I have written my first unit tests for an ASP.NET MVC web application. All works fine and it is giving me valuable information, but I can't test errors in the view model. The ModelState.IsValid is always true, even when some values are not filled in (empty string or null).
I have read already that the model validation happens when the posted data is mapped to the model and you need to write some code to do the model verification yourself:
I have tried the three examples provided in the linked webpages, but it seems not to work for me.
Some code:
My viewmodel
...
[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "ErrorFirstName", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Mui))]
[MaxLength(50)]
[Display(Name = "Firstname", ResourceType = typeof(Mui))]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
...
The controller
...
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(POSViewModel model)
{
Contract contract = contractService.GetContract(model.ContractGuid.Value);
if (!contract.IsDirectDebit.ToSafe())
{
ModelState.Remove("BankName");
ModelState.Remove("BankAddress");
ModelState.Remove("BankZip");
ModelState.Remove("BankCity");
ModelState.Remove("AccountNr");
}
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
...
contractValidationService.Create(contractValidation);
unitOfWork.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("index","thanks");
}
else
{
return Index(model.ContractGuid.ToString());
}
}
My unit test
posViewModel.FirstName = null;
posViewModel.LastName = "";
...
var modelBinder = new ModelBindingContext()
{
ModelMetadata = ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(() => posViewModel, posViewModel.GetType()),
ValueProvider = new NameValueCollectionValueProvider(new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection(), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
};
var binder = new DefaultModelBinder().BindModel(new ControllerContext(), modelBinder);
posController.ModelState.Clear();
posController.ModelState.Merge(modelBinder.ModelState);
ActionResult result = posController.Index(posViewModel);
//Assert
mockContractValidationService.Verify(m => m.Create(It.IsAny<ContractValidation>()), Times.Never);
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(result, typeof(ViewResult));
On the view, I'm using unobtrusive JavaScript validation, and it works.
