    <p>I'm writing specflow tests using Watin, for an Asp.Net MVC application which uses T4MVC.</p> <p>I find myself using "magic string" urls in the tests, which I don't like.</p> <pre><code>[Given(@"I am on the sign up page")] public void GivenIAmOnTheSignUpPage() { string rootUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RootUrl"]; string fullUrl = string.Format("{0}/Authentication/Signup",rootUrl); WebBrowser.Current.GoTo(fullUrl); } </code></pre> <p>I would much rather use my T4MVC Action Results like I do in the MVC App, something like this...</p> <pre><code>[Given(@"I am on the sign up page")] public void GivenIAmOnTheSignUpPage() { WebBrowser.Current.GoTo(MVC.Authentication.SignUp().ToAbsoluteUrl()); } </code></pre> <p>My <code>ToAbsoluteUrl</code> Extension Method</p> <pre><code>public static class RouteHelper { private static UrlHelper _urlHelper; private static string _rootUrl; public static string ToAbsoluteUrl(this ActionResult result) { EnsureUrlHelperInitialized(); var relativeUrl = _urlHelper.Action(result); return string.Format("{0}/{1}", _rootUrl, relativeUrl); } private static void EnsureUrlHelperInitialized() { if (_urlHelper==null) { _rootUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RootUrl"]; var request = new HttpRequest("/", _rootUrl, ""); var response = new HttpResponse(new StringWriter()); var context = new HttpContext(request,response); HttpContext.Current = context; var httpContextBase = new HttpContextWrapper(context); RouteTable.Routes.Clear(); MvcApplication.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); var requestContext = new RequestContext(httpContextBase, RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(httpContextBase)); _urlHelper = new UrlHelper(requestContext, RouteTable.Routes); } } } </code></pre> <p>What is the correct way to initialize the RequestContext and RouteCollection so that I can generate my test URLs?</p> <p>Currently I receive a NullReferenceException on the line <code>var requestContext = new RequestContext(httpContextBase, RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(httpContextBase));</code>. Is that the right way to new up a requestContext?</p> <p>Or if there is a better way to take an ActionResult (from T4MVC) and resolve it to an absolute url, outside of a web app, that's really what I'm looking for.</p>

    3. CONo, I was wondering so I could customize my answer. I'm not sure what the xunit equivalents are for [TestClass] and [AssemblyInitialize], but imagine its not hard to find out.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
