POCross Process Mocking in ASP.NET
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm building a REST API using ASP.NET MVC 3. I'm doing it BDD-style using <a href="http://www.specflow.org/" rel="nofollow">SpecFlow</a> with NUnit as test runner.</p> <p>Since it's a REST API, testing the Url:s are obviously very important so I want to be able to make real HTTP calls in the specs. </p> <p>I'm now looking for tips on how to get Cross Process Mocking going. In short I want to mock the data layer with entities that I generate in the Specs. </p> <p>In a Rails application I would use Webrat for this. Is there anything equivalent to that in .NET yet? </p> <p>I've already tried <a href="http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/03/09/deleporter-cross-process-code-injection-for-aspnet/" rel="nofollow">Deleporter</a> but it doesn't seem to be able to "send" advanced constructs (Creating a simple string in the specs and using it in Deleporter works, but doesn't for a custom class the properties all becomes null)</p> <p>Does anyone have experiences or tips on how to do this?</p> <p>Edit: What I was trying do to in Deleporter was something like this (I am aware that i could generate the models inside the Deleporter code but this is a simplified example, so that wouldn't work for me):</p> <pre><code>var models = Builder<Foo>.CreateListOfSize(300); Deleporter.Run(() => { var mockService = new Mock<IFooService>(); // Models will be a list of 300 Foos but the foos properties will all be null mockService.Setup(s => s.GetStuff()).Returns(models); ObjectFactory.Inject(mockService.Object); }); </code></pre>
