TestableHttpClient 0.8.8

TestableHttpClient

Creating unittest for code that uses HttpClient can be difficult to test. It requires a custom HttpMessageHandler or a mocked version. TestableHttpClient provides a testable version of HttpMessageHandler and several helper functions to configure the TestableHttpHandler and several ways to assert which requests were made.

When you use NFluent for asserting, then you would be interested in the package TestableHttpClient.NFluent.

Howto install

TestableHttpClient is released as a NuGet packages and can be installed via the NuGet manager in VisualStudio or by running the following command on the command line:

dotnet add package TestableHttpClient

How to use

var testHandler = new TestableHttpMessageHandler();
var httpClient = new HttpClient(testHandler); // or testHandler.CreateClient()

var result = await httpClient.GetAsync("http://httpbin.org/status/200");

testHandler.ShouldHaveMadeRequestsTo("https://httpbin.org/*");

More examples can be found in the IntegrationTests project

This library is largely inspired by the HttpTest functionality from Flurl.
A lot of the ideas came from the thread about unit testing HttpClient code in this dotnet issue.
