I am running on Castle's trunk, and trying to unit-test a controller-action where validation of my DTO is set up. The controller inherits from SmartDispatcherController. The action and DTO look like:
[AccessibleThrough(Verb.Post)]
public void Register([DataBind(KeyReg, Validate = true)] UserRegisterDto dto)
{
CancelView();
if (HasValidationError(dto))
{
Flash[KeyReg] = dto;
Errors = GetErrorSummary(dto);
RedirectToAction(KeyIndex);
}
else
{
var user = new User { Email = dto.Email };
// TODO: Need to associate User with an Owning Account
membership.AddUser(user, dto.Password);
RedirectToAction(KeyIndex);
}
}
public class UserRegisterDto
{
[ValidateNonEmpty]
[ValidateLength(1, 100)]
[ValidateEmail]
public string Email { get; set; }
[ValidateSameAs("Email")]
public string EmailConfirm { get; set; }
[ValidateNonEmpty]
public string Password { get; set; }
[ValidateSameAs("Password")]
public string PasswordConfirm { get; set; }
// TODO: validate is not empty Guid
[ValidateNonEmpty]
public string OwningAccountIdString { get; set; }
public Guid OwningAccountId
{
get { return new Guid(OwningAccountIdString); }
}
[ValidateLength(0, 40)]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[ValidateLength(0, 60)]
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
The unit test looks like:
[Fact]
public void Register_ShouldPreventInValidRequest()
{
PrepareController(home, ThorController.KeyPublic, ThorController.KeyHome, HomeController.KeyRegister);
var dto = new UserRegisterDto { Email = "ff" };
home.Register(dto);
Assert.True(Response.WasRedirected);
Assert.Contains("/public/home/index", Response.RedirectedTo);
Assert.NotNull(home.Errors);
}
("home" is my HomeController instance in the test; home.Errors holds a reference to an ErrorSummary which should be put into the Flash when there's a validation error).
I am seeing the debugger think that dto has no validation error; it clearly should have several failures, the way the test runs.
I have read Joey's blog post on this, but it looks like the Castle trunk has moved on since this was written. Can someone shed some light, please?
