Why does this test fail?
- by Tomas Lycken
I'm trying to test/spec the following action method
public virtual ActionResult ChangePassword(ChangePasswordModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (MembershipService.ChangePassword(User.Identity.Name, model.OldPassword, model.NewPassword))
{
return RedirectToAction(MVC.Account.Actions.ChangePasswordSuccess);
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The current password is incorrect or the new password is invalid.");
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return RedirectToAction(MVC.Account.Actions.ChangePassword);
}
with the following MSpec specification:
public class When_a_change_password_request_is_successful : with_a_change_password_input_model
{
Establish context = () =>
{
membershipService.Setup(s => s.ChangePassword(Param.IsAny<string>(), Param.IsAny<string>(), Param.IsAny<string>())).Returns(true);
controller.SetFakeControllerContext("POST");
};
Because of = () => controller.ChangePassword(inputModel);
ThenIt should_be_a_redirect_result = () => result.ShouldBeARedirectToRoute();
ThenIt should_redirect_to_success_page = () => result.ShouldBeARedirectToRoute().And().ShouldRedirectToAction<AccountController>(c => c.ChangePasswordSuccess());
}
where with_a_change_password_input_model is a base class that instantiates the input model, sets up a mock for the IMembershipService etc. The test fails on the first ThenIt (which is just an alias I'm using to avoid conflict with Moq...) with the following error description:
Machine.Specifications.SpecificationException: Should be of type System.RuntimeType but is [null]
But I am returning something - in fact, a RedirectToRouteResult - in each way the method can terminate! Why does MSpec believe the result to be null?
