nUnit error Ajax list Create()

Title:

BI{code} ?

Was hoping to be pointed in the right direction, I have an Ajax list where the Create method returns `Json(new {Content = this.RenderPartialView("ListItems/SimpleSyllabi", new[] { newSyallabus }) });` to update the list. However this returns a null reference error when tested with nUnit. Any experience with this problem?

  you can hide the call to `RenderPartialView` with an interface: public interface IViewRender { string RenderPartialView(Controller controller, string viewName, object model = null, bool removeWhiteSpace = true); } public class ViewRender : IViewRender { public string RenderPartialView(Controller controller, string viewName, object model = null, bool removeWhiteSpace = true) { controller.RenderPartialView(viewName, model, removeWhiteSpace); } } and use the interface in the controller instead of the controller extension

  • Tried your suggestion ... I'm now calling RenderPartialView() through an interface as above, Autofac injected to the controller. Calling the method through the MVC pipeline / webapp is fine, but nUnit causes the same null error. Not sure what you mean 'hide' the method since the method is an extension method to the controller class and is already and has to be static. The ActionResult for Create(VM vm) is `return Json(new { Content = viewRender.RenderPartialView(this, "ListItems/SimpleSyllabi", new[] { nS }) });`
