Integration testing with Azure development fabric and IISExpress

Posted on March 18, 2012

This post puts together the code posted in the previous two posts (here and here).

The following code is what I am using the spin up the Azure storage emulator, Azure compute emulator and IISExpress so that I can run my system through its integration tests.

namespace MySystem.Server.Web.IntegrationTests
{
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
    using Neovolve.Toolkit.Azure;
    using Neovolve.Toolkit.TestSupport;
    using WatiN.Core;
    
    /// <summary>
    /// The <see cref="Initialization"/> class is used to run assembly initialization work for the test assembly.
    /// </summary>
    [TestClass]
    public static class Initialization
    {
        /// <summary>
        ///   Stores the IIS Express reference entity.
        /// </summary>
        private static IisExpress _iisExpress;
    
        #region Setup/Teardown
    
        /// <summary>
        /// Cleans up after running the unit tests in an assembly.
        /// </summary>
        [AssemblyCleanup]
        public static void AssemblyCleanup()
        {
            Task iisExpressTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(
                () =>
                    {
                        _iisExpress.Dispose();
                        _iisExpress = null;
                    });
    
            Task storageTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(AzureEmulator.StopStorage);
            Task computeTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(AzureEmulator.StopCompute);
    
            Task.WaitAll(iisExpressTask, storageTask, computeTask);
        }
    
        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes the assembly for running unit tests.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="context">
        /// The context. 
        /// </param>
        [AssemblyInitialize]
        public static void AssemblyInitialize(TestContext context)
        {
            // Set WatiN to not move the mouse
            Settings.Instance.AutoMoveMousePointerToTopLeft = false;
    
            Task iisExpressTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(
                () =>
                    {
                        String solutionDirectory = context.FindSolutionDirectory();
                        String stsProjectDirectory = Path.Combine(solutionDirectory, "[TheNameOfMySTSProject]");
    
                        _iisExpress = new IisExpress();
    
                        _iisExpress.Start(stsProjectDirectory, 35026);
                    });
    
            Task storageTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(AzureEmulator.StartStorage);
            Task computeTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(AzureEmulator.StartCompute);
    
            Task.WaitAll(iisExpressTask, storageTask, computeTask);
        }
    
        #endregion
    }
}

Enjoy
