I'm using ServiceStack / StructureMap / Moq. The service makes a call to Session, which is type ServiceStack.CacheAccess.ISession. For unit tests, I created a Mock object using Moq, and added it to the StructureMap configuration:
protected Mock<ISession> sessionMock = new Mock<ISession>();
ObjectFactory.Configure(
cfg =>
{
cfg.For<ISession>().Use(sessionMock.Object);
However, I was not surprised when the Session object was null -- I'm pretty sure I'm leaving out a step. What else do I need to do to fill my Session property with a mock object?
[EDIT] Here's a simple test scenario
Code to test. Simple request / service
[Route("getKey/{key}")]
public class MyRequest:IReturn<string>
{
public string Key { get; set; }
}
public class MyService:Service
{
public string Get(MyRequest request)
{
return (string) Session[request.Key];
}
}
The base test class and MockSession classes
// test base class
public abstract class MyTestBase : TestBase
{
protected IRestClient Client { get; set; }
protected override void Configure(Container container)
{
// this code is never reached under any of my scenarios below
container.Adapter = new StructureMapContainerAdapter();
ObjectFactory.Initialize(
cfg =>
{
cfg.For<ISession>().Singleton().Use<MockSession>();
});
}
}
public class MockSession : ISession
{
private Dictionary<string, object> m_SessionStorage = new Dictionary<string, object>();
public void Set<T>(string key, T value)
{
m_SessionStorage[key] = value;
}
public T Get<T>(string key)
{
return (T)m_SessionStorage[key];
}
public object this[string key]
{
get { return m_SessionStorage[key]; }
set { m_SessionStorage[key] = value; }
}
}
And tests. See comments for where I'm seeing the failure. I didn't really expect versions 1 & 2 to work, but hoped version 3 would.
[TestFixture]
public class When_getting_a_session_value:MyTestBase
{
[Test]
public void Test_version_1()
{
var session = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<MockSession>();
session["key1"] = "Test";
var request = new MyRequest {Key = "key1"};
var client = new MyService(); // generally works fine, except for things like Session
var result = client.Get(request); // throws NRE inside MyService
result.ShouldEqual("Test");
}
[Test]
public void Test_version_2()
{
var session = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<MockSession>();
session["key1"] = "Test";
var request = new MyRequest {Key = "key1"};
var client = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<MyService>();
var result = client.Get(request); // throws NRE inside MyService
result.ShouldEqual("Test");
}
[Test]
public void Test_version_3()
{
var session = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<MockSession>();
session["key1"] = "Test";
var request = new MyRequest {Key = "key1"};
var client = CreateNewRestClient();
var result = client.Get(request); // throws NotImplementedException here
result.ShouldEqual("Test");
}
}
It looks like you're trying to create unit tests, but you're using an AppHost like you wound an Integration test. See this previous answer for differences between the two and docs on Testing.
You can mock the Session by registering an instance in Request.Items[Keywords.Session]
, e.g:
[Test]
public void Can_mock_IntegrationTest_Session_with_Request()
{
using var appHost = new BasicAppHost(typeof(MyService).Assembly).Init();
var req = new MockHttpRequest();
req.Items[Keywords.Session] = new AuthUserSession {
UserName = "Mocked"
};
using var service = HostContext.ResolveService<MyService>(req);
Assert.That(service.GetSession().UserName, Is.EqualTo("Mocked"));
}
Otherwise if you set AppHost.TestMode=true
ServiceStack will return the IAuthSession
that's registered in your IOC, e.g:
[Test]
public void Can_mock_UnitTest_Session_with_IOC()
{
using var appHost = new BasicAppHost
{
TestMode = true,
ConfigureContainer = container =>
{
container.Register<IAuthSession>(c => new AuthUserSession {
UserName = "Mocked",
});
}
}.Init();
var service = new MyService {
Request = new MockHttpRequest()
};
Assert.That(service.GetSession().UserName, Is.EqualTo("Mocked"));
}
