Lesson 5.17: Upgrade Blazor Project and Dependencies to .NET 5

With the release of .NET 5, it is time for us to upgrade our simple-game solution to the latest version of .NET. Luckily .NET 5 is actually the next progression of .NET Core 3.1, so there aren't many major breaking changes to get this to work. We need to get onto the latest versions because … Continue reading Lesson 5.17: Upgrade Blazor Project and Dependencies to .NET 5 →

How-to: Add bUnit Test Project to Blazor Solution

Having automated tests for our Blazor applications is very important. We can use xUnit (or any other) test framework to write unit tests for the C# classes in our app. However, some part of our logic (even if it's just the databinding logic) lives in Blazor components and pages. For those to be tested, we … Continue reading How-to: Add bUnit Test Project to Blazor Solution →

Lesson 1.11: The Wrap

This chapter took us through the basics of creating a console application using the Spectre.Console.Cli library. This library removes a lot of the boilerplate code needed to parse command-line arguments and map them to operations in our code. By adopting their Command pattern, we are able to focus on our code and functionality without having … Continue reading Lesson 1.11: The Wrap →

Lesson 1.10: CLI End to End Tests

Unit tests are just one type of test that we can use to validate our console application. While those are validating that command logic is working in isolation, we also need to verify that our command configuration was done correctly, that our repository is working, and that the command line works the way our users … Continue reading Lesson 1.10: CLI End to End Tests →

Lesson 1.9: Unit Testing Commands

The detailed description for just one test and how to run it got longer than expected, so we are putting the remaining command tests in this separate lesson. We won't go over each test in excruciating detail in this lesson. Instead, we will only focus on the differences or uniqueness of particular tests. For detailed … Continue reading Lesson 1.9: Unit Testing Commands →

Lesson 1.8: Our First Command Unit Test

Having created our unit test project in lesson 1.7, we are ready to start writing some tests. This lesson will focus on the mechanics of setting up our first test in xUnit, how to mock our IUniversityRepository dependency, and the strategy of which tests to write to cover all of the scenarios for our commands. … Continue reading Lesson 1.8: Our First Command Unit Test →

Lesson 1.6: Using Dependency Injection

In lesson 1.5, we discussed what dependency injection was and how to build two classes to integrate our DI engine into the Spectre.Console.Cli app. This lesson will build on that and show how we can use dependency injection in a more robust example. We will build a fully-functional IUniversityRepository, which implements all of the CRUD … Continue reading Lesson 1.6: Using Dependency Injection →

Lesson 1.5: Setting up Dependency Injection Components

Spectre.Console supports the ability to use dependency injection to find types for our commands. The library has an integration mechanism so that developers can use their favorite DI engine with their command-line app. In this lesson, we will learn how to integrate the .NET Extensions dependency injection engine with Spectre.Console. If you are unfamiliar with … Continue reading Lesson 1.5: Setting up Dependency Injection Components →
