我有一个依赖于来自Windows.Web.Http(Windows 10 UAP App)的HttpClient的类。我想进行单元测试,因此我需要"模拟" HttpClient设置Get-Call应返回的内容。我开始使用"简单"使用手写模拟的IHttpFilter和IHttpContent使用HttpClient进行单元测试。它没有按预期工作,我在Test-Explorer中得到了InvalidCastException。

单元测试如下:

    [TestMethod]
    public async Task TestMockedHttpFilter()
    {
        MockedHttpContent mockedContent = new MockedHttpContent("Content from MockedHttpContent");
        MockedHttpFilter mockedHttpFilter = new MockedHttpFilter(HttpStatusCode.Ok, mockedContent);

        HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(mockedHttpFilter);
        var resultContentTask = await httpClient.SendRequestAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, new Uri("http://dontcare.ch"))).AsTask().ConfigureAwait(false);
        // Test stops here, throwing System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid

        // Code not reached...
        var result = await resultContentTask.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Assert.AreEqual("Content from MockedHttpContent", result);
    }

我在MockedHttpFilter中实现了IHttpFilter:

public class MockedHttpFilter : IHttpFilter
{
    private HttpStatusCode _statusCode;
    private IHttpContent _content;

    public MockedHttpFilter(HttpStatusCode statusCode, IHttpContent content)
    {
        _statusCode = statusCode;
        _content = content;
    }

    public IAsyncOperationWithProgress<HttpResponseMessage, HttpProgress> SendRequestAsync(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        return AsyncInfo.Run<HttpResponseMessage, HttpProgress>((token, progress) =>
        Task.Run<HttpResponseMessage>(()=>
        {
            HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(_statusCode);
            response.Content = _content;
            return response; // Exception thrown after return, but not catched by code/debugger...
        }));
    }
}

我在MockedHttpContent中实现了IHttpContent:

public class MockedHttpContent : IHttpContent
{
    private string _contentToReturn;

    public MockedHttpContent(string contentToReturn)
    {
        _contentToReturn = contentToReturn;
    }

    public HttpContentHeaderCollection Headers
    {
        get
        {
            return new HttpContentHeaderCollection();
        }
    }

    public IAsyncOperationWithProgress<string, ulong> ReadAsStringAsync()
    {
        return AsyncInfo.Run<string, ulong>((token, progress) => Task.Run<string>(() =>
        {
            return _contentToReturn;
        }));
    }
}

Test-Explorer结果视图中的错误:

首先,不确定为什么抛出异常/我做错了什么。也许有人可以指出我正确的方向或暗示下一步检查/测试什么?

第二,是否有更好的方法来使用HttpClient依赖(Windows 10 UAP)对代码进行单元测试?

答案 0 :(得分:1)

你的单元测试没有意义,你并没有真正测试你的类,而是你试图测试HttpClient类。我会假设一些事情,因为我们在你的问题中没有测试方法;我假设您执行以下操作:

public async Task<MyCustomClass> MethodUnderTest()
{
    // ...

    using (var client = new HttpClient(...))
    {
        // ...

        var json = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        return JsonConvert.Deserialize<MyCustomClass>(json);
    }
}

如果是这种情况,那么您必须了解您的类不接受某些依赖项。您可以更改类,以便注入每个外部依赖项,但这可能是一个轻微的矫枉过正......您真的希望任何消耗和实例化您的类的人必须向您提供HttpClient吗?所以,更好的选择是使用一个模拟框架,它可以模拟一个具体类的依赖;大多数模拟框架都可以处理模拟接口(这些很容易),但很少有人可以处理模拟具体类。

我建议使用的框架是Microsoft Fakes框架。 Microsoft Fakes支持Shims(隔离)和Stubs(Mocks)。隔离是控制具体类的成员调用所需的。

那么,根据我的例子,需要控制哪些成员?

  1. HttpResponseMessage.Content_Get
  2. HttpContent.ReadAsStringAsync
  3. 我认为您不需要改变JsonConvert.Deserialize<T>()成员的行为,但如果您愿意,也可以。微软Fakes框架起初有点令人生畏,但是一旦你开始使用它并使其工作,它将变得更容易使用。或者,您可以使用其他支持隔离的框架:

    • 来自Telerik的JustMock
    • TypeMock Isolator

    也许其他人存在,我不熟悉他们。

答案 1 :(得分:0)

您似乎未使用与AsTask的返回值匹配的httpClient.SendRequestAsync(...)重载

尝试更改此

var resultContentTask = await httpClient.SendRequestAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, new Uri("http://dontcare.ch"))).AsTask().ConfigureAwait(false);

到这个

var resultContentTask = await httpClient.SendRequestAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, new Uri("http://dontcare.ch"))).AsTask<IAsyncOperationWithProgress<HttpResponseMessage, HttpProgress>>().ConfigureAwait(false);

最简单的解决方案是使用此库来模拟HttpClient

https://github.com/richardszalay/mockhttp

PM> Install-Package RichardSzalay.MockHttp

我还使用附加代码对其进行了测试

       //Arrange
        var mockHttp = new MockHttpMessageHandler();
        mockHttp.When("http://dontcare.ch")
            .Respond("application/txt", "Content from MockedHttpContent"); // Respond with content
        var client = mockHttp.ToHttpClient();

        //Act
        var response = await client.GetAsync("http://dontcare.ch");
        var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

        //Assert
        Assert.AreEqual("Content from MockedHttpContent", result);
