ArwynFr.IntegrationTesting

This library provides utility classes for writing integration tests in dotnet using XUnit and WebApplicationFactory.

Installation

dotnet new classlib -n MyTestProject

dotnet add package ArwynFr.IntegrationTesting
dotnet add package Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk
dotnet add package xunit.runner.visualstudio

Usage

Read advanced usage documentation for further details.

By default, the lib redirects the tested application logs to XUnit output, so you get them in the test output in case of failure. It also overwrites the application configuration with values from user secrets and environement variables.

public class MyTest : IntegrationTestBase<Program>
{
    public MyTest(ITestOutputHelper output) : base(output) { }

    [Fact]
    public async Task OnTest()
    {
        // Call system under test
        var response = await Client.GetFromJsonAsync<OrderDto>($"/order");

        response.Should().HaveValue();
    }

    // Override a service with fake implementation in the tested app
    protected override void ConfigureAppServices(IServiceCollection services)
        => services.AddSingleton<IMyService, FakeService>();
}

EntityFrameworkCore integration

public class TestBaseDb : IntegrationTestBase<Program, MyDbContext>
{
    public TestBaseDb(ITestOutputHelper output) : base(output) { }

    [Fact]
    public async Task OnTest()
    {
        // Access the injected dbcontext
        var value = await Database.Values
            .Where(val => val.Id == 1)
            .Select(val => val.Result)
            .FirstOrDefaultAsync();

        // Call system under test
        var result = await Client.GetFromJsonAsync<int>("/api/value/1");

        result.Should().Be(value + 1);
    }

    // Create and drop a database for every test execution
    protected override IDatabaseTestStrategy<Context> DatabaseTestStrategy
        => IDatabaseTestStrategy<MyDbContext>.DatabasePerTest;

    // Configure EFcore with a random database name
    protected override void ConfigureDbContext(DbContextOptionsBuilder builder)
        => builder.UseSqlite($"Data Source={Guid.NewGuid()}.sqlite");
}

OpenTelemetry integration

public class OpenTelemetryTests(ITestOutputHelper output) : IntegrationTestBase<Program>(output)
{
    // Tell the library which OTEL sources you want to monitor
    // Traces from other sources will be ignored
    protected override string[] OpenTelemetrySourceNames => ["SourceA", "SourceB"];

    [Fact]
    public async Task Otel()
    {
        // Call system under test
        await Client.GetAsync("/otel");

        // Assert on the collection of all activities collected
        Activities.Any(activity => activity.DisplayName == "Hello").Should().BeTrue();
    }
}
