ASP.NET WebApi unit testing with Request.CreateResponse

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to write some unit tests for my ApiController and faced some issues. There is a nice extension method called Request.CreateResponse that helps a lot with generating response.

public HttpResponseMessage Post(Product product)
{
  var createdProduct = repo.Add(product);
  return this.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, createdProduct);
}

Is there any way to mock CreateResponse without using of partial mocks or direct using of "new HttpResponseMessage(...)"?

controller.Request = new HttpRequestMessage();
controller.Request.Properties.Add(HttpPropertyKeys.HttpConfigurationKey, 
                                  new HttpConfiguration());

controller.Request = new HttpRequestMessage();
controller.Request.SetConfiguration(new HttpConfiguration());
