Asp.net MVC集成测试和websecurity

Question

I am developing an ASP.Net MVC 4 website and I would like to test it. In the controller that I would like to test, I call

WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount

and I have some logic around this call that I would like to test. So I test the whole action (and in the future, I will have to do it more than once).

So this is my test

[TestMethod]
        public void RegisterUser()
        {
            // Arrange
            var controller = new UserController("TestConnection");

            // Act
            var user= new UserModel()
            {
                MailAddressTemp = "dummyuser@gmail.com",
                Password = "password",
                ConfirmPassword = "password",
                FirstName = "firstname",
                LastName = "lastname",
            };
            TestHelper.ValidateViewModel(user, controller);
            if (!controller.ModelState.IsValid)
                Assert.Inconclusive("Model should be valid!");
            controller.Register(user);
            using (var context = new PatientDbContext("TestConnection"))
            {
                var userProfile = context.UserProfiles.FirstOrDefault(x => x.MailAddress == "dummyuser@gmail.com");
                Assert.IsNotNull(userProfile);
                Assert.AreEqual("dummyuser@gmail.com", WebSecurity.CurrentUserName);
                Assert.IsTrue(WebSecurity.UserExists("dummyuser@gmail.com"));
                WebSecurity.Logout();
                var islogged = WebSecurity.Login("dummyuser@gmail.com", "password");
                Assert.IsTrue(islogged);
            }
        }

My problem is that I have an exception when I want to use

WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount

This is the exception

To call this method, the "Membership.Provider" property must be an instance of "ExtendedMembershipProvider"

I will need to use WebSecurity in my future tests. I'm from the WPF world and in my integration test, I was able to start an application container and test it from the unit test solution. Here, it looks like the web application is not started when I run the tests and I don't know how to do it.

My questions:

How can I use WebSecurity in my test solution and solve the exception?

How can I start my application so that all objects are loaded like in a live application and test my actions from the code in the unit tests?

I don't want a browser. I want to be able to do something like

StartApp()
var result = MyController.Action(params)//My action uses WebSecurity for instance
Assert.IsTrue(something from result)

Any help will be helpful! Thank you!

Answer 1

You'd better to create decorator around static methods of WebSecurity class. You will be able to mock it and isolave your controller core. For example:

public interface IWebSecurity
{
    bool CreateUserAndAccount(....);
}

public class MyWebSecurity: IWebSecurity
{
    public bool CreateUserAndAccount(...)
    {
        WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(...);
    }
}

in your test code you will be able to do (using Moq test framework):

var webSecurity=new Mock<IWebSecurity>();
var controller = new UserController("TestConnection", webSecurity.Object);

I found part of the solution here . I needed to add this in my app.config in my test solution

<system.web>
    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SimpleRoleProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="SimpleRoleProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleRoleProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
      </providers>
    </roleManager>
    <membership defaultProvider="SimpleMembershipProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="SimpleMembershipProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
      </providers>
    </membership>
    <sessionState mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider">
      <providers>
        <add name="DefaultSessionProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultSessionStateProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" />
      </providers>
    </sessionState>
  </system.web>

Before my tests, I had to call

    WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "MailAddress", autoCreateTables: true);

You must add WebMatrix.webData and WebMtrix.Data in reference in your test project and set "Copy local" to true
