Unit Testing a loading of correct View in MVC

[TestMethod]
public void AboutReturnsAboutView()
{
     HomeController controller = new HomeController();
     ViewResult result = controller.About() as ViewResult;

     Assert.AreEqual("About", result.ViewName);
}
Note that this will fail if you don't return an explicit view in your controller method, i.e. do this:


     Return(View("About"));
not this:


     Return(View());
Or the test won't pass. You should only need to do this if your method will ever return more than one view, otherwise you should return an implicit view anyway and not bother testing the framework.

Tip # 1: Avoid race condition in app variables

Application.Lock();
Application["tod"] = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(tod.Text);
Application.UnLock();

using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/tod.txt"), false))
{
     file.WriteLine(tod.Text);
}


Tip # 2: Writing file data in single line of code in simplest way

System.IO.File.WriteAllText(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/tod.txt"), tod.Text);


Tip # 3: For pages that are not to be cached always use this meta tag

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
-Works with Chrome

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
-Does NOT work with chrome but works with FF and IE


Tip # 4: Reading file data using single line of code in simplest way

 HttpUtility.HtmlEncode( System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/tod.txt")


instead of

//string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteText.txt");
        // System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteText.txt", text);
    }

Warning:Unable to find optional library: org.apache.http.legacy

In lollipop development the library containing http protocols wont work, for that you have add this line to the gradle.

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

and then sync it



Warning:Unable to find optional library: org.apache.http.legacy


guess, the easier way to solve this issue without having to reinstall the SDK is to create a file called optional.json in <sdk-path>\platforms\android-23\optional\ directory with the following content:

[
  {
    "name": "org.apache.http.legacy",
    "jar": "org.apache.http.legacy.jar",
    "manifest": false
  }
]
It solved the problem for me.

EDIT: Information taken from @domoch's answer below on how to locate your SDK location

To Locate your Android SDK's Location
Go to Android Studio Settings -> Appearence & Behavior -> System Settings and look for Android SDK Location. In Windows, it usually would be pointing to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
