Unit Testing Actors

Define Actor under test

[StatePersistence(StatePersistence.Persisted)]
public class MyStatefulActor : Actor, IMyStatefulActor
{

    public MyStatefulActor(ActorService actorSerice, ActorId actorId)
        : base(actorSerice, actorId)
    {
    }

    public async Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)
    {
        await StateManager.AddStateAsync(stateName, value);
    }
}

[DataContract]
public class Payload
{
    [DataMember]
    public readonly string Content;

    public Payload(string content)
    {
        Content = content;
    }
}

Create an instance using an ActorService with the MockActorStateManager and MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default

private const string StatePayload = "some value";

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestActorState()
{
    var actorGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
    var id = new ActorId(actorGuid);

    var actor = CreateActor(id);
    var stateManager = (MockActorStateManager)actor.StateManager;


    const string stateName = "test";
    var payload = new Payload(StatePayload);

    //create state
    await actor.InsertAsync(stateName, payload);

    //get state
    var actual = await stateManager.GetStateAsync<Payload>(stateName);
    Assert.AreEqual(StatePayload, actual.Content);

}

internal static MyStatefulActor CreateActor(ActorId id)
{
    Func<ActorService, ActorId, ActorBase> actorFactory = (service, actorId) => new MyStatefulActor(service, id);
    var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<MyStatefulActor>(actorFactory);
    var actor = svc.Activate(id);
    return actor;
}

Unit Testing Stateful Services

Define Stateful Service under test

public class MyStatefulService : StatefulService, IMyStatefulService
{
    public const string StateManagerDictionaryKey = "dictionaryname";
    public const string StateManagerQueueKey = "queuename";
    public const string StateManagerConcurrentQueueKey = "concurrentqueuename";


    public MyStatefulService(StatefulServiceContext serviceContext) : base(serviceContext)
    {
    }

    public MyStatefulService(StatefulServiceContext serviceContext, IReliableStateManagerReplica reliableStateManagerReplica)
        : base(serviceContext, reliableStateManagerReplica)
    {
    }

    public async Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)
    {
        var dictionary = await StateManager.GetOrAddAsync<IReliableDictionary<string, Payload>>(StateManagerDictionaryKey);

        using (var tx = StateManager.CreateTransaction())
        {
            await dictionary.TryAddAsync(tx, stateName, value);
            await tx.CommitAsync();
        }
    }


    public async Task EnqueueAsync(Payload value)
    {
        var queue = await StateManager.GetOrAddAsync<IReliableQueue<Payload>>(StateManagerQueueKey);

        using (var tx = StateManager.CreateTransaction())
        {
            await queue.EnqueueAsync(tx, value);
            await tx.CommitAsync();
        }
    }

    public async Task ConcurrentEnqueueAsync(Payload value)
    {
        var concurrentQueue = await StateManager.GetOrAddAsync<IReliableConcurrentQueue<Payload>>(StateManagerConcurrentQueueKey);

        using (var tx = StateManager.CreateTransaction())
        {
            await concurrentQueue.EnqueueAsync(tx, value);
            await tx.CommitAsync();
        }
    }
}

Create an instance using with the MockReliableStateManager and MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default

Test ReliableDictionary:

 [TestMethod]
public async Task TestServiceState_Dictionary()
{
    var context = MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default;
    var stateManager = new MockReliableStateManager();
    var service = new MyStatefulService(context, stateManager);

    const string stateName = "test";
    var payload = new Payload(StatePayload);

    //create state
    await service.InsertAsync(stateName, payload);

    //get state
    var dictionary = await stateManager.TryGetAsync<IReliableDictionary<string, Payload>>(MyStatefulService.StateManagerDictionaryKey);
    var actual = (await dictionary.Value.TryGetValueAsync(null, stateName)).Value;
    Assert.AreEqual(StatePayload, actual.Content);
}

Test ReliableQueue:

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestServiceState_Queue()
{
    var context = MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default;
    var stateManager = new MockReliableStateManager();
    var service = new MyStatefulService(context, stateManager);

    var payload = new Payload(StatePayload);

    //create state
    await service.EnqueueAsync(payload);

    //get state
    var queue = await stateManager.TryGetAsync<IReliableQueue<Payload>>(MyStatefulService.StateManagerQueueKey);
    var actual = (await queue.Value.TryPeekAsync(null)).Value;
    Assert.AreEqual(StatePayload, actual.Content);
}

Test ReliableConcurrentQueue

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestServiceState_ConcurrentQueue()
{
    var context = MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default;
    var stateManager = new MockReliableStateManager();
    var service = new MyStatefulService(context, stateManager);

    var payload = new Payload(StatePayload);

    //create state
    await service.ConcurrentEnqueueAsync(payload);

    //get state
    var queue = await stateManager.TryGetAsync<IReliableConcurrentQueue<Payload>>(MyStatefulService.StateManagerConcurrentQueueKey);
    var actual = (await queue.Value.DequeueAsync(null));
    Assert.AreEqual(StatePayload, actual.Content);
}

Communication between Actors and Services

Works by injecting IServiceProxyFactory and/or IActorProxyFactory Mocks into Actors and Services. The factories will create Mock Proxies.

Mocking out called Actors

Create Service Under Test

public class ActorCallerService : StatelessService
{
    public static readonly Guid CalledActorId = Guid.Parse("{1F263E8C-78D4-4D91-AAE6-C4B9CE03D6EB}");

    public IActorProxyFactory ProxyFactory { get; }

    public ActorCallerService(StatelessServiceContext serviceContext, IActorProxyFactory proxyFactory = null) 
        : base(serviceContext)
    {
        ProxyFactory = proxyFactory ?? new ActorProxyFactory();
    }

    public async Task CallActorAsync()
    {
        var proxy = ProxyFactory.CreateActorProxy<IMyStatefulActor>(new ActorId(CalledActorId));
        var value = new Payload("some other value");
        await proxy.InsertAsync("test", value);
    }
}

Create Service Test

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestActorProxyFactory()
{
    //mock out the called actor
    var id = new ActorId(ActorCallerService.CalledActorId);
    Func<ActorService, ActorId, ActorBase> actorFactory = (service, actorId) => new MockTestStatefulActor(service, id);
    var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<MockTestStatefulActor>(actorFactory);
    var actor = svc.Activate(id);

    //prepare the service:
    var mockProxyFactory = new MockActorProxyFactory();
    mockProxyFactory.RegisterActor(actor);
    var serviceInstance = new ActorCallerService(MockStatelessServiceContextFactory.Default, mockProxyFactory);

    //act:
    await serviceInstance.CallActorAsync();

    //assert:
    Assert.IsTrue(actor.InsertAsyncCalled);
}


private class MockTestStatefulActor : Actor, IMyStatefulActor
{
    public bool InsertAsyncCalled { get; private set; }

    public MockTestStatefulActor(ActorService actorService, ActorId actorId) : base(actorService, actorId)
    {
    }

    public Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)
    {
        InsertAsyncCalled = true;
        return Task.FromResult(true);
    }
}

Mocking out called Services

Create Actor Under Test

public class ServiceCallerActor : Actor, IMyStatefulActor
{
    public static readonly Uri CalledServiceName = new Uri("fabric:/MockApp/MockStatefulService");

    public IServiceProxyFactory ServiceProxyFactory { get; }

    public ServiceCallerActor(ActorService actorService, ActorId actorId, IServiceProxyFactory serviceProxyFactory) 
    : base(actorService, actorId)
    {
        ServiceProxyFactory = serviceProxyFactory ?? new ServiceProxyFactory();
    }

    public Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)

        return serviceProxy.InsertAsync(stateName, value);
    }
}

Create Actor Test

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestServiceProxyFactory()
{
    //mock out the called service
    var mockProxyFactory = new MockServiceProxyFactory();
    var mockService = new MockTestStatefulService();
    mockProxyFactory.RegisterService(ServiceCallerActor.CalledServiceName, mockService);

    //prepare the actor:
    Func<ActorService, ActorId, ActorBase> actorFactory = (service, actorId) => new ServiceCallerActor(service, actorId, mockProxyFactory);
    var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<ServiceCallerActor>(actorFactory);

    public bool InsertAsyncCalled { get; private set; }

    public Task ConcurrentEnqueueAsync(Payload value)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Task EnqueueAsync(Payload value)
    {

    }

    public Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)
    {
        InsertAsyncCalled = true;
        return Task.FromResult(true);
    }
}

Mocking out called Actors

Create Actor Dynamically Within Another Actor Test

An actor is created from the ActorCallerActor and we need to test that it is there and that its state was set.

public class ActorCallerActor : Actor, IMyStatefulActor
{
    public static readonly Uri CalledServiceName = new Uri("fabric:/MockApp/MyStatefulActor");
    public const string ChildActorIdKeyName = "ChildActorIdKeyName";

    public IActorProxyFactory ActorProxyFactory { get; }

    public ActorCallerActor(ActorService actorService, ActorId actorId, IActorProxyFactory actorProxyFactory) 
    : base(actorService, actorId)
    {
        ActorProxyFactory = actorProxyFactory ?? new ActorProxyFactory();
    }

    public Task InsertAsync(string stateName, Payload value)
    {
        var actorProxy = ActorProxyFactory.CreateActorProxy<IMyStatefulActor>(CalledServiceName, new ActorId(Guid.NewGuid()));

        this.StateManager.SetStateAsync(ChildActorIdKeyName, actorProxy.GetActorId());

        return actorProxy.InsertAsync(stateName, value);

    }
}

Create Actor Test

Here a callback is used when the actor is requested and not found that will allow you to create it with the identifier defined in the original actor. So you can test it.

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestServiceProxyFactory()
{

Test Actor Reminders and timers

Actor under test:

public class ReminderTimerActor : Actor, IRemindable, IReminderTimerActor
{
    public ReminderTimerActor(ActorService actorService, ActorId actorId) : base(actorService, actorId)
    {
    }

    public Task RegisterReminderAsync(string reminderName)
    {
        return RegisterReminderAsync(reminderName, null, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(-1));
    }

    public Task ReceiveReminderAsync(string reminderName, byte[] context, TimeSpan dueTime, TimeSpan period)
    {
        //will not be called automatically.
        return Task.FromResult(true);
    }


    public Task RegisterTimerAsync()
    {
        RegisterTimer(TimerCallbackAsync, null, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(-1));
        return Task.FromResult(true);
    }
        
    private Task TimerCallbackAsync(object state)
    {
        //will not be called automatically.
        return Task.FromResult(true);
    }
}

Test code:

[TestMethod]
public async Task TestActorReminderRegistration()
{
    var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<ReminderTimerActor>();
    var actor = svc.Activate(new ActorId(Guid.NewGuid()));
    string reminderName = "reminder";
            
    //setup
    await actor.RegisterReminderAsync(reminderName);
           
    //assert
    var reminderCollection = actor.GetActorReminders(); //extension method
    bool hasReminder = reminderCollection.Any();
    Assert.IsTrue(hasReminder);
}


[TestMethod]
public async Task TestActorTimerRegistration()
{
    var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<ReminderTimerActor>();
    var actor = svc.Activate(new ActorId(Guid.NewGuid()));

    //setup
    await actor.RegisterTimerAsync();

    //assert
    var timers = actor.GetActorTimers(); //extension method
    bool hasTimer = timers.Any();
    Assert.IsTrue(hasTimer);
}

Using your custom ActorService implementations

You can use a custom ActorService implementations to create your Actor instances.

Custom ActorService

public class CustomActorService : ActorService
{
    //no additional constructor parameters
    public CustomActorService(StatefulServiceContext context, ActorTypeInformation actorTypeInfo, Func<ActorService, ActorId, 
        ActorBase> actorFactory = null, Func<ActorBase, IActorStateProvider, IActorStateManager> stateManagerFactory = null, 
        IActorStateProvider stateProvider = null, ActorServiceSettings settings = null) : base(context, actorTypeInfo, 
        actorFactory, stateManagerFactory, stateProvider, settings)
    {
    }
}

Test code

//an ActorService with a standard constructor can be created by the MockActorServiceFactory
var customActorService = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateCustomActorServiceForActor<CustomActorService, OnActivateActor>();
var actor = customActorService.Activate<OnActivateActor>(new ActorId(123L));

Assert.IsInstanceOfType(customActorService, typeof(CustomActorService));
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(actor, typeof(OnActivateActor));
Assert.AreEqual(123L, actor.Id.GetLongId());

ActorService with non standard constructor

In this situation you can't use the MockActorServiceFactory, so you'll need to create an instance directly.

//an ActorService with a NON standard constructor can be created by passing Mock arguments:

var stateManager = new MockActorStateManager();
Func<ActorBase, IActorStateProvider, IActorStateManager> stateManagerFactory = (actr, stateProvider) => stateManager;

IActorStateProvider actorStateProvider = new MockActorStateProvider();
actorStateProvider.Initialize(ActorTypeInformation.Get(typeof(OnActivateActor)));
var context = MockStatefulServiceContextFactory.Default;
var dummy = new object(); //this argument causes the 'non standard' ctor.
var customActorService = new AnotherCustomActorService(dummy, context, ActorTypeInformation.Get(typeof(OnActivateActor)));

var actor = customActorService.Activate<OnActivateActor>(new ActorId(123L));
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(actor, typeof(OnActivateActor));
Assert.AreEqual(123L, actor.Id.GetLongId());

Testing service configuration

To inject a configuration section into the MockCodePackageActivationContext, you can use this code:

[TestClass]
    public class ConfigurationPackageTests
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void ConfigurationPackageAtMockCodePackageActivationContextTest()
        {
            //build ConfigurationSectionCollection
            var configSections = new ConfigurationSectionCollection();

            //Build ConfigurationSettings
            var configSettings = CreateConfigurationSettings(configSections);

            //add one ConfigurationSection
            ConfigurationSection configSection = CreateConfigurationSection(nameof(configSection.Name));
            configSections.Add(configSection);

            //add one Parameters entry
            ConfigurationProperty parameter = CreateConfigurationSectionParameters(nameof(parameter.Name), nameof(parameter.Value));
            configSection.Parameters.Add(parameter);
            
            //Build ConfigurationPackage
            ConfigurationPackage configPackage = CreateConfigurationPackage(configSettings, nameof(configPackage.Path));
        
        [..]
        }
     }
}
