We’re developing an aspnet core website with webapi backend all on a cloud platform. The auth part is implemented with openidconnect and cookies. Every tab is a new application to reduce release and test times. For the website / applications we have a razor class library that contains the main layout. See all posts in this series

Our adapters use IRestClient that is injected during construction. Only using the interface is hard, since it is very limited. Ease of use is with the extension methods, but needs some extra setup. The magic is in the SetupRestClient helper method that configures the use of json and returns the response (with data) constructed with the GetContent* helper methods. Below an example for testing the get of 6 records.
using RestSharp; // see https://restsharp.dev
using AutoMoqCore; // see https://github.com/thomashfr/AutoMoqCore
private static void SetupRestclient(AutoMoqer autoMoqer, RestResponse response)
var defaultSerializer = new SerializerConfig();
defaultSerializer.UseDefaultSerializers();
var serializers = new RestSerializers(defaultSerializer);
var fakeClient = autoMoqer.GetMock<IRestClient>();
fakeClient.SetupGet(x => x.Serializers).Returns(serializers);
fakeClient.Setup(x => x.ExecuteAsync(
It.IsAny<RestRequest>(),
It.IsAny<CancellationToken>()))
.ReturnsAsync(response);
private static string GetContentFor6Records()
var items = Enumerable.Repeat(new Record(), 6);
return JsonSerializer.Serialize(items);
[TestMethod]
public async Task GetRecords_returns_6_items()
var autoMoqer = new AutoMoqer();
// arrange
SetupRestclient(autoMoqer, new RestResponse { Content = GetContentFor6Records() });
//act
var testObject = autoMoqer.Create<RecordApiAdapter>();
// assert
var items = await testObject.GetRecords();
Assert.AreEqual(6, items.Length);
