While writing some acceptance test code against a ASP.Net Web API controller, I hardcoded the URL (minus the domain and port) to be posted against. This makes me uneasy; if the controller or one of its parameters were renamed, my URL would become invalid, but Intellisense/Resharper would not catch it. Is there a method that will generate the appropriate URI for a controller?
Example: given a controller that looks something like this:
public class FooController : ApiController { ... public HttpResponseMessage Get(string bar) { ... } public HttpResponseMessage Post(string bar) { ... } ... } Say I write some test code that looks something like this (conceptual):
sendPOSTforJSONresponse(baseURL + "api/Foo?bar=" + bar); ... sendGETforJSONresponse(baseURL + "api/Foo?bar=" + bar); but what I want to do is replace "api/Foo?bar=" with something like GenerateURLForController(FooController).withParametersOfMethod(FooController.Get). Is there a method like this in the standard ASP.Net Web API libraries? If not, I suppose I can roll my own using reflection.
