Following this prototype for unit testing I've ran into a problem when using JS interop.
[Test]
public void ExampleTest()
{
var component = host.AddComponent<MyComponent>();
}
Just adding a component that uses IJSRuntime will cause the following exception
System.InvalidOperationException : Cannot provide a value for property 'JsRuntime' on type 'Application.Components.MyComponent'. There is no registered service of type 'Microsoft.JSInterop.IJSRuntime'.
The JS interop isn't doing anything of interest, it's just a void function that focuses an element - I don't care about testing it, I just want to be able to proceed with writing tests for the component itself.
How can I use Moq to mock IJSRuntime?
When I try something like
[Test]
public void ExampleTest()
{
var jsRuntimeMock = new Mock<IJSRuntime>();
host.AddService(jsRuntimeMock);
var component = host.AddComponent<MyComponent>();
}
I still get the exception
Mocking is a very popular approach for handling dependencies while unit testing, but it comes at a cost. It is important to recognize these costs, so we can choose (carefully) when the benefits outweigh that cost and when they don't.
You can use Moq to create mock objects that simulate or mimic a real object. Moq can be used to mock both classes and interfaces.
Many mocking frameworks for Java code work in combination with JUnit and other popular unit testing frameworks, and are great depending on your specific needs. Two of the most widely used are Mockito and PowerMock. Mockito is useful for all but the most complicated cases, for which you can use PowerMock instead.
host.AddService(jsRuntimeMock);
registers Mock<IJSRuntime>
as a dependency.
No classes in the implementation (outside of a test assembly) should have such a dependency but it's a common error to make.
Register IJSRuntime
as a dependency using the Mock<T>
property Object
, which contains a reference to an object that implements the interface.
Like this:
host.AddService(jsRuntimeMock.Object);
