NUnit与ASP.NET网站

Question

I'm currently trying to upgrade our build server at work, going from having no build server to having one!

I'm using JetBrains' TeamCity (having used ReSharper for a couple of years I trust their stuff), and intend to use NUnit and MSBuild .

However, I've come up with an issue: it appears that it is not possible to test an ASP.NET web site with NUnit. I had assumed it would be possible to configure it to test App_Code after a build, however it seems that the only way to do tests nicely is through converting the web site to a web application (which my boss does not like the idea of).

How could I go about this?

Please bear in mind that the testing needs to be able to be fired automatically from TeamCity.

Answer 1

• If you want to smoke test your site, or bang on some endpoints - see the code below.

• If, on the other hand, you want to test the untestable (detestable) ASP.NET website assembly (as opposed to a web app), you are, as they say in France, SOL

The assembly is a randomly named dynamically compiled assembly deep in the bowels of the framework temporary ASP.NET files, making testing close to impossible.

You really do need to consider a couple of options:

1. place the logic that needs testing in a seperate assembly.
2. change to a web application project that delivers a testable assembly.

Sorry, I don't think that you will find what you are looking for, but I could be wrong. Let's see.

Good Luck

I wrote a wrapper for WebHost.WebServer.dll which is the core of the development server that works quite well in CI . I use it all the time.

Here is a scaled down version including a usage example.

Test.cs

using System.Net;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace Salient.Excerpts
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class WebHostServerFixture : WebHostServer
    {
        [TestFixtureSetUp]
        public void TestFixtureSetUp()
        {
            // debug/bin/testproject/solution/siteundertest - make sense?
            StartServer(@"..\..\..\..\TestSite");

            // is the equivalent of
            // StartServer(@"..\..\..\..\TestSite",
            // GetAvailablePort(8000, 10000, IPAddress.Loopback, true), "/", "localhost");
        }
        [TestFixtureTearDown]
        public void TestFixtureTearDown()
        {
            StopServer();
        }

        [Test]
        public void Test()
        {
            // while a reference to the web app under test is not necessary,
            // if you do add a reference to this test project you may F5 debug your tests.
            // if you debug this test you will break in Default.aspx.cs
            string html = new WebClient().DownloadString(NormalizeUri("Default.aspx"));
        }
    }
}

NOTE: The Microsoft.VisualStudio.WebHost namespace is contained in the file WebDev.WebHost.dll . This file is in the GAC, but it is not possible to add a reference to this assembly from within Visual Studio.

To add a reference you will need to open your .csproj file in a text editor and add the reference manually.

Look for the ItemGroup that contains the project references and add the following element:

<Reference Include="WebDev.WebHost, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=x86">
  <Private>False</Private>
</Reference>
