I have a rest service that I have created with ServiceStack, using nHibernate as a way of getting the data from a SqlCe database. I've been trying to write some unit tests using nUnit and Moq - I have successfully mocked the nHibernate implementation to return null, invalid objects and so on - but my tests always throw a NullReferenceException
when it calls the base class to set the HttpStatus etc.
public List <ParameterDto> Get (ParameterAll parameterAll)
{
List <ParameterDto> parameterResponseList = new List <ParameterDto> ();
try
{
List <ParameterDomainObject> parameterDomainObjectList = _ParameterDao.getAllParameters ();
foreach (ParameterDomainObject parameterDomainObject in parameterDomainObjectList)
{
parameterResponseList.Add (parameterDomainObject.ToDto ());
}
}
catch (WebServiceException webEx)
{
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.ErrorCode " + webEx.ErrorCode);
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.ErrorMessage " + webEx.ErrorMessage);
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.ResponseStatus " + webEx.ResponseStatus);
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.StatusCode " + webEx.StatusCode);
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.StatusDescription " + webEx.StatusDescription);
Debug.WriteLine ("WebServiceException.ErrorCode " + webEx.ErrorCode);
}
catch (DomainObjectNotFoundException domainObjectNotFoundException)
{
base.Response.StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.NotFound;
base.Response.AddHeader ("Reason",
domainObjectNotFoundException.Message);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Debug.WriteLine ("Exception: " + exception.Message);
base.Response.StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;
base.Response.AddHeader ("Reason",
exception.Message);
}
/* Always throws an exception here, or anywhere base.Response is called */
base.Response.StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.OK;
base.Response.AddHeader ("Reason",
Strings.ParameterRestResponse_Get_OK);
return parameterResponseList;
}
The service works fine when testing it with RestClient and Firefox, and when I comment out the base.Response
code so I'm guessing I'm just not setting something up right in the unit tests maybe?

mockedParameterDao.Setup (returns => returns.getAllParameters ()).Returns (new List <ParameterDomainObject> ());
Assert.IsNotNull (mockedParameterDao);
ParameterRestService service = new ParameterRestService(mockedParameterDao.Object)
{
RequestContext = mockedRequestContext.Object
};
List <ParameterDto> parameterDtos = service.Get (new ParameterAll ());
}
