I am trying to implement Dependency Injection in Xunit test for AppService. Ideal goal is to run the original application program Startup/configuration, and use any dependency injection that was in Startup, instead of reinitializing all the DI again in my test, thats the whole Goal in question.
Update: Mohsen's answer is close. Need to update couple syntax/requirement errors to work.
For some reason, original application works and can call Department App Service. However, it cannot call in Xunit. Finally got Testserver working using Startup and Configuration from original application. Now receiving error below:
Message: The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data: IDepartmentAppService departmentAppService
namespace Testing.IntegrationTests
{
public class DepartmentAppServiceTest
{
public DBContext context;
public IDepartmentAppService departmentAppService;
public DepartmentAppServiceTest(IDepartmentAppService departmentAppService)
{
this.departmentAppService = departmentAppService;
}
[Fact]
public async Task Get_DepartmentById_Are_Equal()
{
var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<SharedServicesContext>()
.UseInMemoryDatabase(databaseName: "TestDatabase")
.Options;
context = new DBContext(options);
TestServer _server = new TestServer(new WebHostBuilder()
.UseContentRoot("C:\\OriginalApplication")
.UseEnvironment("Development")
.UseConfiguration(new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath("C:\\OriginalApplication")
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
.Build()).UseStartup<Startup>());
context.Department.Add(new Department { DepartmentId = 2, DepartmentCode = "123", DepartmentName = "ABC" });
context.SaveChanges();
var departmentDto = await departmentAppService.GetDepartmentById(2);
Assert.Equal("123", departmentDto.DepartmentCode);
}
}
}
I am receiving this error:
Message: The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data: IDepartmentAppService departmentAppService
Need to use Dependency injection in testing just like real application. Original application does this. Answers below are not currently sufficient , one uses mocking which is not current goal, other answer uses Controller which bypass question purpose.
Note: IDepartmentAppService has dependency on IDepartmentRepository which is also injected in Startup class, and Automapper dependencies. This is why calling the whole startup class.

Use Custom Web Application Factory and ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService below, feel free to edit and optimize the answer
CustomWebApplicationFactory:
public class CustomWebApplicationFactory<TStartup> : WebApplicationFactory<TStartup> where TStartup : class
{
protected override void ConfigureWebHost(IWebHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.ConfigureAppConfiguration((hostingContext, configurationBuilder) =>
{
var type = typeof(TStartup);
var path = @"C:\\OriginalApplication";
configurationBuilder.AddJsonFile($"{path}\\appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
configurationBuilder.AddEnvironmentVariables();
});
// if you want to override Physical database with in-memory database
builder.ConfigureServices(services =>
{
var serviceProvider = new ServiceCollection()
.AddEntityFrameworkInMemoryDatabase()
.BuildServiceProvider();
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDBContext>(options =>
{
options.UseInMemoryDatabase("DBInMemoryTest");
options.UseInternalServiceProvider(serviceProvider);
});
});
}
}
Integration Test:
public class DepartmentAppServiceTest : IClassFixture<CustomWebApplicationFactory<OriginalApplication.Startup>>
{
public CustomWebApplicationFactory<OriginalApplication.Startup> _factory;
public DepartmentAppServiceTest(CustomWebApplicationFactory<OriginalApplication.Startup> factory)
{
_factory = factory;
_factory.CreateClient();
}
[Fact]
public async Task ValidateDepartmentAppService()
{
using (var scope = _factory.Server.Host.Services.CreateScope())
{
var departmentAppService = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IDepartmentAppService>();
var dbtest = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ApplicationDBContext>();
dbtest.Department.Add(new Department { DepartmentId = 2, DepartmentCode = "123", DepartmentName = "ABC" });
dbtest.SaveChanges();
var departmentDto = await departmentAppService.GetDepartmentById(2);
Assert.Equal("123", departmentDto.DepartmentCode);
}
}
}

When you are testing. You need to use mocking libraries or Inject your service directly on contructor ie.
public DBContext context;
public IDepartmentAppService departmentAppService;
/// Inject DepartmentAppService here
public DepartmentAppServiceTest(DepartmentAppService departmentAppService)
{
this.departmentAppService = departmentAppService;
}
