Integration test and hosting ASP.NET Core 6.0 without Startup class

Integration test and hosting ASP.NET Core 6.0 without Startup class

In ASP.NET Core 6.0, you can use the WebApplicationFactory class to create an instance of the test server for integration tests without having to use the Startup class. This allows you to configure the application directly from your test code.

Here is an example of how to do this:

  1. Add the following NuGet packages to your test project:

    Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk

  2. In your test project, create a new class and inherit from the WebApplicationFactory class. Override the CreateWebHostBuilder method to configure the test server.

    public class TestWebApplicationFactory : WebApplicationFactory<Program> { protected override IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder() { return Host.CreateDefaultBuilder() .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder => { webBuilder.UseStartup<TestStartup>(); }); } }

    Replace Program with the name of your application entry point class, and TestStartup with the name of your custom startup class for testing.

  3. Create a custom startup class for testing, which implements the IStartup interface. In this class, configure the application as necessary for your tests.

    public class TestStartup : IStartup { public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // Configure services for testing return services.BuildServiceProvider(); } public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) { // Configure app for testing } }

  4. In your test methods, create an instance of the test server using the TestWebApplicationFactory class, and use the CreateClient method to create an instance of the HttpClient for making requests to the server.

    [Fact] public async Task TestEndpoint() { // Arrange using var factory = new TestWebApplicationFactory(); using var client = factory.CreateClient(); // Act var response = await client.GetAsync("/my-endpoint"); // Assert response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); Assert.Equal("Expected content", content); }

    Replace /my-endpoint with the endpoint you want to test, and Expected content with the expected response content.

This approach allows you to configure the application specifically for testing, without having to modify the Startup class or spin up a full application server.
