Step-by-Step Guide
Example
- Let's say you have a function
GetUserById that retrieves a user from the database by their ID.
// UserService.cs
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
public class UserService
{
private readonly DbContext _context;
public UserService(DbContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
public User GetUserById(int userId)
{
return _context.Set<User>().FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == userId);
}
}
- Now, let's create a unit test for this function using a mock database.
// UserServiceTests.cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Moq;
using Xunit;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
public class UserServiceTests
{
[Fact]
public void GetUserById_ReturnsUser()
{
// Arrange
var mockSet = new Mock<DbSet<User>>();
var mockContext = new Mock<DbContext>();
var user = new User { Id = 1, Name = "John Doe" };
var data = new List<User> { user }.AsQueryable();
mockSet.As<IQueryable<User>>().Setup(m => m.Provider).Returns(data.Provider);
mockSet.As<IQueryable<User>>().Setup(m => m.Expression).Returns(data.Expression);
mockSet.As<IQueryable<User>>().Setup(m => m.ElementType).Returns(data.ElementType);
mockSet.As<IQueryable<User>>().Setup(m => m.GetEnumerator()).Returns(data.GetEnumerator());
mockContext.Setup(c => c.Set<User>()).Returns(mockSet.Object);
var service = new UserService(mockContext.Object);
// Act
var result = service.GetUserById(1);
// Assert
Assert.Equal(user, result);
}
}
