The provider for the source IQueryable doesn't implement IAsyncQueryProvider

Question

I have some codes like below, I want to write unit tests my method. But I\'m stuck in async methods. Can you help me please ?

public class Panel
{
    publi         


        

Answer 1

When querying for panel, removing the async in firstordefault.

Also remove the async from tolist when querying for analytics

Answer 2

You could implement an AsyncEnumerable which can be used like this:

private readonly IQueryable<Panel> panels = new AsyncEnumerable(new List<Panel>() 
{
    panel
});

---

Here is the implementation of it:

public class AsyncEnumerable<T> : EnumerableQuery<T>, IAsyncEnumerable<T>, IQueryable<T>
{
    public AsyncEnumerable(IEnumerable<T> enumerable) : base(enumerable) { }

    public AsyncEnumerable(Expression expression) : base(expression) { }

    public IAsyncEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator()
    {
        return new AsyncEnumerator<T>(this.AsEnumerable().GetEnumerator());
    }

    IQueryProvider IQueryable.Provider => new AsyncQueryProvider<T>(this);
}

The AsyncEnumerator class:

public class AsyncEnumerator<T> : IAsyncEnumerator<T>
{
    private readonly IEnumerator<T> _inner;

    public AsyncEnumerator(IEnumerator<T> inner)
    {
        _inner = inner;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _inner.Dispose();
    }

    public T Current => _inner.Current;

    public Task<bool> MoveNext(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        return Task.FromResult(_inner.MoveNext());
    }
}

The AsyncQueryProvider class:

public class AsyncQueryProvider<TEntity> : IAsyncQueryProvider
{
    private readonly IQueryProvider _inner;

    internal AsyncQueryProvider(IQueryProvider inner)
    {
        _inner = inner;
    }

    public IQueryable CreateQuery(Expression expression)
    {
        return new AsyncEnumerable<TEntity>(expression);
    }

    public IQueryable<TElement> CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression expression)
    {
        return new AsyncEnumerable<TElement>(expression);
    }

    public object Execute(Expression expression)
    {
        return _inner.Execute(expression);
    }

    public TResult Execute<TResult>(Expression expression)
    {
        return _inner.Execute<TResult>(expression);
    }

    public IAsyncEnumerable<TResult> ExecuteAsync<TResult>(Expression expression)
    {
        return new AsyncEnumerable<TResult>(expression);
    }

    public Task<TResult> ExecuteAsync<TResult>(Expression expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        return Task.FromResult(Execute<TResult>(expression));
    }
}

Answer 3

I get stuck on this issue today and this lib resolve it for me https://github.com/romantitov/MockQueryable completely, please refer:

Mocking Entity Framework Core operations such ToListAsync, FirstOrDefaultAsync etc.

//1 - create a List<T> with test items
var users = new List<UserEntity>()
{
  new UserEntity{LastName = "ExistLastName", DateOfBirth = DateTime.Parse("01/20/2012")},
  ...
};

//2 - build mock by extension
var mock = users.AsQueryable().BuildMock();

//3 - setup the mock as Queryable for Moq
_userRepository.Setup(x => x.GetQueryable()).Returns(mock.Object);

//3 - setup the mock as Queryable for NSubstitute
_userRepository.GetQueryable().Returns(mock);

Answer 4

This is because of your mocking approach; your mock provider just returns panels for Query, and panels is a simple object with LINQ-to-Objects exposing it as queryable:

private readonly IQueryable<Panel> panels = new List<Panel>() { panel }.AsQueryable();

Indeed, this does not implement IAsyncQueryProvider. If you can get hold of the regular query provider, you should be able to wrap that with a fake always-synchronous version to spoof it (just use return Task.FromResult(Execute(expression))), but frankly I'm not sure that this would be a useful test... at that point you're skipping so many of the important realities of async that it probably isn't worth it.
