Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Middleware.IFunctionsWorkerMiddleware Unit Testing - asp.net-core-middleware

Looking for some examples on how to setup unit testing around IFunctionsWorkerMiddleware. All the examples I've found are for MVC and not function apps.
Example for MVC, but looking for .net 6 using function apps
using var host = await new HostBuilder() .ConfigureWebHost(webBuilder => { webBuilder .UseTestServer() .ConfigureServices(services => { services.AddMyServices(); }) .Configure(app => { app.UseMiddleware<MyMiddleware>(); }); }) .StartAsync(); var response = await host.GetTestClient().GetAsync("/")
Thanks in advance.
In order to test the middleware we need to spin up a host using HostBuilder; as part of configuring host builder we can stipulate it needs to use the test server (an in-memory webserver).  This is what we will make request against an what should be executing the middleware. Every single example I've found and tried are all for MVC  and nothing for function apps.  and every attempt pretty much results in a gRPC issue (gRPC is spun uo by the function app process by default, I cannot find where/how to not set it up).

Async Function Fails when called as part of a Constructor

I'm rather new to Blazor, but I am currently trying to get access to some classes from within a class library that I've created and deployed as a Nuget package. As background, the Nuget package is an Api library, which allows me to talk to a webservice (I don't know if this is relevant or not). However, every time I go to the page where I'm testing, the page never loads and instead I left looking at the browser loading circle until I navigate away or close the application. During my testing here, it seems like it's the #inject call of my interface into the Blazor component which is causing the issue as when I remove it and try to load the page normally, the page does so.
So to demonstrate what I have setup, here is where I've added the Singletons to the DI:
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IApiConfigHelper, ApiConfigHelper>();
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IApiHelper, ApiHelper>();
builder.Services.AddSingleton<ISystemEndpoint, SystemEndpoint>();
Then on the blazor page, I have the following declarations at the top of my page:
#using Library.Endpoints
#using Library.Models
#page "/"
#inject ISystemEndpoint _systemEndpoint
Now I am leaning towards is this something to do with the Nuget package and using it with DI. I have tested the library away from this project (In a console application) and can confirm it's working as it should.
I have also created a local class library as a test to, to see if I could inject a data access class into the page and I can confirm that this works without an issue, which suggests to me that DI is working, just not with my Nuget package.
I did have a look into CORS, given that the Nuget package is accessing an external domain, and setup the following simple CORS policy in the app:
builder.Services.AddCors(policy =>
{
policy.AddPolicy("OpenCorsPolicy", opt =>
opt.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod());
});
Which is added to the app after the AddRouting call like so:
app.UseCors("OpenCorsPolicy");
However again, this wasn't the solution so if anyone is able to point me in the right direction with where I may be going wrong with this or offer any advice, I would be most grateful.
EDIT 1 - Provides details #mason queried
Regarding SystemEndpoint, the constructor is being injected with 2 things, as below:
public SystemEndpoint(IApiHelper apiHelper, IOptions<UriConfigModel> uriOptions)
{
_apiHelper = apiHelper;
_uriOptions = uriOptions.Value;
}
My Nuget Library is dependant on the following:
Azure.Identity
Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets
Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client
Microsoft.Extensisons.Options.ConfigurationExtensions
EDIT 2 - Doing some further testing with this I have added a simple Endpoint class to my Nuget library, which returns a string with a basic message, as well as returning the values of the 2 UriConfig properties as below. I added this test to 1) sanity check that my DI was working correctly, and 2) check the values that are being assigned from appsettings to my UriConfig Object.
public class TestEndpoint : ITestEndpoint
{
private readonly IOptions<UriConfigModel> _uriConfig;
public TestEndpoint(IOptions<UriConfigModel> uriConfig)
{
_uriConfig = uriConfig;
}
public string TestMethod()
{
return $"You have successfully called the test method\n\n{_uriConfig.Value.Release} / {_uriConfig.Value.Version}";
}
}
However when adding in the dependency of IApiHelper into the Ctor, the method then breaks and fails to load the page. Looking into ApiHeloer, the Ctor has a dependency being injected into it of IApiConfigHelper. Looking at the implementation, the Ctor of ApiConfigHelper is setting up the values and parameters of the HttpClient that should make the REST calls to the external Api.
Now I believe what is breaking the code at this point is a call I'm making to Azure Key Vault, via REST, to pull out the secret values to connect to the Api. The call to KeyVault is being orchestrated via the following method, making use of the Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets Nuget Package, however I assume that at the heart of it, it's making a REST call to Azure on my behalf:
private async Task<KeyVaultSecret> GetKeyVaultValue(string secretName = "")
{
try
{
if (_secretClient is not null)
{
var result = await _secretClient.GetSecretAsync(secretName);
return result.Value;
}
}
catch (ArgumentException ae)
{
Console.WriteLine(ae.Message);
}
catch (Azure.RequestFailedException rfe)
{
Console.WriteLine(rfe.Message);
}
return new(secretName, "");
}
So that's where I stand with this at the moment. I still believe it could be down to CORS, as it seems to be falling over when making a call to an external service / domain, but I still can say 100%. As a closing thought, could it be something as simple as when I call call the above method, it's not being awaited????
So after persisting with this it seems like the reason it was failing was down to "awaiting" the call to Azure KeyVault, which was happening indirectly via the constructor of ApiConfigHelper. The resulting method for getting KeyVault value is now:
private KeyVaultSecret GetKeyVaultValue(string secretName = "")
{
try
{
if (_secretClient is not null)
{
var result = _secretClient.GetSecret(secretName);
if (result is not null)
{
return result.Value;
}
}
}
catch (ArgumentException ae)
{
Console.WriteLine(ae.Message);
}
catch (Azure.RequestFailedException rfe)
{
Console.WriteLine(rfe.Message);
}
return new(secretName, "");
}
I am now able to successfully make calls to my library and return values from the Api it interacts with.
I can also confirm that this IS NOT a CORS issue. Once I saw that removing the await was working, I then removed the CORS policy declarations from the service and the app in my Blazor's start-up code and everything continued to work without an issue.
As a final note, I must stress that this is only seems an issue when using the library with Blazor (possibly webApi projects) as I am able to use the library, awaiting the Azure call just fine in a console application.

How to get Redis key values on Server side Dart with Angel

Having moved my mobile app development to Flutter I am now in the process of experimenting with using Dart as my main server side language. The productivity benefits in using a single coding language in both the app and on the server are considerable. To that end I have set up a server with an Nginx front end which proxies all dynamic web requests to an Angel/Dart server.
Angel is a remarkably well written package and I had a working server written up in no time at all. However, in order to have a fully functional backend I need to be able to use both Redis and PostgreSQL from within my server side Dart code. I am using the resp_client package to access Redis. The issue I have run into is with the fact that RespCommand.get is asynchronous. With my newbie knowledge of both Dart and Angel I am unable to find a way to acquire a Redis key value via RespCommand.get in an Angel route handler and then somehow use that value in the response it returns.
My entire Dart backend server code is shown below
import 'package:angel_framework/angel_framework.dart';
import 'package:angel_framework/http.dart';
import 'package:postgres/postgres.dart';
import 'package:resp_client/resp_client.dart';
import 'package:resp_client/resp_commands.dart';
class DartWeb
{
static Angel angel;
static AngelHttp http;
static RespCommands redis;
static PostgreSQLConnection db;
static init() async
{
angel = Angel();
http = AngelHttp(angel);
angel.get('/',rootRoute);
await prepareRedis();
await http.startServer('localhost',3000);
}
static prepareRedis() async
{
RespServerConnection rsc = await connectSocket('localhost');
RespClient client = RespClient(rsc);
redis = RespCommands(client);
}
static preparePostgres() async
{
db = new PostgreSQLConnection('serverurl',portNo,'database',username:'user',password:'password');
await db.open();
}
static void rootRoute(RequestContext req,ResponseContext res)
{
try
{
await redis.set('test','foobar',expire:Duration(seconds:10));
String testVal = await redis.get('test');
res.write('Done $testVal');
} catch(e) {res.write('++ $e ++');}
}
}
main() async {await DartWeb.init();}
If I start up this server and then access it through my web browser I end up with a 502 Bad Gateway message. Not surprising. dart2native main.dart -o mainCompiled returns the error await can only be used in async... message.
So I tried instead
try
{
res.write('Before');
redis.set('test','foobar',expire:Duration(seconds:10)).then((bool done)
{
res.write('DONE $done');
});
res.write('After');
} catch(e) {res.write('++ $e ++');}
which simply printed out BeforeAfter in my browser with the DONE bit never showing up although a quick test via redis-cli shows that the key test had in fact been created.
My knowledge of both Dart and Angel is still in its infancy so I guess I am doing something incorrectly here. Shorn of all the detail my questions are essentially these -
how do I call and get the result from async methods in an Angel route dispatcher?
given that I am editing my Dart code in VSCode on my local Windows machine which accesses the relevant dart files on my Ubuntu server I loose the benefits of error reporting provided by the VSCode Dart plugin. dart2native, as I have used here, helps out but it would be nicer if I could somehow get a running error report within VSCode as I do when building Flutter apps locally. How can I accomplish this - if at all possible?
It turns out that Dart/Angel does not impose excessively strict constraints on the signature of a route handler. So you can quite safely declare a route handler like this one
static Future<void> rootRoute(RequestContext req,ResponseContext res) async
{
try
{
res.write('!! Before ');
await redis.set('test','foobar',expire:Duration(seconds:10));
String test = await redis.get('test');
res.write('After $test !!');
} catch(e) {res.write('++ $e ++');}
}
With the route simply returning a Future we can now safely do anything we like there - including calling other asynchronous methods: in this instance to fetch a Redis key value.

Orleans direct client in ASP.NET Core project

I am currently looking into Orleans as a backend for Asp.net core web api project, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with its new feature - "direct client". The orleans docs say "it allows co-hosting a client and silo in a way that let the client communicate more efficiently with not just the silo it's attached to, but the entire cluster", and I am aware that you can code something like this (and it works just fine in a console app):
var silo = new SiloHostBuilder()
.UseLocalhostClustering()
.EnableDirectClient()
.Build();
await silo.StartAsync();
var client = silo.Services.GetRequiredService<IClusterClient>();
I am struggling trying to figure out where to put this type of code in an asp.net project that has its own webhost builder in "Main" (should it go to Startup class in "ConfigureServices"?). In the end, we are aiming for a separate client/server setup, but for faster development it would be useful to play with a simple setup, which direct client appears to allow for. Any pointers to resources and/or sample solutions containing direct client with asp.net core would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Here's the code that kinda works for me now, but I am not happy with he way the DI is set up
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var silo = new SiloHostBuilder()
.UseLocalhostClustering()
.ConfigureServices(services =>
{
services.AddDbContext<UserDbSet>(o => o.UseSqlite("Data Source=UserTest.db"));
services.AddMediatR(typeof(Startup).Assembly);
})
.EnableDirectClient()
.Build();
await silo.StartAsync();
var client = silo.Services.GetRequiredService<IClusterClient>();
await WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseConfiguration(new ConfigurationBuilder()
.AddCommandLine(args)
.Build())
.ConfigureServices(services =>
services
.AddSingleton<IGrainFactory>(client)
.AddSingleton<IClusterClient>(client))
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.Build()
.RunAsync();
}
If I put registration of the DbContext and Mediatr in the StartUp class, grain code fails with an exception indicating failure to instantiate the required dependencies. Maybe I am doing something wrong when setting up the Webhost?
For ASP.NET 2.x & Orleans below 2.3, I recommend creating & starting the silo before the Web host. When configuring the Web host, inject the IGrainFactory & IClusterClient instances from the silo (obtained via silo.Services):
var silo = new SiloHostBuilder()
.UseLocalhostClustering()
.EnableDirectClient()
.Build();
await silo.StartAsync();
var client = silo.Services.GetRequiredService<IClusterClient>();
var webHost = new WebHostBuilder()
.ConfigureServices(services =>
services
.AddSingleton<IGrainFactory>(client)
.AddSingleton<IClusterClient>(client))
.UseStartup<Startup>()
// Other ASP.NET configuration...
.Build();
For ASP.NET 3.0 & Orleans 2.3 or greater, the integration code becomes simpler due to the addition of Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting support in both frameworks:
var host = new HostBuilder()
.ConfigureWebHost(builder =>
{
// Adding IGrainFactory, etc, is not necessary, since Orleans
// and ASP.NET share the same dependency injection container.
builder.UseStartup<Startup>();
})
.UseOrleans(builder =>
{
// EnableDirectClient is no longer needed as it is enabled by default
builder.UseLocalhostClustering();
})
.Build();
await host.StartAsync();

SpecsFor MVC - Can't get site to build / appear

I am attempting to create some UI tests using SpecsFor MVC, I am coming at this from a new user's point of view in terms of testing so could be easily missing something obvious.
The site I'm testing against already uses it's own test DB so I do not need to create one. when I build and debug normally on this site it also starts up a couple of WCF projects which we use for service layer interactions. Presumably I'll need to start these in the specs config but have not got that far yet.
I've followed the documentation and have created this method:
protected override void AfterConfigurationApplied()
{
var config = new SpecsForMvcConfig();
config.UseIISExpress()
.With(Project.Named("TestSite"))
.UsePort(55555)
.CleanupPublishedFiles()
.UseMSBuildExecutableAt(#"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe");
config.BuildRoutesUsing(MvcApplication.RegisterRoutes);
config.UseBrowser(BrowserDriver.Chrome);
_host = new SpecsForIntegrationHost(config);
_host.Start();
}
The routing of the site is set in the Global.asax hence the setting in the above method.
I also have this very basic test in place to just see if I can get it working:
protected override void When()
{
SUT.NavigateTo<HomeController>(u => u.Index());
SUT.FindLinkTo<HomeController>(u => u.About())
.Click();
}
When I debug the tests it successfully starts Chrome but hangs for ages and eventually fails with this error:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:49924/session/bd15d6a15395b4ca204437c340639501/element timed out after 60 seconds.
I'm not sure where that port number or session etc are coming from.
If I'm running my web project normally (outside of this whole testing project) I see a URL like this:
https://localhost:55555
I would have thought I'd see something similar for these tests cases? It doesn't really matter in any case because they're not working.
Am I missing some element of the config? Do I need to set up the WCF layer to run as well?

ASP .NET MVC websocket client to save data in DB

I am struggling to achieve the following:
I have created a Java websocket server which publishes data every 1 sec.
In ASP MVC projest I would like to receive the data and save them in database only so no JS involved here.
I am able to read the websocket data using console application method below :
using WebSocketSharp;
List<string> readoutList = new List<string>();
public void receiveMessage() {
using (var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:4567/socket/"))
{
ws.OnMessage += (sender, e) =>
{
if (e.IsText)
{
readoutList.Add(e.Data.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(e.Data.ToString());
}
};
ws.Connect();
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
}`
How to create a service of this kind within the ASP MVC project? I need some direction here.
MVC is stateless so you have to request back to the server to initiate the request (such as from a form post) but within the MVC controller response, you can kick off the request to the server (as an example using a different technology). The problem is there isn't necessarily a 1 to 1 translation in MVC; initiating the request using client-side JavaSvcript would be the option here. Initiating these types of requests within MVC may cause issues with timeouts too that you have to be aware of.
OR, you can consider a scheduled windows program or a windows service that is installed, which can manage itself and initiate the request every so often. I think this is the better option.
