Maybe I am confused or due to working from home I am not able to think.
I have Web API 2.0 project which is receiving models in end points. I have android client which is sending Date in milliseconds format and for same end point i have MVC client which is sending date in "LOGINDATE": "2020-04-05T01:00:21.45+04:00". the date from MVC is not accepted by API and gives an error on model state like
System.FormatException: DateTime content
'2020-04-05T10:52:42.333+04:00' does not start with '/Date(' and end
with ')/' as required for JSON.
I have forced the WebApi to use the newtonsoft json formatter but when i debug the exception i found
System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.JsonReaderDelegator.ParseJsonDateInDefaultFormat(String originalDateTimeValue)
Following is the WEBAPICONFIG code for forcing use the newtonsoft mediatype.
var jsonFormatter = config.Formatters.OfType<JsonMediaTypeFormatter>().First();
jsonFormatter.UseDataContractJsonSerializer = true;
JsonSerializerSettings CustomJsonSetting = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore,
PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects,
DateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Local,
DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat,
//DateFormatString = "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss"
};
CustomJsonSetting.Converters.Clear();
CustomJsonSetting.Converters.Add(new IsoDateTimeConverter());
JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => CustomJsonSetting;
jsonFormatter.SerializerSettings = CustomJsonSetting;
config.Formatters.Clear();
config.Formatters.Insert(0,jsonFormatter);
Then from MVC client i am compressing GZIP and sending the call like following:
var frmt = UniversalFormatters.GetJsonFormatter();
if (IsCompressionEnabled)
{
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(request, frmt.SerializerSettings);
//new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(request);
//
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("pHubCompression", "1");
var content = new CompressedContent(
new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"),
CompressionMethod.GZip);
return await client.PostAsync(EndPoint, content);
}
else
return await client.PostAsync(EndPoint, request, frmt);
And Universal Formatter is defined as
public static JsonMediaTypeFormatter GetJsonFormatter()
{
if (JsonFormatter==null)
{
JsonFormatter = new JsonMediaTypeFormatter();
JsonFormatter.UseDataContractJsonSerializer = true;
JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects;
JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.DateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Utc;
JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat;
JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.DateFormatString = "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss";
}
return JsonFormatter;
}
I have done a bit R&D and people mentioned to create my own date formater which is a work around but i wanted to know if there is something wrong with my setting.
My Model is defined like following:
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(Namespace = "http://MyProj.Core.Entities", Name = "RequestObject{0}")]
public class RequestObject<T> : IDisposable//, IEntity
//where T : IEntity, IEntityCollection, ICompositeEntity
{
private UserInfo m_userInfo;
private T m_obj;}
and UserInfo is defined like
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Runtime.Serialization", "3.0.0.0")]
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(Namespace = "http://MyProj.Business.Contracts", Name = "UserInfo")]
public partial class UserInfo : BaseEntity, IEntity, IDisposable
{
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = true)]
public DateTime? LOGINDATE { set; get; }}
Sorry for my bad English.
according to above comment by #dbc I removed JsonFormatter.UseDataContractJsonSerializer = true; this line from my startups and everything starts working. Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to write a middleware for batch requests i .net core 2.0.
So far the I have splitted the request, pipe each request on to the controllers.
The controllers return value, but for some reason the response on the created context that I parse to the controllers keeps giving me a NullStream in the body, so I think that there is something that I miss in my setup.
The code looks like this:
var json = await streamHelper.StreamToJson(context.Request.Body);
var requests = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<RequestModel>>(json);
var responseBody = new List<ResponseModel>();
foreach (var request in requests)
{
var newRequest = new HttpRequestFeature
{
Body = request.Body != null ? new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(request.Body)) : null,
Headers = context.Request.Headers,
Method = request.Method,
Path = request.RelativeUrl,
PathBase = string.Empty,
Protocol = context.Request.Protocol,
Scheme = context.Request.Scheme,
QueryString = context.Request.QueryString.Value
};
var newRespone = new HttpResponseFeature();
var requestLifetimeFeature = new HttpRequestLifetimeFeature();
var features = CreateDefaultFeatures(context.Features);
features.Set<IHttpRequestFeature>(newRequest);
features.Set<IHttpResponseFeature>(newRespone);
features.Set<IHttpRequestLifetimeFeature>(requestLifetimeFeature);
var innerContext = _factory.Create(features);
await _next(innerContext);
var responseJson = await streamHelper.StreamToJson(innerContext.Response.Body);
I'm not sure what it is I'm missing in the setup, since innerContext.Response.Body isn't set.
One of the endpoints that I use for testing and that gets hit looks like this
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ValuesController : Controller
{
// GET api/values
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
I found the error, or two errors for it to work.
First I had to change my newResponse to
var newRespone = new HttpResponseFeature{ Body = new MemoryStream() };
Since HttpResponseFeature sets Body to Stream.Null in the constructor.
When that was done, then Body kept giving an empty string when trying to read it. That was fixed by setting the Position to Zero like
innerContext.Response.Body.Position = 0;
I've never had to do this before, because it's always only been an actual form that I've posted as that content type, but recently I had to post three variables like that, and I resorted to a sordid concatenation with & and =:
var content = new StringContent("grant_type=password&username=" + username + "&password=" + password.ToClearString(), Encoding.UTF8,
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
I'm sure there must be a utility method that would do that, and do it better, with any necessary encoding. What would that be?
If this is a POCO and just using the Newtonsoft library, you can use this as well:
public static class FormUrlEncodedContentExtension
{
public static FormUrlEncodedContent ToFormUrlEncodedContent(this object obj)
{
var json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj);
var keyValues = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(json);
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(keyValues);
return content;
}
}
And a sample usage would be:
var myObject = new MyObject {Grant_Type = "TypeA", Username = "Hello", Password = "World"};
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "/path/to/post/to")
{
Content = myObject.ToFormUrlEncodedContent()
};
var client = new HttpClient {BaseAddress = new Uri("http://www.mywebsite.com")};
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
Use reflection to get the property names and values and then use them to create a System.Net.Http.FormUrlEncodedContent
public static class FormUrlEncodedContentExtension {
public static FormUrlEncodedContent ToFormUrlEncodedContent(this object obj) {
var nameValueCollection = obj.GetType()
.GetProperties()
.ToDictionary(p => p.Name, p => (p.GetValue(obj) ?? "").ToString());
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(nameValueCollection);
return content;
}
}
From there it is a simple matter of calling the extension method on an object to convert it to a FormUrlEncodedContent
var model = new MyModel {
grant_type = "...",
username = "...",
password = "..."
};
var content = model.ToFormUrlEncodedContent();
You should be able to use string interpolation for that. Something like:
var content = new StringContent($"grant_type=password&username={username}&password={password}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
Or wrap this inside a helper/factory method:
public static class StringContentFactory
{
public static StringContent Build(string username, string password)
{
return new StringContent($"grant_type=password&username={username}&password={password}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
}
}
I’m trying to fake http context to test a Controller. My environment is MVC 3 and Moq 4.
So far I have tried a few options including:
a.
var searchController = new MySearchController(_mockResolver.Object.Resolve<IConfiguration>());
var mockContext = new Mock<ControllerContext>();
searchController.ControllerContext = mockContext.Object;
var result = searchController.Render();
b.
var searchController = new MopSearchController(_mockResolver.Object.Resolve<IConfiguration>());
searchController.MockControllerContext();
var result = searchController.Render();
public static class MockHttpHelper
{
public static Mock<HttpContextBase> MockControllerContext(
this Controller controller, string path = null)
{
var mockHttpCtx = MockHttpHelper.MockHttpContext(path);
var requestCtx = new RequestContext(mockHttpCtx.Object, new RouteData());
var controllerCtx = new ControllerContext(requestCtx, controller);
controller.ControllerContext = controllerCtx;
return mockHttpCtx;
}
public static Mock<HttpContextBase> MockHttpContext(string path)
{
var mockHttpCtx = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
var mockReq = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();
mockReq.SetupGet(x => x.RequestType).Returns("GET");
mockReq.SetupGet(req => req.Form).Returns(new NameValueCollection());
mockReq.SetupGet(req => req.QueryString).Returns(new NameValueCollection());
mockHttpCtx.SetupGet(x => x.Request).Returns(mockReq.Object);
return mockHttpCtx;
}
}
Neither of these work, I get the exception below. Can anyone point me in the direction of a working example? I’ve seen quite a few questions on the net around the same topic, but given the date (posts from 2008-2010) and MVC version (i.e. 1 and 2) I feel like I’m missing something / or trying to mock more than I need to in MVC3.

Yes, all you were really missing, as you've noted, was setting the Controller's ValueProvider. Even though you're using this controller with a Get action but no Post action, the Controller still gets its ValueProvider instantiated upon creation, so you need to do the same thing in your test scenario. Here's the base class that I use when testing my controllers. I use NBehave's NUnit wrapper for unit testing, so ignore the SpecBase reference if you wish
public abstract class MvcSpecBase<T> : SpecBase<T> where T : Controller
{
protected T Controller { get; set; }
protected string RelativePath = string.Empty;
protected string AbsolutePath = string.Empty;
protected void InitialiseController(T controller, NameValueCollection collection, params string[] routePaths)
{
Controller = controller;
var routes = new RouteCollection();
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(routes);
var httpContext = ContextHelper.FakeHttpContext(RelativePath, AbsolutePath, routePaths);
var context = new ControllerContext(new RequestContext(httpContext, new RouteData()), Controller);
var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(new RequestContext(httpContext, new RouteData()), routes);
Controller.ControllerContext = context;
Controller.ValueProvider = new NameValueCollectionValueProvider(collection, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
Controller.Url = urlHelper;
}
}
Then, in your test, create your controller and then call this line:
InitialiseController(controller, new FormCollection());
I have some code that uses HostingEnvironment.MapPath which I would like to unit test.
How can I setup HostingEnvironment so that it returns a path and not null in my unit test (mstest) project?
Why would you have a code that depends on HostingEnvironment.MapPath in an ASP.NET MVC application where you have access to objects like HttpServerUtilityBase which allow you to achieve this and which can be easily mocked and unit tested?
Let's take an example: a controller action which uses the abstract Server class that we want to unit test:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
var file = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/foo.txt");
return View((object)file);
}
}
Now, there are many ways to unit test this controller action. Personally I like using the MVcContrib.TestHelper.
But let's see how we can do this using a mocking framework out-of-the-box. I use Rhino Mocks for this example:
[TestMethod]
public void Index_Action_Should_Calculate_And_Pass_The_Physical_Path_Of_Foo_As_View_Model()
{
// arrange
var sut = new HomeController();
var server = MockRepository.GeneratePartialMock<HttpServerUtilityBase>();
var context = MockRepository.GeneratePartialMock<HttpContextBase>();
context.Expect(x => x.Server).Return(server);
var expected = #"c:\work\App_Data\foo.txt";
server.Expect(x => x.MapPath("~/App_Data/foo.txt")).Return(expected);
var requestContext = new RequestContext(context, new RouteData());
sut.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext(requestContext, sut);
// act
var actual = sut.Index();
// assert
var viewResult = actual as ViewResult;
Assert.AreEqual(viewResult.Model, expected);
}
Well I was writing a test today for code that I don't control and they used
private static String GetApplicationPath()
{
return HostingEnvironment.ApplicationVirtualPath.TrimEnd('/');
}
so here is a C# reflection hack to set that value
var path = "/aaaa/bb";
HostingEnvironment hostingEnvironment;
if (HostingEnvironment.IsHosted.isFalse())
new HostingEnvironment();
hostingEnvironment = (HostingEnvironment)typeof(HostingEnvironment).fieldValue("_theHostingEnvironment");
var virtualPath = "System.Web".assembly()
.type("VirtualPath").ctor();
virtualPath.field("_virtualPath", path);
//return virtualPath.prop("VirtualPathString");
//return virtualPath.prop("VirtualPathStringNoTrailingSlash");
hostingEnvironment.field("_appVirtualPath", virtualPath);
//hostingEnvironment.field("_appVirtualPath") == virtualPath;
return HostingEnvironment.ApplicationVirtualPath == path;
//using System.Web.Hosting
It will depend on what mocking or isolation framework you are using. You might want to look into either a) creating a wrapper type around the static property that can be mocked, or b) using a framework which can mock static properties - e.g. Moles or Typemock Isolator
As i faced same issue i changed my code bit.
From
strhtmlTemplate = File.ReadAllText(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(Lgetfilepath.CVal));
To
strhtmlTemplate = File.ReadAllText(HttpContextFactory.Current.Server.MapPath(Lgetfilepath.CVal));
For Unit test
public HttpContextBase mockHttpContextBase()
{
var moqContext = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
var moqRequest = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();
var moqServer = new Mock<HttpServerUtilityBase>();
var moqPath = new Mock<ConfigurationBase>();
moqContext.Setup(x => x.Request).Returns(moqRequest.Object);
moqContext.Setup(x => x.Server.MapPath(#"~\Data\xxxxxxx")).Returns(Environment.CurrentDirectory+#"\xxxxxx");
setupApplication(moqContext);
return moqContext.Object;
}
Now we while Writing TestClass you need to refer above method to mock. Hope it will helpful for your TestCases.
MockDataUT mockData = new MockDataUT();
var mockRequestContext = new HttpRequestContext();
HttpContextFactory.SetCurrentContext(mockData.mockHttpContextBase());
Just use this code..
Make a new folder name Reference in root directory and added your file inside this folder.
Use this
public static XElement GetFile()
{
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(new HttpRequest("", "http://www.google.com", ""), new HttpResponse(new StringWriter()));
var doc = new XmlDocument();
var file = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("\\") + "abc.xml";
doc.Load(file);
var e = XElement.Load(new XmlNodeReader(doc));
return e;
}
I'm trying to create a Facebook Mobile Application using asp.net and MVC3 and integrate Facebook Credits as a payment method. First of all, taking the recent annoucements into consideration, is it now possible to have a mobile web application that accepts Facebook Credits?
If so, I've taken the example provided in the following post
http://www.m-webs.com/blog_facebookcredits.html
And implemented the following Controller action:
public JsonResult CallBack()
{
string fborder_info = Request.Form["order_info"];
string fborder_id = Request.Form["order_id"];
string fbmethod = Request.Form["method"];
if (fbmethod == "payments_get_items")
{
fborder_info = fborder_info.Substring(1, (fborder_info.Length - 2)); // remove the quotes
ulong credscost = 2; // Price of purchase in facebook credits
var theItem = new FacebookBuyItem()
{
item_id = 123456789,
description = "Own yours today!",
price = credscost,
title = "Digital Unicorn",
product_url = "http://www.facebook.com/images/gifts/21.png",
image_url = "http://www.facebook.com/images/gifts/21.png"
};
var res = new Dictionary<string, object>();
res["method"] = fbmethod;
res["order_id"] = fborder_id;
res["content"] = new object[] { theItem };
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var ob = jss.Serialize(res);
ob = ob.Replace("#$", #"\/".Replace("//", #"\/"));
return Json(ob, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
return null;
}
I've verified that the callback is being requested by facebook, and I've also captured the response being sent back, which appears to contain all of the required information to display the purchase dialog, but I'm still getting the following error message:
API Error Code: 1151
API Error Description: Sorry, but this app may not be eligible to accept Facebook Credits. If this app has accepted credits before, please try again.
Error Message: Invalid Application
and when tested from a mobile browser:
Sorry, but we're having trouble processing your payment. You have not been charged for this transaction. Please try again.
I've also noticed that my callback is being requested twice which doesn't seem right either.
Any insight into how to get my integration up and running would be greatly appreciated. My Facebook AppId is 177876855621874
Thanks.
Update: So I played around with the examples given and reverted back to webforms in order to test the example given at http://www.m-webs.com/blog_facebookcredits.html. In order to get this solution working in an asp.net MVC3 application I had to change the action type to HttpResponse instead of JsonResult which makes sense as the JsonResult leaves elements out that would normally be included in a HttpResponse.
So the Controller Action ended up looking like this:
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponse CallBack()
{
if (Request.Form["signed_request"] != null)
{
var decodeFbSignedRequest = FacebookSignedRequest.Parse(FacebookApplication.Current.AppSecret,
Request.Form["signed_request"]);
LogHelper.MicroLogMsg("SIGNED REQUEST DECODE:: " + decodeFbSignedRequest.Data);
}
string fborder_id = Request.Form["order_id"];
string fbmethod = Request.Form["method"];
string fborder_info = Request.Form["order_info"]; // Use this to look up a product on the database..
if (fbmethod == "payments_get_items")
{
int credscost = 2; // Price of purchase in facebook credits
var theItem = new FacebookBuyItem()
{
item_id = "123456AA",
description = "[Test Mode] Own yours today!",
price = credscost,
title = "[Test Mode] Digital Unicorn",
product_url = #"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/images\/gifts\/21.png",
image_url = #"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/images\/gifts\/21.png"
};
// Return the initial response to FB
//------------------------------------------
var res = new Dictionary<string, object>();
res["method"] = fbmethod;
res["content"] = new object[] { theItem };
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string ob = jss.Serialize(res);
LogHelper.MicroLogMsg(ob);
Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Response.Write(ob);
Response.End();
}
return null;
}
I hope this helps out anyone doing an MVC3 implementation for Facebook Credits.
