There are many different ways of naming and organizing tests, all |
with different pros and cons. I like postfixing my test classes with |
Should to create a readable sentence with the test method name, |
but feel free to use your own style! |
The [Fact] attribute comes from the xUnit.NET package, and it marks |
this method as a test method. |
The TodoItemService requires an ApplicationDbContext , which is |
normally connected to your database. You won't want to use that for |
tests. Instead, you can use Entity Framework Core's in-memory database |
provider in your test code. Since the entire database exists in memory, |

Unit testing |
it's wiped out every time the test is restarted. And, since it's a proper |
Entity Framework Core provider, the TodoItemService won't know the |
difference! |
Use a DbContextOptionsBuilder to configure the in-memory database |
provider, and then make a call to AddItemAsync() : |
var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<ApplicationDbContext>() |
.UseInMemoryDatabase(databaseName: "Test_AddNewItem").Options; |
// Set up a context (connection to the "DB") for writing |
using (var context = new ApplicationDbContext(options)) |
{ |
var service = new TodoItemService(context); |
var fakeUser = new ApplicationUser |
{ |
Id = "fake-000", |
UserName = "fake@example.com" |
}; |
await service.AddItemAsync(new TodoItem |
{ |
Title = "Testing?" |
}, fakeUser); |
} |
The last line creates a new to-do item called Testing? , and tells the |
service to save it to the (in-memory) database. |
To verify that the business logic ran correctly, write some more code |
below the existing using block: |
