Sample code for unit testing api controllers

Question

Is there an sample code that shows unit testing a controller that inherits from the api controller? I am trying to unit test a POST but it is failing. I believe I need to set up

Answer 1

Using AutoFixture, I usually do something like this:

[Theory, AutoCatalogData]
public void PostToCollectionReturnsCorrectResponse(
    CategoriesController sut,
    CategoryRendition categoryRendition)
{
    HttpResponseMessage response = sut.Post(categoryRendition);

    Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.Created, response.StatusCode);
}

See this other SO answer for more details about this approach.
