  1. POWhy are my Outbound URLs in NUnit different from the ones in my View?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm reading Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework book. In an example on 106 - 111 the author walks through creating an NUnit test for a HTMLHelper class.</p> <p>I noticed that when I ran my HTMLHelper code in NUnit the links appeared like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="Page1"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="selected" href="Page2"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="Page3"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when I see them in the View they look like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="/"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="selected" href="/Page2"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="/Page3"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Here's my route code:</strong></p> <pre><code>routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( null, "", new { controller = "Products", action = "List", page = 1 } ); routes.MapRoute( null, "Page{page}", new {controller = "Products",action="List"}, new {page=@"\d+" } ); </code></pre> <p><strong>Helper code</strong></p> <pre><code>public static string PageLinks(this HtmlHelper html, int currentPage, int totalPages, Func&lt;int, string&gt; pageUrl) { StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 1; i &lt;= totalPages; i++) { TagBuilder tag = new TagBuilder("a"); tag.MergeAttribute("href", pageUrl(i)); tag.InnerHtml = i.ToString(); if (i == currentPage) tag.AddCssClass("selected"); result.AppendLine(tag.ToString()); } return result.ToString(); } </code></pre> <p><strong>View Code</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;%= Html.PageLinks(2,3,i=&gt;Url.Action("List",new {page=i})) %&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>test code</strong></p> <pre><code>string links = ((HtmlHelper)null).PageLinks(2, 3, i =&gt; "Page" + i); Assert.AreEqual(@"&lt;a href=""Page1""&gt;1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=""selected"" href=""Page2""&gt;2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=""Page3""&gt;3&lt;/a&gt; ", links); </code></pre> <p>I understand that the urls are created based on information in my routing table so I'm not sure why the links would be different. <strong>Does NUnit not have the same perspective that the view does and thus creates different links? How can I get NUnit to generate the same exact links my View does?</strong></p>
