I have a model class:
public class Work
{
public long Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I want this Work.Name
will be unique, so I define the DbContext
:
public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
public MyDbContext () : base() { }
public MyDbContext (DbContextOptions<MyDbContext > options) : base(options) { }
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Work>(entity =>
entity.HasIndex(e => e.Name).IsUnique()
);
}
public DbSet<Work> Works { get; set; }
}
And I want to test this, so I have a test like this:
[Fact]
public void Post_InsertDuplicateWork_ShouldThrowException()
{
var work = new Work
{
Name = "Test Work"
};
using (var context = new MyDbContext (options))
{
context.Works.Add(work);
context.SaveChanges();
}
using (var context = new MyDbContext (options))
{
context.Works.Add(work);
context.SaveChanges();
}
using (var context = new MyDbContext (options))
{
Assert.Equal(1, context.Works.Count());
}
}
( The option
object contains settings for InMemoryDatabase
)
I don't really know what to check, but the test failed in the Assert
, not in the second SaveChanges()
. The database (the context
) contains two objects with the same Name
.
I went over all the relevant questions, but I did not see anyone answering what I was asking.
As others pointed out InMemory database provider ignore all possible constraints.
My suggestion would be then to use Sqlite provider with "in-memory' feature, which will throw an exception for duplicate unique keys.
public MyDbContext CreateSqliteContext()
{
var connectionString =
new SqliteConnectionStringBuilder { DataSource = ":memory:" }.ToString();
var connection = new SqliteConnection(connectionString);
var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<MyDbContext>().UseSqlite(connection);
return new MyDbContext(options);
}
private void Insert(Work work)
{
using (var context = CreateSqliteContext())
{
context.Works.Add(work);
context.SaveChanges();
}
}
[Fact]
public void Post_InsertDuplicateWork_ShouldThrowException()
{
var work1 = new Work { Name = "Test Work" };
var work2 = new Work { Name = "Test Work" };
Insert(work1);
Action saveDuplicate = () => Insert(work2);
saveDuplicate.Should().Throw<DbUpdateException>(); // Pass Ok
}
