用Authorize属性修饰的单元测试操作

Question

I have simple asp.net mvc application which uses custom membership and role provider . After setting all in place I use [Authorize] inside controller actions to allow/deny access to certain user groups. Now I want to move further and try to unit test every controller which uses [Authorize] attribute.

I was thinking to use Unity Ioc and Moq. Any good suggestion from where to start, basic steps with some code examples or tutorials to share?

Thanks

Answer 1

I would suggest the below approach. Basically you can write a Unit test to ensure your action is decorated with the [Authorize] attribute.

See my blog post for more information. This approach should work nicely with your Unit Test.

Answer 2

I answered this in another thread - the blog post link above is "ok", but I wanted to test the actual attribute on the actual controller I was testing:
