Mastering ASP.NET Web API

The Put tests

In the Put tests, we execute a post request to have our resource created. Then use the same model, which is our green model, and change the name for the model. This is where we do this:

    storeModel.Name = "Creamy Cheese"; 

Now we are ready to call the put method using our HttpClient, thereafter asserting that our response is an okay:

    [TestMethod] 
    public async Task ReturnOkForAPut() 
    { 
      // arrange  
      using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient()) 
      { 
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(_baseUri); 
              //arrange 
        StoreModel storeModel = GreenStoreModel(); 
        storeModel.Id = Guid.NewGuid(); 
        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("stores",          storeModel); 
        storeModel.Name = "Creamy Cheese"; 
         // act string putUri = string.Format("stores/{0}", ...
