XUnit HttpStatusCode does not contain a definition for Should

Question

I am writing XUnit test case. I am getting following error

Error CS1061 'HttpStatusCode' does not contain a definition for 'Should' and no accessible extension method 'Should' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpStatusCode' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What does the error say and how to solve it. Please any one try to help me.

Thank you..

Answer 1

For Should, there is no built-in Should to achieve the similiar function Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, defaultPage.StatusCode);.

You could try shouldly to simplify the Assert.Equal.

• Install-Package Shouldly
• Referer by using Shouldly;

• Useage

      public async Task Test()
  {
      var server = new TestServer(WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder()
          .UseStartup<TestStartup>()
          );
      var response = await server.CreateClient().GetAsync(@"/test");
      response.StatusCode.ShouldBe(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK);
  
      var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  
  }
