Load JSON string to HttpRequestMessage
40,000
[TestClass]
public class ShoppingCartControllerTests {
[TestMethod]
public void TestCourseSchedule() {
//Arrange
var sr = new ScheduleRequest();
sr.Months = null;
sr.States = null;
sr.Zip = null;
sr.Miles = null;
sr.PCodes = null;
sr.PageStart = 1;
sr.PageLimit = 10;
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(sr);
//construct content to send
var content = new System.Net.Http.StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var request = new HttpRequestMessage {
RequestUri = new Uri("http://localhost/api/shoppingcart"),
Content = content
};
var controller = new ShoppingCartController();
//Set a fake request. If your controller creates responses you will need this
controller.Request = request;
//Act
// Call the controller method and test if the return data is correct.
var response = controller.CourseSchedule(request) as OkNegotiatedContentResult<List<EventSyncResponse>> ;
//Assert
//...other asserts
}
}
But I get the impression that your Action should actually be refactored like this in your controller
public class ShoppingCartController : ApiController {
public IHttpActionResult CourseSchedule(ScheduleRequest model) { ... }
}
which would mean that your isolated unit test should be refactored to...
[TestClass]
public class ShoppingCartControllerTests {
[TestMethod]
public void TestCourseSchedule() {
//Arrange
var sr = new ScheduleRequest();
sr.Months = null;
sr.States = null;
sr.Zip = null;
sr.Miles = null;
sr.PCodes = null;
sr.PageStart = 1;
sr.PageLimit = 10;
var controller = new ShoppingCartController();
//Set a fake request. If your controller creates responses you will need this
controller.Request = new HttpRequestMessage {
RequestUri = new Uri("http://localhost/api/shoppingcart"),
};
//Act
// Call the controller method and test if the return data is correct.
var response = controller.CourseSchedule(sr) as OkNegotiatedContentResult<List<EventSyncResponse>> ;;
//Assert
//...
}
}

I'm writing some tests for my WebAPI web service and cannot figure out how to send JSON to my service method in the test.
ScheduleRequest sr = new ScheduleRequest(); sr.Months = null; sr.States = null; sr.Zip = null; sr.Miles = null; sr.PCodes = null; sr.PageStart = 1; sr.PageLimit = 10; HttpRequestMessage m = new HttpRequestMessage(); string sr_ = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(sr); // How do I load it into the HttpRequestMessage??? // m.Content. = sr_; var controller = new ShoppingCartController(); // Call the controlelr method and test if the return data is correct. EventSyncResponse res = (EventSyncResponse)controller.CourseSchedule(m);
Am I doing this correctly, too?
Controller Code:
public object CourseSchedule(ScheduleRequest request) { try { var result = cart.GetCourseSchedule(request); return Ok(result); } catch (Exception ex) { if (ex.Message.StartsWith(@"ORA-20001")) { return Ok(new ParticipantResponse { FirstName = "No record found" }); } throw ex; } }
