In this post I will show how to convert UTC date to local Australian date by state. The result will be in the format of {localDateTime} – {timezone name} ({timezone abbreviation}) e.g “14/10/2018 20:30 – Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)” I added this method as an extension on DateTime
This post I will show how to create a testing context which can be used in unit tests to automatically construct the testing target. My solution is based on this article from https://dotnetcoretutorials.com. I’ve customised it a bit to allow mock Target and automatically inject all the mocks during setup. The customisation will give you a mock … [Read more…]

In this post, I will show how to mock the SendAsync method in DelegatingHandler so it can be unit tested as it allows you to mock the response and your test does not need to make a real Http request. The first problem … [Read more…]
Previously I showed how to log all HttpClient outgoing requests. I later added some logics for adding default headers in the SendAsync method in OutgoingHttpClient. I wanted to unit test this to make sure my logic is correct. I thought I could mock the HttpClient the normal way but since the SendAsync method in HttpClient is not virtual, I get … [Read more…]
In my previous post, I showed my implementation for logging outgoing HTTP requests. In this post, I’ll show my implementation for logging outgoing SOAP requests using custom endpoint behaviour. First I have an implemention of the IClientMessageInspector. IMessageLoggingInspector is mainly for DI. public interface IMessageLoggingInspector : IClientMessageInspector { } public class MessageLoggingInspector : IMessageLoggingInspector { // AfterReceiveReply is … [Read more…]
My current project has lots of outgoing requests to third parties including HTTP and SOAP requests. I was tasked to log all outgoing requests in their raw form.
