tests from command line or from visual studio but...Do you know if is possible to run these mstests (or probably a small subset) from an .aspx page and show the results?EDITED: wondering if mstests or something is able to run the tests and have something visual to show in an .aspx page similar to a list of tests passed and tests failed...I am thinking on running only a small subset of tests (5-6)
View 1 RepliesI have a simple page with a Grid that I'm binding a collection of objects to. I also have some simple functionality on the grid to edit and save rows. I would like to write unit tests for this page, but it's not really making sense to me.For example:
Private Sub LoadGrid()
'Populate Collection
grid.datasource = MyCollection
grid.databind()
end sub
I guess a Sub really doesn't need a unit test, but what if this were a function that returned true when the grid had been loaded. How do you write a unit test for this? What other test should be done on a simple web page like this?
I have Action method in a controller which uses RedirectToAction(actionName, routeValues[])I want to write the unit test for action method to check the following - 1. action name2. ViewData after executing the RedirectToAction.
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a website in asp.net webforms with 3 layers; UI, BLL and DAL.The website is already developed, but i like have more control about the unit tests of each form Pass specific values at specific inputs for i see, if application survives or not.
I already study about NUnit but in webforms in UI layer how can apply these tests?What i wnat is get some way to test UI (validations) without have to access to the BLL as i was an user.
I'm trying to add the Unit tests to my app but i not sure how to do it!
As stated in http://forums.asp.net/t/1535916.aspx the unit tests are missing from the ASP.NET MVC 2 RTM source code, but are available on CodePlex at
http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/41742).
After installing ASP.NET MVC2 RTM on Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, apparently unit tests are not enabled for VWD - when I create a new MVC2 project I don't get the "Create Unit Test Project" dialog box where I can say"Yes, create a unit test project".(I thought I was presented with that dialog box in earlier versions of either MVC2 RC or MVC1, but maybe not...)
Given the source code on codeplex, is it possible to use that to enable unit tests for MVC2 for VWD Express? If so, are the steps one have to take detailed somewhere?
Fo unit testing ASP.NET controls I need a stubbed Page.
I can create an ASP.NET Page object in my unit tests by subclassing System.Web.UI.Page.However, I cannot find a way to set Page.Form. Adding a form with attribute (runat,server)does not work. Overloading the form in my Subclass does not give the required functionality.
Context:I try to unit test some homemade ASP.NET controls. These control require Page and Page.Form not to be null.
I need a Continuous integration tool that will support both .Net Unit tests and Javascript unit tests and perform the builds.It looks like my main options are CruiseControl.NET using JUnit and NUnit or Team City and JS Test Driver.
Are there any other options and which ones have you used or had good or bad experiences with.
I have a unit test that reads from an .xml file and it works fine on my local machine.However, in TFS when I create a new build it gives the following exception:
Failed GetArticleByIdTestOptimal Test method Test.ArticleSystemTest.GetArticleByIdTestOptimal threw exception: System.Xml.XmlException: ImportFromFile filePath=[.Articles1to5.xml]. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:uildareaTestResults fservice
2010-10-19 11_52_19_Any CPU_ReleaseOutArticles1to5.xml'..
Is there some reason why a unit test could pass locally but not in TFS? I've verified that the file is on the build server.
I recently came accross the following article on Stephen Walther's website

Basically, it provides some excellent guidance on how to integrate your Javascript tests into Visual Studio. I followed the steps in the article and successfully managed to test Javascript methods using Visual Studio tests.
I am unable however to unit test JQuery methods (I get errors such as "window" undefined). I was wondering if anyone has successfully managed to test jQuery methods on the server using the above link?
I want to write unit tests for a web service. I create my test project, reference my web project (not service reference, assembly reference), then write some code to test the web services - they work fine. However, there are some services which make sure the user is logged in to the web application by using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated. In the context of the tests, there is no such thing as HttpContext, so the tests always fail. How should these kinds of web services be unit tested?
View 5 RepliesSince I'm having problem with unit testing RenderPartialViewToString() with Moq framework [URL] I'm thinking about getting my controller directly, without using Moq for these particular test, however, how do I mocks (or set) the HttpContext for my test without using any Moq framework?
I need to able to do something similar to this, without Moq of course:
var mockHttpContext = new Mock<ControllerContext>();
mockHttpContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name).Returns("n1\test");
mockHttpContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.Request.IsAuthenticated).Returns(true);
I am working on an ERP Application as a software Developer.
For security reasons, I want to display same url on web page's addressbar.
i.e. If user clicks on any internal link of application, URL shown in addressbar should not be changed.
It should be static like www.example.com for every page of the application.
I remember doing something like this in a CMS i used few years ago.. not sure what it was called or considered. Maybe its url aliasing, but not sure but here is what im trying to accomplish, based on the url / post data passed that a physical location is returned to our application.
So the url will always be unique to the request, but it will never be a valid url that will display anything..
The concept here is that we have the following structure.. We have the C# code that will initiate a HTTP request of a file (test.dat) IIS7 already has a handler setup for that file, when it receives that request, it does a DB lookup and returns the physically location on the server for our application to use.
So is there a way to send a fake http request to our server so that the custom handler is triggered Im not sure if i explained this correctly, but hopefully i did..
The application we are working on is a custom video playback app, IIS has been setup with the handler for the .dat file we are working with.. the video playback will need the entire physical path in order to play.. as far as the site is concerned, it just needs to initiate the request..
[URL] would be an exaple of the request.. but somehow passing along in the background video specific information in order to return the correct path.
We're migrating an application to use IIS7 integrated mode. In library code that is designed to work either within the context of an HTTP request or not, we commonly have code like this:
if (HttpContext.Current != null &&
HttpContext.Current.Request != null) {
// do something with HttpContext.Current.Request
} else {
// do equivalent thing without HttpContext..
}
But in IIS7 integrated mode the check for HttpContext.Current.Request throws an exception whenever this code is called from Application_Start.
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SomeLibrary.DoSomethingWithHttpContextCurrentDetection();
}
Results in:
System.Web.HttpException: Request is not available in this context
How can I detect whether the request is really available without wrapping these calls in an exception handler and taking action based on whether an exception is generated or not.
Looking at HttpContext in Reflector I see it has an internal bool HideRequestResponse field but it's internal so I can only get to it with reflection and that's fragile. Is there a more official/approved way to determine if it's ok to call HttpContext.Request?
This blog post about the subject says not to use HttpContext, but how, in generic library code, can you determine if it's ok to use HttpContext?
http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/11/10/Integrated-mode-Request-is-not-available-in-this-context-in-Application_5F00_Start.aspx
I'm using the work-around mentioned there which is to use Application_BeginRequest and an initialized field to only initialize once as part of BeginRequest, but that has to be done in every calling application whereas I'd prefer to make the library code more robust and handle this situation regardless of where it's called from.
I'm using VSTS 2K8 and I've set up a Unit Test Project. In it, I have a test class with a method that does a simple assertion. I'm using an Excel 2007 spreadsheet as my data source.
My test method looks like this:
[Code]....
As indicated in the method decoration attributes, my Excel spreadsheet is on my local C:/ Drive. In it, the sheet where all of my data is located is named "Sheet1".I've copied the Excel spreadsheet into my project and I've set its Build Action = "Content" and I've set its Copy to Output Directory = "Copy if Newer".
When trying to run this simple unit test, I receive the following error:
The unit test adapter failed to connect to the data source or to read the data. For more information on troubleshooting this error, see "Troubleshooting Data-Driven Unit Tests" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=62412) in the MSDN Library. Error details: ERROR [42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
I've verified that the sheet name is spelled correctly (i.e. Sheet1) and I've verified that my data sources are set correctly.Web searches haven't turned up much at all.

I have this in my HTML email to track if someone views the email in say Outlook.
<img src="http://www.example.com/track.ashx?user=3434" />
but this doesn't seem to work.Should I change my headers in the .ashx to server image headers? Can this work using this method?
I emailed myself with an email, other images displayed properly. There was no log in the database for the handler (the handler logs all requests to the db). Calling the URL to the file in the browser logs to the db, so its working.
I have been experimenting with code that will clear all of the cookies in an HttpContext.Response.Initially, I used this:
DateTime cookieExpires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
for (int i = 0; i < HttpContext.Request.Cookies.Count; i++)
{
HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(
new HttpCookie(HttpContext.Request.Cookies[i].Name, null) { Expires = cookieExpires });
}
this will error with an OutOfMemoryException because the for loop never exits - each time you add a cookie to the Response, it also gets added to the `Request.
i'm using an example in which i can fake the session.It's for use in a unittest of a mvc controller.In the test i create a controller and then i do this:
FakeHttpContext httpctx = new FakeHttpContext(null,null,null,null,mSessionItems );
ControllerContext ctx2 = new ControllerContext(httpctx,new RouteData(), target);
here mSessionItems is my session and target is my instance of a controller,and indeed, when i'm in a controller reading this.ControllerContext.HttpContext.Session, i have a session, great!but.... i also read the session outside the controller, and there i use HttpContext.Current.Session, and that is null (or actualy, the HttpContext.Current is null).
I made a small program which tests a set of url's and checks if they get redirected to another set of urls. Now this program has been working fine till I got a few urls which are of the form [URL] Now the problem occurs when I have a url with "//" not the http://, whenever I use any url with "//" it produces the error The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine. If I test the same in the browser it loads the page, but I cannot check the same throught the application. If I remove the "/" then it should work, but then the site wont load.
View 2 RepliesAt my previous job we had VS 2008 Team Edition which included the ability to do web tests and load testing right in VS. Currently the company I'm at has VS 2010 Professional but we are thinking of upgrading to Premium, but this still leaves us without the built in Web Testing/Load Testing ability directly in VS.
I'm going to talk to my IT Director and see if they might be willing to go for ultimate, but I need to know first if any off-the-shelf products can fill this hole as the cost is almost double for the Ultimate edition of VS 2010.I really like the testing abilities in 2008 that I worked with, but really just need some of the similar functionality. The ability to record a test and then group a series of tests together, see the HTPP values and results, possibly the ability to do data driven tests and DEFINITELY the need for load testing.
On a MVC 3 Preview Web Application I am using the following:

I have written some database integration tests in the format of MS unit test. If I run each test, it runs fine. If I run 2 integration tests, it runs fine. However, if I runs 3 or more test at the same time, one test will show "In Progress", and other shows "Pending", basically, it does not make any progress at all, stays there forever. I turned on SQL Server Profiler, it does not show the test hit the database at all.
Here are some examples of my method:

But I have other tests that are essentially deployment tests (you can't test how the production deployment went using a unit test on a build server) and I'd like to use the nUnit framework to run these.But, the production server doesn't have the nUnit command line executer. I'm only allowed to run aspx pages and reference .dll's in bin.What do I need to do to run tests (yeah, yeah, they're not really unit tests--relax) using nUnit in a webpage? Is there a straight forward way to do this, or does this essentially require porting the nUnit winforms test runner to ASP.NET?
