Asserting action which throws exception

[Samuel-Langlois-BimOne]

I'm trying to test an action which throws an exception. I would have expected that I could run the scenario and check for the response code (500 or otherwise), but the test fails before that.

In the test I just get the URL:

return Application.AlbaHost.Scenario(
  _ =>
  {
      _.Get.Url("/Hub");
  });

The tested action just throws an error

  public Task<ActionResult<Hub>> Index()
  {
      throw new NotFoundException("Hub not found");
  }

Here is the call stack.

I use an exception handler middleware. I tried without it, and it throws the NotFoundException directly instead, but it still throws an exception.

Tested with Alba 5.0.1

@Samuel-Langlois-BimOne Sorry for being so slow answering this, but I think that's Alba working exactly as expected. Try:

return Application.AlbaHost.Scenario( => { .Get.Url("/Hub"); ..StatusCodeShouldBe(500); });

with the exception middleware on.

@Samuel-Langlois-BimOne I played with this a bit today. I think there's something else going on in your middleware that was making Alba wonky with the response body. Regardless, I hardened the area of the Alba code that was throwing during the assertion message to stop this from happening again. I did verify that the status code assertion is working at least.

@jeremydmiller Thanks for checking. Not sure what was going on, but it turns out that just upgrading to .NET 6 fixed the issue 😮. I also upgraded to the latest Alba version and everything works well !
