How do you mock the session object collection using Moq

I am using shanselmann\'s MvcMockHelper class to mock up some HttpContext stuff using Moq but the issue I am having is being able to assign something to my mocked session ob

Answer 1

Using Moq 3.0.308.2 here is an example of my account controller setup in my unit test:

    private AccountController GetAccountController ()
    {
      .. setup mocked services..

      var accountController = new AccountController (..mocked services..);

      var controllerContext = new Mock ();
      controllerContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.Session["test"]).Returns("Hello World");
      controllerContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name).Returns(_testEmail);
      controllerContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.Request.IsAuthenticated).Returns(true);
      controllerContext.SetupGet(p => p.HttpContext.Response.Cookies).Returns(new HttpCookieCollection ());

      controllerContext.Setup (p => p.HttpContext.Request.Form.Get ("ReturnUrl")).Returns ("sample-return-url");
      controllerContext.Setup (p => p.HttpContext.Request.Params.Get ("q")).Returns ("sample-search-term");

      accountController.ControllerContext = controllerContext.Object;

      return accountController;
    }

then within your controller method the following should return "Hello World"

string test = Session["test"].ToString ();
