How to mock the new HttpClientFactory in .NET Core 2.1 using Moq

Question

.NET Core 2.1 comes with this new factory called HttpClientFactory, but I can\'t figure out how to mock it to unit test some methods that include REST service c

Answer 1

This code threw this exception for me, System.InvalidOperationException: The request does not have an associated configuration object or the provided configuration was null.

So included this in the test method, and it works.

var configuration = new HttpConfiguration();
var request = new HttpRequestMessage();
request.SetConfiguration(configuration);
