Route testing with WebApiContrib

Question

I have a WebApi project that I am trying to test. I have a controller -

public class UserController : ApiController
{
    public string Get()
    {
        return "foo";
    }
}

I need to test the route and I am trying to use WebApiContrib.Testing package.

Now, my problem is that while registering routes, I use GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes which is of type HttpRouteCollection.

In my test, I can access RouteTable.Routes but this is of type RouteCollection.

As a result, I can't register the WebApi routes in my test, because of this type incompatibility.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Answer 1

I resolved this by using:

WebApiConfig.Register( GlobalConfiguration.Configuration );

In TestFixtureSetup
