I've got some ASP.NET MVC
controller code that checks if a user is authenticated and if so, it checks to see if it has a specific claim. Works fine.
I've got some unit tests and I need to mock out an IPrincipal
(which is easy to do) ... but I'm not sure how to check for the claims! I usually do something like
public static ClaimsPrincipal ClaimsPrincipal(this Controller controller)
{
return controller.User as ClaimsPrincipal;
}
and some controller code ...
this.ClaimsPrincipal().HasClaim(x => x.......);
but this all fails when I test this in my Unit Test .. because I'm not sure how I can mock
the ClaimsPrincipal
Any ideas?
Mocking the ClaimsPrincipal isnt too difficult
var cp = new Mock<ClaimsPrincipal>();
cp.Setup(m => m.HasClaim(It.IsAny<string>(),It.IsAny<string>()))
.Returns(true);
However depending on how your controller gains access to it will. Have a look at this Question How to mock Controller.User using moq
which would give you something like this:
var cp = new Mock<ClaimsPrincipal>();
cp.Setup(m => m.HasClaim(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>())).Returns(true);
var sut = new UtilityController();
var contextMock = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
contextMock.Setup(ctx => ctx.User).Returns(cp.Object);
var controllerContextMock = new Mock<ControllerContext>();
controllerContextMock.Setup(con => con.HttpContext).Returns(contextMock.Object);
sut.ControllerContext = controllerContextMock.Object;
var viewresult = sut.Index();
