Unit testing for Server.MapPath
Solution 1:
You can use dependancy injection and abstraction over Server.MapPath
public interface IPathProvider
{
string MapPath(string path);
}
And production implementation would be:
public class ServerPathProvider : IPathProvider
{
public string MapPath(string path)
{
return HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path);
}
}
While testing one:
public class TestPathProvider : IPathProvider
{
public string MapPath(string path)
{
return Path.Combine(@"C:\project\",path);
}
}
Solution 2:
If you need to test legacy code which you can't or don't want to change, you can try FakeHttpContext.
This is how it works:
var expectedPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "path");
using (new FakeHttpContext())
{
var mappedPath = Http.Context.Current.Server.MapPath("path");
Assert.Equal(expectedPath, mappedPath);
}
