here Im trying to write a test can I mock a HttpRequestBase to return post values like this? please help as its quite urgent, how can I acheive this?
var collection = new NameValueCollection();
collection.Add("Id", "1");
collection.Add("UserName", "");
[code]...
So I've got this method called LoginUser:
public void LoginUser(out SystemUser userToLogin, string username)
Having just started with Rhino Mocks, I'm having a little trouble mocking a call and return value from this method while testing my Presenter code. What's the correct syntax in this instance?
I'm writing unit tests in ASP.NET 4.0 web application (ASP.NET Forms, not MVC). There are several spots in the code where I call the ServerVariables collection to call variables like REMOTE_ADDR. Since my unit tests do not actually initiate HttpRequests when executing my code, things like ServerVariables are Null and therefore error when I try to call HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
All the solutions I've found to address this issue refer to MVC and so they assume that HttpRequest derives from HttpRequestBase, which it does in MVC but not in ASP.NET Forms.I tried using Moq but you can't mock a sealed class, and HttpRequest is unfortunately sealed with no interface.
I will like to add Rhino Service Bus to my ASP.NET web application but using Ninject as the DI Container. So far all examples I keep seeing use Castle Windsor which I don't want to use since we already use Ninject.Are there any tutorials out there which show how to add Rhino Service Bus to an ASP.NET web application without a direct dependency on Castle Windsor (e.g. using Ninject)?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to unit test the logOn method of my .Net 4.0 MVC application. I'm pretty sure I need to mock a bunch of objects because I don't want to hit the actual database and I only want to simulate an HTTPcontext in a limited and specific way (if I have to do it at all). All the examples I've found online use mocking frameworks like Moq, RinoMocks or nMock. MVC is all about Test Driven Development, there must be some way to do simple tests without using third party software.
The specific problem,The basic problem is that the controller I'm testing calls Response.Cookies.Add(...) but since the unit test is not in an HTTPContext, Response is null and I get an exception.
My research so far,I understand there is a layer of abstraction which will help me somehow. For example HttpResponse inherits from HttpResponseBase. I think I'm supposed to make a class that inherits from one of the MVC base classes, overload some of the members and then
call the method I want to test in a way that gives it my object instead of one it would normally use.
The question is how to do that. One would need to set up existing code with the ability to construct future versions of objects. Intuitively however, it would seem that existing code could only be and use functionality that existed at the time it was written.
Fortunately, a dynamic runtime means that the code which is actually run can be determined things that change after it is written like config files and HTTP headers.
One way to do that is for the existing code to use some method typically referred to as a factory that takes a string and returns an instance of an object.I conclude that I should look through the code for this factory and figure out how to manipulate it.
My background,I've recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science. Now at my new job, I've been assigned to write unit tests for a large project. Admittedly, I'm new to MVC, many aspects of C# and large projects in general. I may have made simple mistakes or incorrect assumptions in my analysis of this problem. I will do my best to stay active on this post and make it useful for others in situations similar to mine.
I am looking for some guidance

View 1 RepliesI need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication.I've been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context for code that deals with the HttpContext. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the DI pattern as well. (Give the class an attribute of type IRepository and then pass in a Repository object when you instantiate the controller.)
What I don't understand, however, is the proper way to Mock the Windows Principal object available through User.Identity. Is this part of the HttpContext? have a link to an article that demonstrates this (or a recommendation for a book)?
We have to ASP.NET applications, one in 1.1 and one in 3.5. In order to log our errors in the same location we are going to create a WebService that the 1.1 app can call. If I include an HttpRequest as one of the parameters to the webservice, will there be a versioning problem?
View 1 RepliesI'll be starting a complete re-write of a system in the coming weeks. I'll be using ASP.NET MVC 2.I'm still trying to determine what I should be using as far as TDD, mocking, and IOC is concerned. I was thinking:
VSTEST for writing my TDD tests (or possibly nUnit) Moq as my mocking framework (for creating doubles and fakes) Moq for IOC development Not sure exactly what the ideal setup should be and I'm continuing to research what's available. I'd like some feedback from the community on the most optimal toolsets for TDD, mocking, and IOC.
I'm looking for as comprehensive as possible of a mock replacement and wrapper for the ASP.NET HttpContext in my applications. A comprehensive mock replacement could potentially increase the testability of my ASP.NET web applications substantially, without necessitating migrating every application to more-testable frameworks such as MVC.
Some of the features I am most interested in seeing in an HttpContext wrapper and mock framework include:
Serialized session storage (e.g., .Session).
Serialized application-scoped storage (e.g., .Application).
Per-request item storage (e.g., .Items).
HttpRequest data, such as referrers, request Uri, server variables, post data, etc.
HttpResponse data, such as status codes and content.
Local file resolution (e.g. Server.MapPath)
VirtualPathUtility for application-relative URL path resolution, which has a dependency on the ASP.NET runtime.The identity and principal (e.g., .User) for validating authentication/authorization rules.The AllErrors collection for testing error resolution in HttpModules and Global.asax.I considered writing my own interface, wrapper, and mock; however, I believe such must already exist. The variety of mock frameworks is a little overwhelming for a first-timer to absorb.
What is the most comprehensive HttpContext wrapper and mock?
I've see n a lot of discussions surrounding HttpSessionState and asp.net MVC.I'm trying to write tests for an asp.net application and to mock the HttpSessionState and if so, how?I'm currently using Rhino Mocks and Nunit
View 1 RepliesI'm want to run a "background job" in my ASP.NET application (periodically, as separate thread). And I need host name (DNS name or IP) to do my tasks. The problem - HttpContext.Current may be not available here (it's NULL).
Is there any way to get a host name in not using HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host.
Microsoft Ajax can expose webservices which respond with json or xml depending on configuration. I would like to mock these services using soap ui. Using the wsdl I can do this to mock the services in the case where xml is returned, however how can I mock the response when JSON is returned?
View 1 RepliesI have a class which I store in session. Lets say Class A, having an attribute theList. I have a member function that adds an item to theList and returns the count of my list.So I mock my class and set theList to "1,2,3" for my unit test, and test my add function by adding "4".
It returns count "3" instead of "4".
I'm going to try to use the WebClient object in .NET to grab the response querystring values sent back by the resource.
I'm familiar with grabbing xml, json, etc. but typically I haven't worked with many NVP type of APIs in terms of grabbing the query immediately from an response sent back from a resource server-side. So how is a query sent back, in the body of a response, header, what? How do you grab it, with the stream object just like you do anything else? This questions relates to the environment I work in C# but really it relates to the web as a whole as well which is why I tagged this in multiple categories as a Request/Response is not MS specific however I am also at the same time trying to utilize the .NET WebClient object.
I have a page web method, and I need to get access to the headers, and particularly the uploaded files. Is this possible? Can a web method receive a file?If not, what would you recommend to upload files without post back? I am using the jQuery forms library that has support for this (and I have had it working with Django), however, I am having a hard time finding answers on how to do this with ASP.NET.
View 2 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'm creating HttpContext "by hands" (see [URL]. Does somebody know how can I populate HttpRequest.Browser class's properties (the HttpRequest.Browser.Browser one)? Unfortunately, the HttpBrowserCapabilities class has no the appropriate setter and adding the corresponding http header to the request gives no result.
View 1 RepliesI have a form on an HTML page that a user needs to use to upload a file which posts to an ASPX page. In the code behind, I want to test if a file has actually been loaded.
if (Request.Files.Count > 0)
{
DoStuff(Request.Files[0]);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("A CSV file must be selected for upload.");
}
I am never getting to the else. Is this just how ASP.NET operates? If I have a input element of type file, is it always going to upload a "file" even if one is not selected? What's the proper way to do this? Maybe this?
if (Request.Files.Count > 0 && Request.Files[0].ContentLength > 0)
{
DoStuff(Request.Files[0]);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("A CSV file must be selected for upload.");
}
I'm trying to fix an issue with an application I'm supporting (I didn't write the code). The code takes an SSRS report and renders it in pdf format.

I read that the default length limit is 4MB. None of the reports by themselves are even over 350K. I'm wondering if this could be caused by a caching issue. I'm not an expert, so I need some guidance as to how best to solve the problem. I also want to understand why the issue is happening. note that only 2 reports are shown in the snippet - there are about 30+ reports in the full sub. edit - I tried the proposed solution, but it didn't help (I also tried the Fiddler route, but did not see anything glaring). I thought it might be best to clarify. The reports will run fine for a while, but the execution time gradually gets slower and slower until the application eventually displays the error.
The HttpRequest class defines two properties:
HttpMethod:
Gets the HTTP data transfer method (such as GET, POST, or HEAD) used by the client.
public string HttpMethod { get; }
The HTTP data transfer method used by the client.
and RequestType:
Gets or sets the HTTP data transfer method (GET or POST) used by the client. public string RequestType { get; set; } A string representing the HTTP invocation type sent by the client.What is the difference between these two properties? When would i want to use one over the other? Which is the proper one to inspect to see what data transfer method was used by the client?The documentation indicates that HttpMethod will return whatever verb was used: such as GET, POST, or HEAD while the documentation on RequestType seems to indicate only one of two possible values: i test with a random sampling of verbs, and both properties seem to support all verbs, and both return the same values:
Testing:
Client Used HttpMethod RequestType
GET GET GET
POST POST POST
HEAD HEAD HEAD
CONNECT CONNECT CONNECT
MKCOL MKCOL MKCOL
PUT PUT PUT
FOOTEST FOOTEST FOOTEST
What is the difference between:
HttpRequest.HttpMethod
HttpRequest.RequestType
and when should i use one over the other? Keywords: iis asp.net http httprequest httphandler
Is there a way to get the raw response header and body from the HttpRequest.Response object for debugging when issues arrise?
