Fluent.Client.AwesomeAssertions 1.2.0

Fluent.Client.AwesomeAssertions

Created in Poland by Leszek Pomianowski and open-source community.
Assertion extensions for HttpResponseMessage and Task<HttpResponseMessage> built on top of AwesomeAssertions.

Getting started

dotnet add package Fluent.Client.AwesomeAssertions

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Fluent.Client.AwesomeAssertions

Fluent.Client is optional. This library works with standard HttpClient.PostAsync(), GetAsync(), etc.

dotnet add package Fluent.Client

using Fluent.Client;
using Fluent.Client.AwesomeAssertions;

[Fact]
public async Task CreateUser_ReturnsSuccess()
{
    await client
        .Post("/api/users", new { Name = "John" })
        .Should()
        .Succeed("because valid user data was provided");
}

Asserting responses

Assert 2xx:

await client
    .Post("/api/users", new { Name = "John" })
    .Should()
    .Succeed("because the server returned 200 OK");

Assert specific status code:

await client
    .Delete("/api/users/123")
    .Should()
    .HaveStatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent, "because delete should return 204");

Assert failure (any non-2xx):

await client
    .Post("/api/basket", new { CartItem = "esp32-dev-board" })
    .Should()
    .Fail("because the server returned 400 Bad Request");

Assert on the response body:

await client
    .Authorize(token: "abc123")
    .Get("/api/users/1", new { includeDetails = true })
    .Should()
    .Satisfy<User>(user =>
    {
        user.Name.Should().Be("John");
        user.Id.Should().Be(1);
    }, "because the server returned the expected JSON body");

Authorization

// Bearer token
await client
    .Authorize(token: "abc123")
    .Post("/v1/api/basket")
    .Should()
    .Succeed();

// Basic authentication
await client
    .Authorize(username: "john", password: "potato")
    .Get("/v1/api/basket", new { page = 1, limit = 2, sortBy = "dateAsc" })
    .Should()
    .HaveStatusCode(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, "because the credentials are invalid");

Integration testing

[Collection("Integration Tests")]
public sealed class OrderWorkflowTests(AspireAppHostFixture app)
{
    [Fact]
    public async Task Order_WhenCreatedAndProcessed_CompletesSuccessfully()
    {
        Guid orderId = Guid.NewGuid();

        await app.Client
            .Authorize(token: "jwt-token")
            .Put($"v1/orders/{orderId}", new { ProductId = "SKU-001", Quantity = 2 })
            .Should()
            .Succeed("because order creation should be accepted");

        await app.Client
            .Authorize(token: "jwt-token")
            .Get($"v1/orders/{orderId}")
            .Should()
            .Satisfy<OrderResponse>(order =>
            {
                order.Status.Should().Be("Pending");
                order.Id.Should().Be(orderId);
            });

        await app.Client
            .Authorize(token: "jwt-token")
            .Put($"v1/orders/{orderId}/confirm")
            .Should()
            .Succeed("because order confirmation should succeed");

        await app.Client
            .Authorize(token: "jwt-token")
            .Put($"v1/orders/{orderId}/complete", new { Note = "Delivered" })
            .Should()
            .Succeed("because order completion should succeed");
    }
}

new JsonSerializerOptions
{
    PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true,
    AllowTrailingCommas = true,
