Unit testing about umbraco-graphql HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm closing this as I've done a larger rewrite and all the new code is tested.

from umbraco-graphql.

Yes, I think it would be a good time to look into it. It's been on my todo list for a while now, but I've only got as far as creating the test project (which I've just committed and pushed).

All the help we can get on this is much appreciated :-)

I've made some changes in the umbraco8 branch were a lot of the stuff has interfaces now (to make it work nicely with the DI), this should make it easier to do unit tests i think.

Without knowing much about the project nor graphql there's not much I can give. ;)

But a general advice is to stub as close to IO as possible to test as many participants as possible at once. If this is using the content cache, I'd go with the xml overriding technique with Umbraco's own tests:

If you're exposing a WebApi endpoint you can actually test that through HTTP hosting your endpoint from your test process. Here's an example of doing it for OData.

Other than that, read TDD books and just get started. :) Can't swim if you don't jump in.
