Pact .NET Core Workshop

When writing a lot of small services, testing the interactions between these becomes a major headache. That's the problem Pact is trying to solve.

Integration tests typically are slow and brittle, requiring each component to have its own environment to run the tests in. With a micro-service architecture, this becomes even more of a problem. They also have to be 'all-knowing' and this makes them difficult to keep from being fragile.

After J. B. Rainsberger's talk Integrated Tests Are A Scam people have been thinking how to get the confidence we need to deploy our software to production without having a tiresome integration test suite that does not give us all the coverage we think it does.

PactNet is a .NET implementation of Pact that allows you to define a pact between service consumers and providers. It provides a DSL for service consumers to define the request they will make to a service producer and the response they expect back. This expectation is used in the consumer's specs to provide a mock producer and is also played back in the producer specs to ensure the producer actually does provide the response that the consumer expects.

This allows you to test both sides of an integration point using fast unit tests.

Introduction

This workshop is aimed at demonstrating core features and benefits of contract testing with Pact.

Whilst contract testing can be applied retrospectively to systems, we will follow the consumer driven contracts approach in this workshop - where a new consumer and provider are created in parallel to evolve a service over time, especially where there is some uncertainty with what is to be built.

This workshop should take from 1 to 2 hours, depending on how deep you want to go into each topic. It's based on the Javascript version of the same workshop

Workshop outline:

Learning objectives

If running this as a team workshop format, you may want to take a look through the learning objectives.

Prerequisites

This workshop while written with .NET Core is not specifically about it so in-depth knowledge of .NET Core is not required if you can write code in any other language you should be fine.

However before taking part in this workshop please make sure you have:

Note: This workshop uses Pact-Net 5.x and .NET 8. For Pact-Net 4.x & .NET 6, see branch master-v4.5.0

Workshop Steps

Preamble: Clone repository and explore

Clone pact-workshop-dotnet-core-v3 and familiarise yourself with its contents. There are two components in scope for our workshop.

  1. Product client. A command line client that queries the Product service for product information.
  2. Product Service (Provider). Provides useful things about products, such as listing all products and getting the details of an individual product.

The two components can be found in their respective folders and each have a solution (.sln) file and project files for the app and test projects (.csproj)

Consumer

A consumer project in the Consumer/src folder which is a simple .NET Core console application that connects to the Provider project

Provider

A provider in the Provider/src folder and is an ASP.NET Core Web API. Both projects also have a tests/ folder which is where the Pact tests for both projects exist. (Consumer/tests / Consumer/tests)

Step 1: Simple consumer calling provider

We need to first create an HTTP client to make the calls to our provider service:

Simple Consumer

The Consumer has implemented the product service client which has the following:

The diagram below highlights the interaction for retrieving a product with ID 10:

Sequence Diagram

You can see the client interface we created in Consumer/src/ApiClient.cs:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Consumer
{
    public class ApiClient
    {
        private readonly Uri BaseUri;

        public ApiClient(Uri baseUri)
        {
            this.BaseUri = baseUri;
        }

        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetAllProducts()
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = BaseUri })
            {
                try
                {
                    var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/products");
                    return response;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new Exception("There was a problem connecting to Products API.", ex);
                }
            }
        }

        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetProduct(int id)
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = BaseUri })
            {
                try
                {
                    var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/product/{id}");
                    return response;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new Exception("There was a problem connecting to Products API.", ex);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

After forking or cloning the repository, we may want to install the dependencies:

  1. cd Consumer\src
  2. dotnet restore

We can run the client with dotnet run - it should fail with the error below, because the Provider is not running.

Failed step1 page

Step 2 - Integration problems...

our provider team has started building out their API in parallel. Let's run our website against our provider (you'll need two terminals to do this):

### Start the Provider

in Provider/src run dotnet run

❯dotnet run
Hosting environment: Development
Content root path: /Users/saf/dev/DIUS/pact-workshop-dotnet-core-v3/Provider/src
Now listening on: http://localhost:9001
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.

Run the Consumer

in Consumer/src run dotnet run

❯ dotnet run 
**Retrieving product list**
Response.Code=OK, Response.Body=[
  {
    "id": 9,
    "name": "GEM Visa",
    "type": "CREDIT_CARD",
    "version": "v2"
  },
  {
    "id": 10,
    "name": "28 Degrees",
    "type": "CREDIT_CARD",
    "version": "v1"
  }
]


**Retrieving product with id=10
Response.Code=NotFound, Response.Body=

So we're able to retrieve a list of products but not a specific product even though one exists with id=10. We're getting a 404 response every time we attempt to access an individual product.

We need to have a conversation about what the endpoint should be!

Step 3 - Pact to the rescue

Unit tests are written and executed in isolation of any other services. When we write tests for code that talk to other services, they are built on trust that the contracts are upheld. There is no way to validate that the consumer and provider can communicate correctly.

An integration contract test is a test at the boundary of an external service verifying that it meets the contract expected by a consuming service — Martin Fowler

Adding contract tests via Pact would have highlighted the /product/{id} endpoint was incorrect.

Let us add Pact to the project and write a consumer pact test for the GET /product/{id} endpoint.

Provider states is an important concept of Pact that we need to introduce. These states help define the state that the provider should be in for specific interactions. For the moment, we will initially be testing the following states:

The consumer can define the state of an interaction using the given property.

The file can be found at Consumer/tests/ApiTest.cs

Note how similar it looks to a unit test:

using System.IO;
using PactNet;
using Xunit.Abstractions;
using Xunit;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using Consumer;
using PactNet.Matchers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace tests
{
    public class ApiTest
    {
        private IPactBuilderV3 pact;
        private readonly ApiClient ApiClient;
        private readonly int port = 9000;
        private readonly List<object> products;

        public ApiTest(ITestOutputHelper output)
        {
            products = new List<object>()
            {
                new { id = 9, type = "CREDIT_CARD", name = "GEM Visa", version = "v2" },
                new { id = 10, type = "CREDIT_CARD", name = "28 Degrees", version = "v1" }
            };

            var Config = new PactConfig
            {
                PactDir = Path.Join("..", "..", "..", "..", "..", "pacts"),
                Outputters = new[] { new XUnitOutput(output) }
            };

            pact = Pact.V3("ApiClient", "ProductService", Config).WithHttpInteractions(port);
            ApiClient = new ApiClient(new System.Uri($"http://localhost:{port}"));
        }

        [Fact]
        public async Task GetAllProducts()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for all products")
                    .Given("products exist")
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/products")
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
                    .WithJsonBody(new TypeMatcher(products));

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetAllProducts();
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
            });
        }

        [Fact]
        public async Task GetProduct()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for a product")
                    .Given("product with ID 10 exists")
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/product/10")
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
                    .WithJsonBody(new TypeMatcher(products[1]));

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetProduct(10);
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
            });
        }
    }
}

Test using Pact

This test starts a mock server on a specificed port (9000 here) that acts as our provider service.

Running this test still passes, but it creates a pact file which we can use to validate our assumptions on the provider side, and have conversation around.

A pact file should have been generated in pacts/ApiClient-ProductService.json

NOTE: even if the API client had been graciously provided for us by our Provider Team, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't write contract tests - because the version of the client we have may not always be in sync with the deployed API - and also because we will write tests on the output appropriate to our specific needs.

Step 4 - Verify the provider

Now let's make a start on writing Pact tests to validate the consumer contract:

In provider/tests/ProductTest.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using PactNet.Infrastructure.Outputters;
using PactNet.Output.Xunit;
using PactNet.Verifier;
using Xunit;
using Xunit.Abstractions;

namespace tests
{
    public class ProductTest
    {
        private string _pactServiceUri = "http://127.0.0.1:9001";
        private readonly ITestOutputHelper _output;

        public ProductTest(ITestOutputHelper output)
        {
            _output = output;
        }

        [Fact]
        public void EnsureProviderApiHonoursPactWithConsumer()
        {
            // Arrange
            var config = new PactVerifierConfig
            {
                Outputters = new List<IOutput>
                {
                    new XunitOutput(_output)
                }
            };

            using (var _webHost = WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder().UseStartup<TestStartup>().UseUrls(_pactServiceUri).Build())
            {
                _webHost.Start();

                //Act / Assert
                IPactVerifier pactVerifier = new PactVerifier("ProductService", config);
                var pactFile = new FileInfo(Path.Join("..", "..", "..", "..", "..", "pacts", "ApiClient-ProductService.json"));
                pactVerifier.WithHttpEndpoint(new Uri(_pactServiceUri))
                .WithFileSource(pactFile)
                .WithProviderStateUrl(new Uri($"{_pactServiceUri}/provider-states"))
                .Verify();
            }
        }
    }
}

We now need to validate the pact generated by the consumer is valid, by executing it against the running service provider, which should fail:

Pact Verification

The test has failed, as the expected path /product/{id} is returning 404. We incorrectly believed our provider was following a RESTful design, but the authors were too lazy to implement a better routing solution 🤷.

The correct endpoint which the consumer should call is /products/{id}.

Step 5 - Back to the client we go

We now need to update the consumer client and tests to hit the correct product path.

First, we need to update the GET route for the client:

In Consumer/src/ApiClient.cs:

        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetProduct(int id)
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = BaseUri })
            {
                try
                {
                    // var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/products/{id}"); // STEP_4
                    var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/product/{id}"); // STEP_5
                    return response;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new Exception("There was a problem connecting to Products API.", ex);
                }
            }
        }

Then we need to update the Pact test ID 10 exists to use the correct endpoint in path.

In Consumer/tests/ApiTest.cs:

        [Fact]
        public async Task GetProduct()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for a product")
                    .Given("product with ID 10 exists")
                    // .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/product/10") // STEP_4
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/products/10") // STEP_5
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
                    .WithJsonBody(new TypeMatcher(products[1]));

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetProduct(10);
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
            });
        }

Pact Verification

Let's run and generate an updated pact file on the client:

Run this command under Consumer:

Yay - green ✅!

Step 6 - Consumer updates contract for missing products

We're now going to add 2 more scenarios for the contract

Let's write a test for these scenarios, and then generate an updated pact file.

In Consumer/tests/ApiTest.cs:

        [Fact]
        public async Task NoProductsExist()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for all products")
                    .Given("no products exist")
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/products")
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
                    .WithJsonBody(new TypeMatcher(new List<object>()));

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetAllProducts();
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
            });
        }

        [Fact]
        public async Task ProductDoesNotExist()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for a product")
                    .Given("product with ID 11 does not exist")
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/products/11")
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetProduct(11);
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, response.StatusCode);
            });
        }

Notice that our new tests look almost identical to our previous tests, and only differ on the expectations of the response - the HTTP request expectations are exactly the same.

We can solve this by making sure we handle the missing provider states, which also helps us understand how Provider states work more generally.

Step 7 - Adding the missing states

Our code already deals with missing products and sends a 404 response, however our test data fixture always has product ID 9 and 10 in our database.

In this step, we will add a state handler to our provider Pact verifications, which will update the state of our data store depending on which states the consumers require.

States are invoked prior to the actual test function is invoked. You can see the full lifecycle here.

We're going to add handlers for all our states:

Let's open up our provider Pact verifications in Provider/tests/Middleware/ProviderStateMiddleware.cs:

// update the dictionary defined in the constructor
            _providerStates = new Dictionary<string, Action>
            {
                { "products exist", ProductsExist },
                { "product with ID 10 exists", Product10Exists },
                { "product with ID 11 does not exist", Product11DoesNotExist }, // STEP_7
                { "no products exist", NoProductsExist }, // STEP_7
                // { "No auth token is provided", Product10Exists } // STEP_10
            };

Also implement handlers for the two new states:

private void NoProductsExist()
{
    _repository.SetState(new List<Product>());
}

private void Product11DoesNotExist()
{
    ProductsExist();
}

In NoProductsExist() we set the current state to an empty list. For Product11DoesNotExist() we can just use one of the existing states since product 11 does not exist.

Let's see how we go now:

Run this command under Provider:

NOTE: The states are not necessarily a 1 to 1 mapping with the consumer contract tests. You can reuse states amongst different tests. In this scenario we could have used no products exist for both tests which would have equally been valid.

Step 8 - Authorization

It turns out that not everyone should be able to use the API. After a discussion with the team, it was decided that a time-bound bearer token would suffice. The token must be in yyyy-MM-ddTHHmm format and within 1 hour of the current time.

In the case a valid bearer token is not provided, we expect a 401. Let's first update the consumer tests and add scenarios for expected the Authorization header. In Consumer/tests/ApiTest.cs:

        [Fact]
        public async Task GetAllProducts()
        {
            // Arrange
            pact.UponReceiving("A valid request for all products")
                    .Given("products exist")
                    .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Get, "/api/products")
                    .WithHeader("Authorization", Match.Regex("Bearer 2019-01-14T11:34:18.045Z", "Bearer \\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}\\.\\d{3}Z")) // STEP_8
                .WillRespond()
                    .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
                    .WithJsonBody(new TypeMatcher(products));

            await pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx => {
                var response = await ApiClient.GetAllProducts();
                Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
            });

We could implement the header as well but let's first briefly explain what's going on here. Instead of simply entering a header we use a matcher. A matcher can be used when we don't necessarily need to test exact values but e.g. just check the type, or the pattern. In the example above we use a Regex matcher. We provide an example value (which will end up in the pact file) as well as the pattern we want the value to match. This means that we can dynamically generate the value and still have a passing test.

Before we implement the change, let's see what happens if we run it without implementing. The output is very long so it's been abbreviated to show the only one the four test cases:

The standard logs, don't always give us enough information in case of failure, you can enable debug logging in Consumer/tests/ApiTest.cs:

            var Config = new PactConfig
            {
                PactDir = Path.Join("..", "..", "..", "..", "..", "pacts"),
                Outputters = new[] { new XUnitOutput(output) },
                LogLevel = PactLogLevel.Debug // STEP_8
            };

and run your test again, The key information can be found in the DEBUG output:

 2023-04-25T21:44:17.273570Z DEBUG tokio-runtime-worker pact_matching: --> Mismatches: [HeaderMismatch { key: "Authorization", expected: "\"Bearer 2019-01-14T11:34:18.045Z\"", actual: "", mismatch: "Expected header 'Authorization' but was missing" }]

Let's update the consumer to pass the bearer token, which was missing

In consumer/src/ApiClient.cs:

        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetAllProducts()
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = BaseUri })
            {
                try
                {
                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", AuthorizationHeaderValue()); // STEP_8
                    var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/products");
                    return response;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new Exception("There was a problem connecting to Products API.", ex);
                }
            }
        }

        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetProduct(int id)
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = BaseUri })
            {
                try
                {
                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", AuthorizationHeaderValue()); // STEP_8
                    var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/products/{id}");
                    // var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/product/{id}"); // STEP_5
                    return response;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new Exception("There was a problem connecting to Products API.", ex);
                }
            }
        }

        // STEP_8
        private string AuthorizationHeaderValue()
{
            return $"Bearer {DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ")}";
        }

The changes in the pact file located at pacts/ApiClient-ProductService.json is now that we have some logic for header matching:

      "request": {
        "headers": {

Now with the most recently added interactions where we are expecting a response of 401 when no authorization header is sent, we are getting 200...

Step 9 - Implement authorization on the provider

We will add a middleware to check the Authorization header and deny the request with 401 if the token is older than 1 hour.

In the folder called Provider/src/Middleware, we are going to create a class called AuthorizationMiddleware.cs:

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

namespace provider.Middleware
{
    public class AuthorizationMiddleware
    {
        private const string AuthorizationHeaderKey = "Authorization";
        private readonly RequestDelegate _next;

        public AuthorizationMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
        {
            _next = next;
        }

        public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
        {
            if (context.Request.Headers.ContainsKey(AuthorizationHeaderKey))
            {
                DateTime tokenTime = DateTime.Parse(AuthorizationHeader(context.Request));

                if (IsOlderThanOneHour(tokenTime))
                {
                    UnauthorizedResponse(context);
                }
                else
                {
                    await this._next(context);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                UnauthorizedResponse(context);
            }
        }

        private string AuthorizationHeader(HttpRequest request)
        {
            request.Headers.TryGetValue(AuthorizationHeaderKey, out var authorizationHeader);
            var match = Regex.Match(authorizationHeader, "Bearer (.*)");
            return match.Groups[1].Value;
        }

        private bool IsOlderThanOneHour(DateTime tokenTime)
        {
            return tokenTime < DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1);
        }

        private void UnauthorizedResponse(HttpContext context)
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status401Unauthorized;
        }
    }
}

Add the middleware in Provider/src/Startup.cs, including the using statement:

using provider.Middleware; // STEP_9

...

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }
            app.UseMiddleware<AuthorizationMiddleware>(); // STEP_9
            app.UseRouting();
            app.UseEndpoints(e => e.MapControllers());
            
        }

This means that a client must present an HTTP Authorization header that looks as follows:

Authorization: Bearer 2006-01-02T15:04

Let's test this out:

Run this command under Provider:

dotnet test

Oh, dear. More tests are failing. Can you understand why? If you can't don't worry, we will find out in the next step!

Step 10 - Request Filters on the Provider

Because our pact file has static data in it, our bearer token is now out of date, so when Pact verification passes it to the Provider we get a 401. There are multiple ways to resolve this - mocking or stubbing out the authentication component is a common one. In our use case, we are going to use a process referred to as Request Filtering, using a RequestFilter.

NOTE: This is an advanced concept and should be used carefully, as it has the potential to invalidate a contract by bypassing its constraints. See https://github.com/DiUS/pact-jvm/blob/master/provider/junit/README.md#modifying-the-requests-before-they-are-sent for more details on this.

The approach we are going to take to inject the header is as follows:

  1. If we receive any Authorization header, we override the incoming request with a valid (in time) Authorization header, and continue with whatever call was being made
  2. If we don't receive an Authorization header, we do nothing

NOTE: We are not considering the 403 scenario in this example.

We'll implement this as a Middleware, similarly to have we deal with provider states.

In the folder Provider/tests/Middleware add a new file called AuthTokenRequestFilter.cs:

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives;

namespace tests.Middleware
{   
    // STEP_10
    public class AuthTokenRequestFilter
    {
        private const string AuthorizationHeaderKey = "Authorization";
        private readonly RequestDelegate _next;

        public AuthTokenRequestFilter(RequestDelegate next)
        {
            _next = next;
        }

        public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
        {
            if (context.Request.Headers.ContainsKey(AuthorizationHeaderKey))
            {
                context.Request.Headers.Remove(AuthorizationHeaderKey);
                context.Request.Headers.Add(AuthorizationHeaderKey, HeaderValue());
            }
            await this._next(context);
        }

        private StringValues HeaderValue()
        {
            return $"Bearer {DateTime.Now:yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ}";
        }
    }
}

Then wire the new middleware in Provider/tests/TestStartup.cs

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseMiddleware<ProviderStateMiddleware>();
    app.UseMiddleware<AuthTokenRequestFilter>(); // STEP_10
    _proxy.Configure(app, env);
}

And finally, add the corresponding state handler Provider/tests/Middleware/ProviderStateMiddleware.cs

We map it to a valid product, that we don't want an authenticated user to get access to, they wont be able to unless they present an valid authentication token

            _providerStates = new Dictionary<string, Action>
            {
                { "products exist", ProductsExist },
                { "product with ID 10 exists", Product10Exists },
                { "product with ID 11 does not exist", Product11DoesNotExist }, // STEP_7
                { "no products exist", NoProductsExist }, // STEP_7
                { "No auth token is provided", Product10Exists } // STEP_10
            };

We can now run the Provider tests

Run this command under Provider:

dotnet test
