Unit Testing Web Services - HttpContext

Question

I want to write unit tests for a web service. I create my test project, reference my web project (not service reference, assembly reference), then write some code to test the we

Answer 1

I ended up putting a property on the web service:

Private mIdentity As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity
Public Property Identity() As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity
  Get
    If mIdentity Is Nothing Then mIdentity = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity
    Return mIdentity
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity)
    mIdentity = value
  End Set
End Property

Then in my web service method:

 _
Public Function GetProject(ByVal projectId As Int32) As String

  If Me.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

    'code here

  End If

End Function

Then in my test (I'm using RhinoMocks):

Dim mockery As New MockRepository()
Dim mockIdentity As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity = mockery.DynamicMock(Of System.Security.Principal.IIdentity)()

Dim projectService As New TeamDynamix.Enterprise.Web.Next.ProjectService()
projectService.Identity = mockIdentity
mockIdentity.Stub(Function(i As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity) i.IsAuthenticated).Return(True)
