Unit testing DelegatingHandler
You can set the InnerHandler
property of the DelegatingHandler you're testing (FooHandler
) with a dummy/fake handler (TestHandler
) as shown in that linked post in your comment.
public class TestHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
return Task.Factory.StartNew(() => new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK), cancellationToken);
}
}
// in your test class method
var httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, "https://example.com/");
var handler = new FooHandler()
{
InnerHandler = new TestHandler() // <-- change to use this
};
var invoker = new HttpMessageInvoker(handler);
var result = await invoker.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage, new CancellationToken());
Assert.That(result.Headers.GetValues("some-header").First(), Is.Not.Empty, "");
Unlike that post, this should be the minimum you need to set up to get your test to run.
Use e.g. System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler or System.Web.Http.HttpServer as an InnerHandler:
var handler = new FooHandler()
{
InnerHandler = new System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler()
};
or
var handler = new FooHandler()
{
InnerHandler = new System.Web.Http.HttpServer()
};
With using Moq.Protected;
, you can get more control over the response outcome.
var request = new HttpRequestMessage();
var innerHandlerMock = new Mock<DelegatingHandler>(MockBehavior.Strict);
innerHandlerMock
.Protected()
.Setup<Task<HttpResponseMessage>>("SendAsync", request, ItExpr.IsAny<CancellationToken>())
.ReturnsAsync(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK));
var handler = new FooHandler()
{
InnerHandler = innerHandlerMock.Object
};
var invoker = new HttpMessageInvoker(handler);
// act
await invoker.SendAsync(request, default);
