EntityFramework.Testing provides an implementation of DbAsyncQueryProvider that can be used when testing a component that uses async queries with EntityFramework.
The project is cut from EntityFrameworks' source code. Some changes are made to be compliant with StyleCop/CodeAnalysis
EntityFramework.Testing.Moq provides a helpful extension method to mock EntityFramework's DbSets using Moq.
For example, given the following controller.
public class BlogsController : Controller
{
private readonly BloggingContext db;
public BlogsController(BloggingContext context)
{
db = context;
}
public async Task<ViewResult> Index()
{
var query = db.Blogs.OrderBy(b => b.Name);
return View(await query.ToListAsync());
}
}You can write a unit test against a mock context as follows. SetupData extension method is part of EntityFramework.Testing.Moq.
[TestMethod]
public async Task Index_returns_blogs_ordered_by_name()
{
// Create some test data
var data = new List<Blog>
{
new Blog{ Name = "BBB" },
new Blog{ Name = "CCC" },
new Blog{ Name = "AAA" }
};
// Create a mock set and context
var set = new Mock<DbSet<Blog>>()
.SetupData(data);
var context = new Mock<BloggingContext>();
context.Setup(c => c.Blogs).Returns(set.Object);
// Create a BlogsController and invoke the Index action
var controller = new BlogsController(context.Object);
var result = await controller.Index();
// Check the results
var blogs = (List<Blog>)result.Model;
Assert.AreEqual(3, blogs.Count());
Assert.AreEqual("AAA", blogs[0].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("BBB", blogs[1].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("CCC", blogs[2].Name);
}
EntityFramework.Testing.Moq.Ninject provides a Ninject Module to auto mock DbContext and its DbSet<> properties using Ninject.MockingKernel.Moq.
[TestMethod]
public async Task Index_returns_blogs_ordered_by_name()
{
using (var kernel = new MoqMockingKernel())
{
kernel.Load(new EntityFrameworkTestingMoqModule());
// Create some test data
var data = new List<Blog>
{
new Blog{ Name = "BBB" },
new Blog{ Name = "CCC" },
new Blog{ Name = "AAA" }
};
// Setup mock set
kernel.GetMock<DbSet<Blog>>()
.SetupData(data);
// Get a BlogsController and invoke the Index action
var controller = kernel.Get<BlogsController>();
var result = await controller.Index();
// Check the results
var blogs = (List<Blog>)result.Model;
Assert.AreEqual(3, blogs.Count());
Assert.AreEqual("AAA", blogs[0].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("BBB", blogs[1].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("CCC", blogs[2].Name);
}
}
EntityFramework.Testing.NSubstitute provides a helpful extension method to mock EntityFramework's DbSets using NSubstitute.
For example, given the following controller.
public class BlogsController : Controller
{
private readonly BloggingContext db;
public BlogsController(BloggingContext context)
{
db = context;
}
public async Task<ViewResult> Index()
{
var query = db.Blogs.OrderBy(b => b.Name);
return View(await query.ToListAsync());
}

new Blog{ Name = "CCC" },
new Blog{ Name = "AAA" }
};
// Create a DbSet substitute.
var set = Substitute.For<DbSet<Blog>, IQueryable<Blog>, IDbAsyncEnumerable<Blog>>()
.SetupData(data);
var context = Substitute.For<BloggingContext>();
context.Blogs.Returns(set);
// Create a BlogsController and invoke the Index action
var controller = new BlogsController(context);
var result = await controller.Index();
// Check the results
var blogs = (List<Blog>)result.Model;
Assert.AreEqual(3, blogs.Count());
Assert.AreEqual("AAA", blogs[0].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("BBB", blogs[1].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("CCC", blogs[2].Name);

Assert.AreEqual(3, blogs.Count());
Assert.AreEqual("AAA", blogs[0].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("BBB", blogs[1].Name);
Assert.AreEqual("CCC", blogs[2].Name);
}
}
EntityFramework.Testing.FakeItEasy provides a helpful extension method to mock EntityFramework's DbSets using FakeItEasy.
For example, given the following controller.
public class BlogsController : Controller
{
private readonly BloggingContext db;
public BlogsController(BloggingContext context)
{

}
public async Task<ViewResult> Index()
