Testing ASP.NET webservice using NUnit and transferring session state
- by herbertyeung
I have a NUnit test class that starts an ASP.NET web service (using Microsoft.VisualStudio.WebHost.Server) which runs on http://localhost:1070
The problem I am having is that I want to create a session state within the NUnit test that is accessible by the ASP.NET web service on localhost:1070.
I have done the following, and the session state can be created successfully inside the NUnit Test, but is lost when the web service is invoked:
//Create a new HttpContext for NUnit Testing based on:
//http://blogs.imeta.co.uk/jallderidge/archive/2008/10/19/456.aspx
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(
new HttpRequest("", "http://localhost:1070/", ""), new HttpResponse(
new System.IO.StringWriter()));
//Create a new HttpContext.Current for NUnit Testing
System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateUtility.AddHttpSessionStateToContext(
HttpContext.Current, new HttpSessionStateContainer("",
new SessionStateItemCollection(),
new HttpStaticObjectsCollection(), 20000, true,
HttpCookieMode.UseCookies, SessionStateMode.Off, false));
HttpContext.Current.Session["UserName"] = "testUserName";
testwebService.testMethod();
I want to be able to get the session state created in the NUnit test for Session["UserName"] in the ASP.NET web service:
[WebMethod(EnableSession=true)]
public int testMethod()
{
string user;
if(Session["UserName"] != null)
{
user = (string)Session["UserName"];
//Do some processing of the user
return 1;
}
else
return 0;
}
The web.config file has the following configuration for the session state configuration and would like to remain using InProc than rather StateServer Or SQLServer:
<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" cookieless="false" timeout="20"/>
