List example

[bapti]

Hi,

It would be useful to have an example in the tests of how to test a method that takes a list

public class RecordController : Controller
{
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(List<Record> records)
    {
        //Logic
    }
}

I'm working on it now building the list into a query string but it would be useful if "withbody" would accept json perhaps?

[Fact]
public void RecordsRoute()
{
    var records = new List<Record>
    {
        new Record { Id = "TestId", RecordId = "TestRecordId" }
    };

    var body = "[0].Id=TestId&[0].RecordMetadataId=TestRecordMetadataId";

    Routes
        .ShouldMap("/record")
        .WithBody(body)
        .To<RecordController>(x => x.Index(records));
}

Or something like this would be good

 var body = String.Format("records='{0}'", records.ToJson());

Or even

 Routes
        .ShouldMap("/record")
        .WithJsonBody(records.ToJson())
        .To<RecordController>(x => x.Index(records));

Right now it only supports post body as form-url encoded. WithJsonBody(string body) is something that I will have a look at soon.

I have started to have a look at the json body parsing. The easiest way is to take a dependency on Newtonsoft.Json via nuget. This shouldn't be a problem, right?

Fine for me, that's the library that MVC uses for its default json parser I believe.

Thanks again for the great library, it's been a brilliant help for us preventing regressions.

Hi, I was just wondering if you added this in the end?

[AnthonySteele]

Sorry, I got caught up in other things. And getting this lib to work on ASP MVC 5.1/WebApi 2.1 is the enxt step.

[AnthonySteele]

The json body parsing is in the code now. Lists aren't working though. I have a couple of failing test and will look at how to do this; it doesn't look like a trival thing though.

@anthony

Is that on a branch anywhere?

I have made a ListTests branch https://github.com/AnthonySteele/MvcRouteTester/tree/ListTests
