Unit Tests

1. CsvImportServiceTests (18 tests)

Purpose

Tests the CSV file processing service in isolation, verifying file discovery, parsing, validation, and error handling.

Test Setup

public class CsvImportServiceTests : IDisposable
{
    private readonly Mock<ILogger<CsvImportService>> _mockLogger;
    private readonly Mock<IConfiguration> _mockConfiguration;
    private readonly string _testDataPath;

    public CsvImportServiceTests()
    {
        _mockLogger = new Mock<ILogger<CsvImportService>>();
        _mockConfiguration = new Mock<IConfiguration>();

        // Create temporary test directory
        _testDataPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(),
                                     "trade-test-data",
                                     Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
        Directory.CreateDirectory(_testDataPath);

        // Set environment variable for test
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH", _testDataPath);
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        // Clean up test directory after each test
        if (Directory.Exists(_testDataPath))
        {
            Directory.Delete(_testDataPath, true);
        }
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH", null);
    }
}

Key Tests Explained

Test 1: Constructor Validation

[Fact]
public void Constructor_Should_Throw_When_TradeDataPath_NotSet()
{
    // Arrange
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH", null);

    // Act & Assert
    var exception = Assert.Throws<InvalidOperationException>(() =>
        new CsvImportService(_mockLogger.Object, _mockConfiguration.Object));

    exception.Message.Should().Contain("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH");
}

What it tests: Service fails fast when required environment variable is missing Why it matters: Prevents runtime errors in production

Test 2: CSV File Discovery

[Fact]
public void GetCsvFilesForImport_Should_Return_CsvFiles_When_Folder_Exists()
{
    // Arrange
    var service = new CsvImportService(_mockLogger.Object, _mockConfiguration.Object);
    var testFolder = Path.Combine(_testDataPath, "year", "2022", "US", "imports");
    Directory.CreateDirectory(testFolder);

    // Create test CSV files
    File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(testFolder, "trade.csv"), "header\ndata");
    File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(testFolder, "trade_employment.csv"), "header\ndata");
    File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(testFolder, "runnote.md"), "notes"); // Should be ignored

    // Act
    var files = service.GetCsvFilesForImport(2022, "US", "imports");

    // Assert
    files.Should().HaveCount(2);
    files.Should().Contain(f => f.EndsWith("trade.csv"));
    files.Should().Contain(f => f.EndsWith("trade_employment.csv"));
    files.Should().NotContain(f => f.EndsWith("runnote.md"));
}

What it tests: File discovery correctly finds CSV files and ignores non-CSV files Why it matters: Ensures only valid CSV files are processed

Test 3: CSV Parsing

[Fact]
public async Task ReadCsvFileAsync_Should_Parse_Valid_CsvFile()
{
    // Arrange
    var service = new CsvImportService(_mockLogger.Object, _mockConfiguration.Object);
    var csvFile = Path.Combine(_testDataPath, "test.csv");

    var csvContent = @"Region1,Region2,Industry1,Industry2,Amount
US,CN,Agriculture,Manufacturing,1000.50
US,MX,Mining,Transportation,2000.75";

    File.WriteAllText(csvFile, csvContent);

    // Act
    var records = await service.ReadCsvFileAsync(csvFile);

    // Assert
    records.Should().HaveCount(2);
    records[0].Region1.Should().Be("US");
    records[0].Region2.Should().Be("CN");
    records[0].Industry1.Should().Be("Agriculture");
    records[0].Industry2.Should().Be("Manufacturing");
    records[0].Amount.Should().Be(1000.50m);

    records[1].Region1.Should().Be("US");
    records[1].Region2.Should().Be("MX");
    records[1].Amount.Should().Be(2000.75m);
}

What it tests: CsvHelper correctly parses CSV data into strongly-typed objects Why it matters: Validates data integrity during import

Test 4: Table Name Mapping

[Theory]
[InlineData("trade.csv", "public.trade")]
[InlineData("trade_employment.csv", "public.trade_employment")]
[InlineData("trade_factor.csv", "public.trade_factor")]
[InlineData("bea_table1.csv", "public.bea_table1")]
public void GetTableNameFromFileName_Should_Map_Correctly(string fileName, string expectedTable)
{
    // Arrange
    var service = new CsvImportService(_mockLogger.Object, _mockConfiguration.Object);

    // Act
    var tableName = service.GetTableNameFromFileName(fileName);

    // Assert
    tableName.Should().Be(expectedTable);
}

What it tests: CSV filenames are correctly mapped to database table names Why it matters: Ensures data goes to the correct table

All CsvImportService Tests

  1. Constructor_Should_Throw_When_TradeDataPath_NotSet
  2. Constructor_Should_Throw_When_TradeDataPath_DoesNotExist
  3. GetCsvFilesForImport_Should_Return_Empty_When_Folder_DoesNotExist

2. TradeImportControllerTests (12 tests)

Purpose

Tests the REST API controller in isolation using mocked dependencies, verifying request validation, response types, and business logic orchestration.

Test Setup with Mocking

public class TradeImportControllerTests
{
    private readonly Mock<ICsvImportService> _mockCsvService;
    private readonly Mock<ITradeDataRepository> _mockRepository;
    private readonly Mock<ILogger<TradeImportController>> _mockLogger;
    private readonly TradeImportController _controller;

    public TradeImportControllerTests()
    {
        // Create mocks for dependencies
        _mockCsvService = new Mock<ICsvImportService>();
        _mockRepository = new Mock<ITradeDataRepository>();
        _mockLogger = new Mock<ILogger<TradeImportController>>();

        // Inject mocks into controller
        _controller = new TradeImportController(
            _mockCsvService.Object,
            _mockRepository.Object,
            _mockLogger.Object);
    }
}

Key Tests Explained

Test 1: Request Validation

[Fact]
public async Task CreateDatabase_Should_Return_BadRequest_When_Year_Is_Invalid()
{
    // Arrange
    var request = new DatabaseCreationRequest
    {
        Year = 2050, // Invalid year (future year)
        Countries = null,
        ClearExistingData = false
    };

    // Act
    var result = await _controller.CreateDatabase(request);

    // Assert
    result.Should().BeOfType<BadRequestObjectResult>();
    var badRequestResult = result as BadRequestObjectResult;
    badRequestResult?.Value.Should().NotBeNull();
}

What it tests: Controller validates year is within acceptable range Why it matters: Prevents invalid data from being processed

Test 2: Parameterized Testing

[Theory]
[InlineData(2018)]  // Before available data
[InlineData(2031)]  // Future year
[InlineData(1990)]  // Way too old
public async Task CreateDatabase_Should_Return_BadRequest_For_Year_OutOfRange(short year)
{
    // Arrange
    var request = new DatabaseCreationRequest { Year = year };

    // Act
    var result = await _controller.CreateDatabase(request);

    // Assert
    result.Should().BeOfType<BadRequestObjectResult>();
}

What it tests: Multiple invalid years are all rejected Why it matters: Comprehensive validation coverage

Test 3: Successful Request

[Fact]
public async Task CreateDatabase_Should_Return_Ok_When_Request_Is_Valid()
{
    // Arrange
    var request = new DatabaseCreationRequest
    {
        Year = 2022,
        Countries = new[] { "US", "IN" },
        ClearExistingData = false
    };

    // Act
    var result = await _controller.CreateDatabase(request);

    // Assert
    result.Should().BeOfType<OkObjectResult>();
    var okResult = result as OkObjectResult;
    okResult?.Value.Should().NotBeNull();

    // Verify response contains expected properties
    var response = okResult?.Value;
    response.Should().NotBeNull();

    var jobIdProperty = response?.GetType().GetProperty("jobId");
    jobIdProperty.Should().NotBeNull();

    var yearProperty = response?.GetType().GetProperty("year");
    yearProperty.Should().NotBeNull();
}

What it tests: Valid requests return OK status with job ID Why it matters: Confirms happy path works correctly

Test 4: Statistics Endpoint with Mocking

[Fact]
public async Task GetStatistics_Should_Return_Ok_With_Statistics()
{
    // Arrange
    var year = (short)2022;

    // Setup mock repository to return test data
    _mockRepository.Setup(x => x.GetImportStatisticsAsync(year))
        .ReturnsAsync(new List<ImportStatistics>
        {
            new ImportStatistics
            {
                region1 = "US",
                tradeflow_type = "imports",
                trade_count = 5000,
                total_amount = 1000000m
            }
        });

    _mockRepository.Setup(x => x.GetTableCountsAsync(year))
        .ReturnsAsync(new List<TableCount>
        {
            new TableCount { table_name = "trade", row_count = 5000 }
        });

    _mockRepository.Setup(x => x.GetDistinctCountriesAsync(year))
        .ReturnsAsync(new List<CountryInfo>
        {
            new CountryInfo { country_code = "US", tradeflow_count = 3 }
        });

    // Act
    var result = await _controller.GetStatistics(year);

    // Assert
    result.Should().BeOfType<OkObjectResult>();

    // Verify repository methods were called
    _mockRepository.Verify(x => x.GetImportStatisticsAsync(year), Times.Once);
    _mockRepository.Verify(x => x.GetTableCountsAsync(year), Times.Once);
    _mockRepository.Verify(x => x.GetDistinctCountriesAsync(year), Times.Once);
}

What it tests: Controller correctly orchestrates multiple repository calls Why it matters: Verifies business logic coordination

public class CsvImportIntegrationTests : IDisposable
{
    private readonly Mock<ILogger<CsvImportService>> _mockLogger;
    private readonly Mock<IConfiguration> _mockConfiguration;
    private readonly string _testDataPath;
    private readonly CsvImportService _service;

    public CsvImportIntegrationTests()
    {
        _mockLogger = new Mock<ILogger<CsvImportService>>();
        _mockConfiguration = new Mock<IConfiguration>();

        // Create realistic test directory structure
        _testDataPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(),
                                     "trade-integration-test",
                                     Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
        Directory.CreateDirectory(_testDataPath);
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH", _testDataPath);

        _service = new CsvImportService(_mockLogger.Object, _mockConfiguration.Object);
    }
}

Key Integration Tests Explained

Test 1: End-to-End Import Flow

[Fact]
public async Task End_To_End_Import_Flow_Should_Work()
{
    // Arrange - Create realistic directory structure
    var yearFolder = Path.Combine(_testDataPath, "year", "2022", "US", "imports");
    Directory.CreateDirectory(yearFolder);

    // Create sample CSV with realistic data

    files.Should().HaveCount(1);

    var records = await _service.ReadCsvFileAsync(files[0]);
    records.Should().HaveCount(2);

    var tableName = _service.GetTableNameFromFileName(Path.GetFileName(files[0]));
    tableName.Should().Be("public.trade");

    // Assert - Verify data integrity
    records[0].Region1.Should().Be("US");
    records[0].Region2.Should().Be("CN");
    records[0].Amount.Should().Be(1234.56m);

    records[1].Region1.Should().Be("US");
    records[1].Region2.Should().Be("MX");

{
    // Arrange - Create structure for multiple countries and flows
    var countries = new[] { "US", "IN", "CN" };
    var tradeflows = new[] { "imports", "exports", "domestic" };

    foreach (var country in countries)
    {
        foreach (var flow in tradeflows)
        {
            var folder = Path.Combine(_testDataPath, "year", "2022", country, flow);
            Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
            File.WriteAllText(
                Path.Combine(folder, "trade.csv"),
                "Region1,Region2,Industry1,Industry2,Amount\nUS,CN,A,B,100"
            );
        }
    }

    // Act - Discover files for all combinations
    var totalFiles = 0;
    foreach (var country in countries)

            // Act - Execute the method
            var result = _service.MethodUnderTest(input);

            // Assert - Verify the outcome
            result.Should().NotBeNull();
            result.Should().Be("expected value");

            // Verify interactions
            _mockDependency.Verify(x => x.Method(input), Times.Once);
        }
    }
}

Best Practices

  1. Naming Convention: MethodName_Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_Condition
  2. AAA Pattern: Always use Arrange, Act, Assert
  3. One Assertion Per Test: Test one thing at a time
  4. Use FluentAssertions: result.Should().Be(expected) instead of Assert.Equal()
  5. Mock External Dependencies: Never hit real database or file system in unit tests
  6. Clean Up: Implement IDisposable if creating temp files/directories
  7. Use Theory for Parameterized Tests: Test multiple inputs with one test method

Common Patterns

Testing Async Methods

[Fact]
public async Task Async_Method_Should_Work()
{
    // Arrange
    var service = new MyService();

    // Act
    var result = await service.AsyncMethod();

    // Assert
    result.Should().NotBeNull();
}

Testing Exceptions

[Fact]
public void Method_Should_Throw_When_Invalid()
{
    // Arrange
    var service = new MyService();

    // Act & Assert
    var exception = Assert.Throws<InvalidOperationException>(() =>
        service.MethodThatThrows()
    );

    exception.Message.Should().Contain("expected error message");
}

Parameterized Tests

[Theory]
[InlineData(2019, true)]
[InlineData(2022, true)]
[InlineData(2018, false)]
[InlineData(2030, false)]
public void Year_Validation_Should_Work(short year, bool isValid)
{
    // Arrange
    var validator = new YearValidator();

    // Act
    var result = validator.IsValid(year);

    // Assert
    result.Should().Be(isValid);
}

Troubleshooting Tests

Common Issues

Issue 1: Tests fail with "TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH not set"

Solution: Ensure test setup creates temp directory and sets environment variable:

Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TRADE_DATA_REPO_PATH", _testDataPath);

Issue 2: File system tests interfere with each other

Solution: Use unique GUIDs for each test's temp directory:

_testDataPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(),
                            "trade-test",
                            Guid.NewGuid().ToString());

Issue 3: Mock setup not working

Solution: Verify you're mocking the interface, not the concrete class:

// ❌ Wrong
var mock = new Mock<CsvImportService>();

// ✅ Correct
var mock = new Mock<ICsvImportService>();

Continuous Integration

Running Tests in CI/CD

# Example GitHub Actions workflow
name: Run Tests

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup .NET
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
        with:
          dotnet-version: 8.0.x
      - name: Restore dependencies
        run: dotnet restore
      - name: Build
        run: dotnet build --no-restore
      - name: Run tests
        run: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal
