How test that ASP.NET MVC route redirects to other site?
- by Matt Lacey
Due to a prinitng error in some promotional material I have a site that is receiving a lot of requests which should be for one site arriving at another.
i.e.
The valid sites are http://site1.com/abc & http://site2.com/def but people are being told to go to http://site1.com/def.
I have control over site1 but not site2.
site1 contains logic for checking that the first part of the route is valid in an actionfilter, like this:
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
if ((!filterContext.ActionParameters.ContainsKey("id"))
|| (!manager.WhiteLabelExists(filterContext.ActionParameters["id"].ToString())))
{
if (filterContext.ActionParameters["id"].ToString().ToLowerInvariant().Equals("def"))
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect("http://site2.com/def", true);
}
filterContext.Result = new ViewResult { ViewName = "NoWhiteLabel" };
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Clear();
}
}
I'm not sure how to test the redirection to the other site though.
I already have tests for redirecting to "NoWhiteLabel" using the MvcContrib Test Helpers, but these aren't able to handle (as far as I can see) this situation.
How do I test the redirection to antoher site?
