Can I use FlurlClient with Asp.Net Core TestServer?

问题

We are using FlurlClient in a few projects and familiar with their fluent interface. We now want to use it in asp.net core integration tests using TestServer. The example from http://asp.net-hacker.rocks/2017/09/27/testing-aspnetcore.html

_server = new TestServer(new WebHostBuilder()
                             .UseStartup<Startup>());
_client = _server.CreateClient();

I was going to change code to

_server = new TestServer(new WebHostBuilder()
                             .UseStartup<Startup>());
var httpClient = _server.CreateClient();
_client = new FlurlClient(httpClient);

and use all FlurlClient methods/extensions.

But then I noticed Is it possible to use Furl.Http with the OWIN TestServer? which described that more work is required in owin implementation.

Is approach for Asp.Net Core TestServer similar? Or is it simplified?

回答1:

It's much simplified, and your proposed change is exactly right. The question you linked to is old and my answer contains information that's no longer relevant in 2.x. (I have updated it.) In fact, the ability to provide an existing HttpClient directly in a FlurlClient constructor was added very recently, and with this specific use case in mind.

Here's an extension method I use as a replacement for CreateClient; you might find it handy if you do this a lot:

public static class TestServerExtensions
{
    public static IFlurlClient CreateFlurlClient(this TestServer server) => 
        new FlurlClient(server.CreateClient());
}
