Unlike ArcObjects SDK, Enterprise SDK doesn't support building or running a standalone project, so it's not possible to write unit testing either in a standalone console application or in the Java Maven test for functions using the APIs provided by Enterprise SDK, such as creating or connecting to a workspace, and accessing IMapServer or other services. Even though AoInitialize is provided by Enterprise SDK, it's no longer valid and is not designed to authorize a standalone project to use the SDK's APIs. The only way to call these APIs and run the code is to test them in an SOE or SOI deployed on the server.
The documentation you referred to only applies to ArcObjects SDK, and doesn't apply to Enterprise SDK, because you can't run Enterprise SDK's APIs on a "local project". This content is indeed misleading and we will remove it from the help documentation. It will take about a week for this change to be applied to the online help page.
Thank you for your response. It's unfortunate that the solution is to remove a "highly recommended" statement. The statement in the documentation is absolutely correct, it IS extremely difficult to create SOIs and SOEs inside a running service. Furthermore, when code or dependencies change this is the preferred way to ensure a bug has not been introduced or reintroduced. These processes have been in place for years using sound development practices. To just remove the ability, coupled with documented Enterprise SDK API classes that exist but are "no longer valid". Is extremely frustrating.
If your extension references other third-party APIs or .NET libraries for your business logic, such as using Json.NET to parse certain JSON objects or sending a REST request to a service, then you can write unit testing for these functions and run it in a local project. This is a scenario where what the documentation suggests can apply.
Since Enterprise SDK currently doesn't support running in a standalone application, we don't want to mislead other users to assume that the SDK's APIs work in a standalone application.
Can you submit an enhancement request via Technical Support to request running Enterprise SDK's APIs in a standalone application? In this way, we can track this request and consider this feature for future releases.
Sure, where? What link should I use?
You can contact Technical Support here: https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support
Once you request a case referencing our discussions on this Github issue, a support specialist should be able to help submit the enhancement request and provide you with the defect number. You can then log in to My Esri and track the status of the enhancement request.
In the documentation, it states the following,
However, as of 10.9.1 with the ArcMapRuntime not installed, most of the classes appear not to be able to be co-created in a Unit Test project. Please provide a sample Unit test project that creates an IWorkspace and/or IMapserver that can be passed into unit test code not running in the SOE. Here is an example project that I can not get to work.
