ToolBX.Eloquentest 1.1.0

Eloquentest

A simple to use .NET unit testing framework built on top of MSTest and Moq. It also includes built-in support for services that are injected using [AutoInject].

Getting started

Here is the dumbest service you can imagine.

    public class DumbestServiceYouCanImagine
    {
        public string Format(int number)
        {
            return number == 0 ? "It's zero" : "It's not zero";
        }
    }

Here is the dumbest unit test for the dumbest service you can imagine.

    [TestClass]
    public class DumbestServiceYouCanImagineTester : Tester<DumbestServiceYouCanImagine>
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void WhenNumberIsZero_ReturnItsZero()
        {
            //Act
            var result = Instance.Format(0);

            //Assert
            Assert.AreEqual("It's zero", result);
        }
    }

That's all well and good but what if your dumb service had dependencies to other services though?

public interface ISomeOtherService
{
    public string UserId { get; }
    public IReadOnlyList<int> Roles { get; }
}

public class DumbestServiceYouCanImagine
{
    private readonly ISomeOtherService _someOtherService;

    public DumbestServiceYouCanImagine(ISomeOtherService someOtherService)
    {
        _someOtherService = someOtherService;
    }

    public string DoSomeOtherStuff()
    {
        return _someOtherService.Roles.Contains(8) ? 
            $"User {_someOtherService.UserId} is authorized to do dumb stuff." : 
            $"User {_someOtherService.UserId} is strictly forbidden from doing dumb stuff!";
    }
}

[TestClass]
public class DumbestServiceYouCanImagineTester : Tester<DumbestServiceYouCanImagine>
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void WhenContainsRoleNumberEight_SayThatUserIsAuthorized()
    {
        //Arrange
        var userId = Fixture.Create<string>();
        GetMock<ISomeOtherService>().Setup(x => x.UserId).Returns(userId);
        
        GetMock<ISomeOtherService>().Setup(x => x.Roles).Returns(new List<int> { 8 });

        //Act
        var result = Instance.DoSomeOtherStuff();

        //Assert
        Assert.AreEqual($"User {userId} is authorized to do dumb stuff.", result);
    }

    [TestMethod]
    public void WhenDoesNotContainRoleNumberEight_SayThatUserIsUnauthorized()
    {
        //Arrange
        var userId = Fixture.Create<string>();
        GetMock<ISomeOtherService>().Setup(x => x.UserId).Returns(userId);

        GetMock<ISomeOtherService>().Setup(x => x.Roles).Returns(new List<int>());

        //Act
        var result = Instance.DoSomeOtherStuff();

        //Assert
        Assert.AreEqual($"User {userId} is strictly forbidden from doing dumb stuff!", result);
    }
}

Testing collections

Ever wanted to test whichever item from a collection?

[TestMethod]
public void WhenYouWantWhichever_GetWhichever()
{
    //Arrange
    var list = Fixture.CreateMany<string>().ToList();

    var something = Fixture.Create<Something>();
    GetMock<ISomeShadyService>().Setup(x => x.GetSomething(list.GetRandom())).Returns(something);

    //Act
    var result = Instance.DoSomething(list);

    //Assert
    result.Should.BeEquivalentTo(something);
}

You can also do the same thing but with the index only if that's what floats your boat.

var index = list.GetRandomIndex();

Using the generic tester with custom constructor parameters

It�s all well and good but what if you want to use the generic Tester class while providing your own parameters to the tested class� constructor instead of the automatically generated mocks and fixtures?

You can do that with the ConstructWith() method.

[AutoInject]
public class GameObjectFactory : IGameObjectFactory
{
    private readonly IServiceProvider _serviceProvider;

    public GameObjectFactory(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        _serviceProvider = serviceProvider;
    }

    public IGameObject Create(GameObjectConfiguration configuration) => new GameObject(_serviceProvider, configuration);
}

public record GameObjectConfiguration(string Name, Vector2<float> InitialPosition, Direction InitialDirection);

//The service provider is passed by the GameObjectFactory and is always the same reference
//Configuration is unique to every instance so we need to be able to override it if we want to test that things are correctly initialized
public GameObject(IServiceProvider serviceProvider, GameObjectConfiguration configuration)
{
    _game = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IGame>();
    Name = configuration.Name;
    Position = configuration.InitialPosition;
    Direction = configuration.InitialDirection;
}

[TestClass]
public class GameObjectTester 
{
    [TestClass]
    public class Move : Tester<GameObject>
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void Always_ChangePosition()
        {
            //Arrange
            var configuration = Fixture.Create<GameObjectConfiguration>();

            //It is important to call ConstructWith before accessing the Instance property!
            ConstructWith(configuration);

            //Act
            Instance.Move(new Vector2<float>(1, 0));

            //Assert
            Instance.Position.Should().Be(configuration.InitialPosition + new Vector2<float>(1, 0));
        }
    }
}

Integration tests

The Eloquentest.Integration namespace (available on nuget.org as a separate package) provides tools to leverage MSTest to execute code without mocking all while using the Eloquentest structure and syntax you may already be familiar with.

IntegrationTester and IntegreationTester<T> replace Tester and Tester<T> and there are no mocks.

Setup

It works right out of the box if you already use AutoInject in your regular code.

Breaking changes

1.0.X → 1.1.X GetRandom and GetRandomIndex methods have been removed from Eloquentest. Please import and use ToolBX.OPEX from nuget.org instead.
