How to mock an IFormFile for a unit/integration test in ASP.NET Core 1 MVC 6?
Assuming you have a Controller like..
public class MyController : Controller {
public Task<IActionResult> UploadSingle(IFormFile file) {...}
}
...where the IFormFile.OpenReadStream()
is accessed with the method under test. You can create a test using Moq mocking framework to simulate the stream data.
[TestClass]
public class IFormFileUnitTests {
[TestMethod]
public async Task Should_Upload_Single_File() {
//Arrange
var fileMock = new Mock<IFormFile>();
//Setup mock file using a memory stream
var content = "Hello World from a Fake File";
var fileName = "test.pdf";
var ms = new MemoryStream();
var writer = new StreamWriter(ms);
writer.Write(content);
writer.Flush();
ms.Position = 0;
fileMock.Setup(_ => _.OpenReadStream()).Returns(ms);
fileMock.Setup(_ => _.FileName).Returns(fileName);
fileMock.Setup(_ => _.Length).Returns(ms.Length);
var sut = new MyController();
var file = fileMock.Object;
//Act
var result = await sut.UploadSingle(file);
//Assert
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(result, typeof(IActionResult));
}
}
Easier would be to create an actual in-memory instance
IFormFile file = new FormFile(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("This is a dummy file")), 0, 0, "Data", "dummy.txt");
Adding on harishr's answer with a set lenght (which was what I needed for my Blob.Upload() to work).
private IFormFile CreateTestFormFile(string p_Name, string p_Content)
{
byte[] s_Bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(p_Content);
return new FormFile(
baseStream: new MemoryStream(s_Bytes),
baseStreamOffset: 0,
length: s_Bytes.Length,
name: "Data",
fileName: p_Name
);
}
