初始化查询类型Ef核心2.1的数据

Question

I'm using InMemory database to test my repository logic. But I have this report database view model.

public DbQuery<DBVIEWMODEL> Reports { get; set; }

The thing is, I can't initialize it with dummy data for my unit test. There is no such thing like, Add, AddRange...

So my question; am I allowed to initialize this Query type? Or Query type is not meant for unit test?

FYI:

I can do my unit test, if I change DbQuery<> to DbSet<> and set a dummy Id in my view using ROW_NUMBER() .

Answer 1

My answer is no. A DbSet is a set of data that can be edited, added or deleted. But DbQuery represents a query OVER a set of data, there are no C_UD operation (Create, Update, Delete).
