Unit testing using ASP.NET Identity

Question

I was wondering how would I go on about unit testing code that use IdentityUser without having to use UserManager (which needs to create a database, etc.). I am also using a Repository pattern with Unit of Work if that makes any difference..

If someone could provide me with more details and a simple example I would greatly appreciate it!

So if what you want is just some way to create and store IdentityUsers for unit tests, what you can do is create a TestUserStore and use the UserManager against that store.

public class MemoryUser : IUser {
    private readonly IList<UserLoginInfo> _logins;
    private readonly IList<Claim> _claims;
    private readonly IList<string> _roles;

    public MemoryUser(string name) {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        _logins = new List<UserLoginInfo>();
        _claims = new List<Claim>();
        _roles = new List<string>();
        UserName = name;
    }

    public virtual string Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string UserName { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// The salted/hashed form of the user password
    /// </summary>
    public virtual string PasswordHash { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// A random value that should change whenever a users credentials have changed (password changed, login removed)
    /// </summary>
    public virtual string SecurityStamp { get; set; }

    public IList<UserLoginInfo> Logins { get { return _logins; } }

    public IList<Claim> Claims { get { return _claims; } }

    public IList<string> Roles { get { return _roles; } }
}

public class MemoryUserStore : IUserStore<MemoryUser>, IUserLoginStore<MemoryUser>, IUserRoleStore<MemoryUser>, IUserClaimStore<MemoryUser>, IUserPasswordStore<MemoryUser>, IUserSecurityStampStore<MemoryUser> {
    private Dictionary<string, MemoryUser> _users = new Dictionary<string, MemoryUser>();
    private Dictionary<UserLoginInfo, MemoryUser> _logins = new Dictionary<UserLoginInfo, MemoryUser>(new LoginComparer());

    public Task CreateAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        _users[user.Id] = user;
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task UpdateAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        _users[user.Id] = user;
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task<MemoryUser> FindByIdAsync(string userId) {
        if (_users.ContainsKey(userId)) {
            return Task.FromResult(_users[userId]);
        }
        return Task.FromResult<MemoryUser>(null);
    }

    public void Dispose() {
    }

    public IQueryable<MemoryUser> Users {
        get {
            return _users.Values.AsQueryable();
        }
    }

    public Task<MemoryUser> FindByNameAsync(string userName) {
        return Task.FromResult(Users.Where(u => u.UserName.ToUpper() == userName.ToUpper()).FirstOrDefault());
    }

    public Task AddLoginAsync(MemoryUser user, UserLoginInfo login) {
        user.Logins.Add(login);
        _logins[login] = user;
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task RemoveLoginAsync(MemoryUser user, UserLoginInfo login) {
        var logs = user.Logins.Where(l => l.ProviderKey == login.ProviderKey && l.LoginProvider == login.LoginProvider).ToList();
        foreach (var l in logs) {
            user.Logins.Remove(l);
            _logins[l] = null;
        }
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task<IList<UserLoginInfo>> GetLoginsAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.Logins);
    }

    public Task<MemoryUser> FindAsync(UserLoginInfo login) {
        if (_logins.ContainsKey(login)) {
            return Task.FromResult(_logins[login]);
        }
        return Task.FromResult<MemoryUser>(null);
    }

    public Task AddToRoleAsync(MemoryUser user, string role) {
        user.Roles.Add(role);
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task RemoveFromRoleAsync(MemoryUser user, string role) {
        user.Roles.Remove(role);
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task<IList<string>> GetRolesAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.Roles);
    }

    public Task<bool> IsInRoleAsync(MemoryUser user, string role) {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Task<IList<Claim>> GetClaimsAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.Claims);
    }

    public Task AddClaimAsync(MemoryUser user, Claim claim) {
        user.Claims.Add(claim);
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task RemoveClaimAsync(MemoryUser user, Claim claim) {
        user.Claims.Remove(claim);
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task SetPasswordHashAsync(MemoryUser user, string passwordHash) {
        user.PasswordHash = passwordHash;
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task<string> GetPasswordHashAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.PasswordHash);
    }

    public Task SetSecurityStampAsync(MemoryUser user, string stamp) {
        user.SecurityStamp = stamp;
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }

    public Task<string> GetSecurityStampAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.SecurityStamp);
    }

    public Task DeleteAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Task<bool> HasPasswordAsync(MemoryUser user) {
        return Task.FromResult(user.PasswordHash != null);
    }
}

var manager = new UserManager<MemoryUser>(new MemoryUserStore())
