how can i get the Model from an ViewResult in a asp.net mvc unittest?

Question

i call a controller action in a unit test.

 ViewResult result = c.Index(null,null) as ViewResult;

I cast the result to a ViewResult, because that is what i'm returning in the controller:

return View(model);

But how can i access this model variable in my unit test?

Answer 1

// Arrange
var c = new MyController();

//Act
var result = c.Index(null,null);
var model = result.ViewData.Model; 

//Assert
Assert("model is what you want");
