How to Test Blazor Components in ABP

Source Code

You can find the source of the example solution used in this article here.

In this article, I will use bUnit for a simple test of a Blazor component.

Getting Started

Use the ABP CLI to create a blazor app

abp new BookStore -t app -u blazor

Then add the BookStore.Blazor.Tests xunit test project to the solution, and add bUnit package and ProjectReference to the test project.

The contents of BookStore.Blazor.Tests.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
        <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
        <IsPackable>false</IsPackable>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="bunit" Version="1.2.49" />
        <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.11.0" />
        <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.Authorization.Abstractions" Version="5.0.1" />
        <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.4.1" />
        <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.4.3">
            <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
            <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
        </PackageReference>
        <PackageReference Include="coverlet.collector" Version="3.1.0">
            <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
            <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
        </PackageReference>
    </ItemGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
      <ProjectReference Include="..\..\src\BookStore.Blazor\BookStore.Blazor.csproj" />
      <ProjectReference Include="..\BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests\BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests.csproj" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Create BookStoreBlazorTestModule that depends on AbpAspNetCoreComponentsModule and BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule.

[DependsOn(
    typeof(AbpAspNetCoreComponentsModule),
    typeof(BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule)
)]
public class BookStoreBlazorTestModule : AbpModule
{

}

Create a BookStoreBlazorTestBase class and add the CreateTestContext method. The CreateTestContext have key code.

It uses ABP's ServiceProvider as a fallback ServiceProvider and add all ABP's services to the TestContext.

public abstract class BookStoreBlazorTestBase : BookStoreTestBase<BookStoreBlazorTestModule>
{
    protected virtual TestContext CreateTestContext()
    {
        var testContext = new TestContext();
        testContext.Services.AddFallbackServiceProvider(ServiceProvider);
        foreach (var service in ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAbpApplicationWithExternalServiceProvider>().Services)
        {
            testContext.Services.Add(service);
        }
        testContext.Services.AddBlazorise().AddBootstrap5Providers().AddFontAwesomeIcons();
        return testContext;
    }
}

Finally, we add an Index_Tests class to test the Index component.

public class Index_Tests : BookStoreBlazorTestBase
{
    [Fact]
    public void Index_Test()
    {
        using (var ctx = CreateTestContext())
        {
            // Act
            var cut = ctx.RenderComponent<BookStore.Blazor.Pages.Index>();

            // Assert
            cut.Find(".lead").InnerHtml.Contains("Welcome to the application. This is a startup project based on the ABP framework. For more information, visit abp.io.").ShouldBeTrue();

            cut.Find("#username").InnerHtml.Contains("Welcome admin").ShouldBeTrue();
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the helpful article. Please note that the CreateTestContext method should also have the following call chained to the AddBlazorise() method as per the blazorise docs :

AddBlazorise() ... .Replace(ServiceDescriptor.Transient<IComponentActivator, ComponentActivator>())
