How to unit test Microsoft bot dialog with prompt
I am using Microsoft Bot Framework and I am trying to unit test (in isolation) a dialog that I have:
public class MyDialog : IDialog
{
public async Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context)
{
PromptDialog.Confirm(context, MessageReceived, "Are you sure?", "Sorry what was that?");
}
private async Task MessageReceived(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<bool> result)
{
bool isSure = await result;
string response = isSure ? "Awesome" : "Sorry";
IMessageActivity messageActivity = context.MakeMessage();
messageActivity.Text = response;
await context.PostAsync(messageActivity);
context.Done<object>(null);
}
}
I want to prove that if the returned IA result comes in as true it responds with "Awesome", and if its false its "Sorry".
PromptDialog is a class with a static method Validate
I have checked modules dialogs before successfully using moq to mock the IMessageActivity and IDialogContext being passed to the dialog. It seems more complicated because I want to mock the state of the dialog.
Still:
[TestFixture]
public class Tests
{
private Mock<IDialogContext> _dialogContext;
private Mock<IMessageActivity> _messageActivity;
private MyDialog _myDialog;
[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
_dialogContext = new Mock<IDialogContext>();
_messageActivity = new Mock<IMessageActivity>();
_messageActivity.SetupAllProperties();
_dialogContext.SetupSequence(x => x.MakeMessage())
.Returns(_messageActivity.Object);
_myDialog = new MyDialog();
}
[Test]
public void GivenTrue_WhenIConfirmPrompt_ThenAwesome()
{
_myDialog
.StartAsync(_dialogContext.Object)
.Wait(CancellationToken.None);
Assert.That(_messageActivity.Object.Text, Is.EqualTo("Awesome"));
}
[Test]
public void GivenTrue_WhenIRejectPrompt_ThenSorry()
{
_myDialog
.StartAsync(_dialogContext.Object)
.Wait(CancellationToken.None);
Assert.That(_messageActivity.Object.Text, Is.EqualTo("Sorry"));
}
}
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to do this?

A good source for understanding how using unit tests dialog boxes is the Microsoft.Bot.Sample.Tests project from the BotBuilder GitHub repository .
There you will find the way the Bot Framework team runs unit tests. EchoBotTests are the easiest to start with. It shows how to send a message to a bot and get a response to it using a mocked factory connector.
The key is to inherit from DialogTestBase , which provides very useful helper methods.
