Let's review testing view models.
0:01
In this case, we're just going to focus on the simple version.
0:04
So we have a view model and we need to provide it a request.
0:07
What does that look like? Well, we have test.
0:10
We're going to validate that there's an error
0:11
if we have no email. So we're going to arrange.
0:15
Remember the 3 As of unit testing, Arrange, Act, Assert.
0:19
So here's our arrange. We're going to create the dummy_request.
0:21
We're going to give it the Post dictionary.
0:23
And this is the simulated values from the form
0:26
so we're simulating there's no email submitted
0:29
but there is a password of value pw submitted.
0:32
We're going to act. I'm going to create our login view model
0:35
using the dummy pregenerated request object
0:38
and then we're going to validate that
0:40
and then we're going to assert that email is in the error
0:43
first, effectively that there is an error
0:46
and that email is in it.
