    Unit Testing Help

    I'm trying to introduce some unit testing to extended Umbraco functionality but I think I may be overcomplicating things.

    This is the Method I'm trying to test.

    public class CareersService : ICareersService
    {
        private readonly IPublishedContentQuery _contentQuery;
        private readonly IPublishedContentWrapper _publishedContent;
        private readonly IConverter<IPublishedContent, IJob> _converter;
    
        public CareersService(IPublishedContentQuery contentQuery, IPublishedContentWrapper publishedContent, IConverter<IPublishedContent, IJob> converter)
        {
            _contentQuery = contentQuery;
            _publishedContent = publishedContent;
            _converter = converter;
        }
    
        ...
    
        public IEnumerable<IJob> GetAllJobs()
        {
            var root = _contentQuery.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault();
            var jobPostings = _publishedContent.DescendantsOfType(root, "jobPosting");
            var jobs = jobPostings.Select(x => _converter.Convert(x));
    
            return jobs;
        }
    
        ...
    }
    

    the IPublishedContentWrapper is a wrapper so I can test the DescendantsOfType extension method.

    public interface IPublishedContentWrapper
    {
        IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> DescendantsOfType(IPublishedContent node, string alias);
    }
    
    public class PublishedContentWrapper : IPublishedContentWrapper
    {
        public IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> DescendantsOfType(IPublishedContent node, string alias)
        {
            return node?.DescendantsOfType(alias) ?? Enumerable.Empty<IPublishedContent>();
        }
    }
    

    and the converter is just handling conversion to my job model

    public class IPublishedContentToIJobConverter : IConverter<IPublishedContent, IJob>
    {
        public IJob Convert(IPublishedContent source)
        {
            var results = new Job()
            {
                Id = source.Id,
                Name = source.Name,
                PostDate = source.Value<DateTime>("postDate"),
                JobTitle = source.Value<string>("jobTitle"),
                Url = source.Url(mode: UrlMode.Absolute),
                Active = source.Value<bool>("active")
            };
    
            return results;
        }
    }
    

    I was following along with the unit testing documentation so I'm using that base class with a couple of modifications and here's my actual test.

        [Fact]
        public void GetAllJobs_ReturnsEnumerableOfJobs()
        {
            var jobNode = new Mock<IPublishedContent>();
            jobNode.Setup(x => x.Id).Returns(782);
            jobNode.Setup(x => x.Name).Returns("Web Developer");
    
            var jobNodes = new List<IPublishedContent>()
            {
                jobNode.Object
            };
    
            var job = new Mock<IJob>();
            job.Setup(x => x.Id).Returns(782);
            job.Setup(x => x.Name).Returns("Web Developer");
    
            var jobs = new List<IJob>()
            {
                job.Object
            };
    
            var siteRoot = new Mock<IPublishedContent>();
            base.PublishedContentWrapper.Setup(x => x.DescendantsOfType(siteRoot.Object, "jobPosting")).Returns(jobNodes);
            _converter.Setup(x => x.Convert(jobNode.Object)).Returns(job.Object);
            var contentAtRoot = new List<IPublishedContent>()
            {
                siteRoot.Object
            };
            base.PublishedContentQuery.Setup(x => x.ContentAtRoot()).Returns(contentAtRoot);
    
            var result = _careers.GetAllJobs();
    
            Assert.Equal(jobs, result);
        }
    

    It passes but it feels unnecessarily complicated for such a simple method. Is there a way to simplify the test or a way you would restructure the method to be more testable?

    I think it looks good and not complicated at all. Your test is easy to follow along and if I would have been new to your project and read this test I would get a good understanding of what it does. #H5YR!

    Hi there, I need to write some unit tests but we still got this error. I use these packages and this code. nothing else . umbraco v12.2.0 . xunit v2.5.3 . NSubstitute v5.1.0

    var content = Substitute.For<IPublishedContent>();
    content.Value<string>("title").Returns("Title");
