I’ve previously written a quick post showing a unit test for v4 preview release. I thought I’d update it.

Goal

Unit Test a dialog we’ve written that asks for a user first and second name.

Steps for creating a unit Test

1. Create a unit test project in your solution, I chose an MS Test project
2. Using Nuget install Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs into the MS Test project
3. Reference your Bot project
4. Create a unit test, remember to make it async Task

[TestMethod]
public async Task CreatingAGoodContact()
{
    var convoState = new ConversationState(new MemoryStorage());

    var adapter = new TestAdapter()
        .Use(new AutoSaveStateMiddleware(convoState));

    var dialogState = convoState.CreateProperty("dialogState");

    var dialogs = new DialogSet(dialogState);
    dialogs.Add(new CreateContactDialog(null));

    await new TestFlow(adapter, async (turnContext, cancellationToken) =>
    {
        var dc = await dialogs.CreateContextAsync(turnContext, cancellationToken);
        await dc.ContinueDialogAsync(cancellationToken);
        if (!turnContext.Responded)
        {
            await dc.BeginDialogAsync("CreateContactDialog", null, cancellationToken);
        }
    })
    .Send("Say something to start test")
    .AssertReply("What is their first name?")
    .Send("Jane")
    .AssertReply("What is their last name?")
    .Send("Tan")
    .AssertReply($"I have created a contact called Jane Tan")
    .StartTestAsync();
}
