I am trying to validate that 1 collection is equivalent to another collection. The validation is failing with the following error...
Expected collection {
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S1"
StateName = "State 1"
},
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S2"
StateName = "State 2"
},
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S3"
StateName = "State 3"
}} to be equivalent to {
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S1"
StateName = "State 1"
},
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S2"
StateName = "State 2"
},
MyCoolApp.Business.Models.StateAbbreviation
{
StateAbbr = "S3"
StateName = "State 3"
}}.

My test method looks like this...
[Test] public void It_should_return_the_logon_page_on_a_new_request() { //Arrange var stateAbbreviations = new List<StateAbbreviation> { new StateAbbreviation { StateName = "State 1", StateAbbr = "S1" }, new StateAbbreviation { StateName = "State 2", StateAbbr = "S2" }, new StateAbbreviation { StateName = "State 3", StateAbbr = "S3" } }; Mock.Arrange(() => _DataContext.StateAbbreviations).Returns(stateAbbreviations.AsQueryable()); //Act var result = (ViewResult) _HomeController.LogOn(); var model = result.Model as LogonViewModel; //Assert Mock.AssertAll(_DataContext); result.ViewName.Should().BeBlank(); model.Should().NotBeNull(); model.StateAbbreviationDropDownList.Select(x => new StateAbbreviation { StateAbbr = x.Value, StateName = x.Text}).Should().BeEquivalentTo(stateAbbreviations); }
And the Controller action looks like this...
public ActionResult LogOn() { var viewModel = new LogonViewModel(); var stateAbbreviations = _DataContext.StateAbbreviations.ToList(); stateAbbreviations.ForEach(x => { var dropDownItem = new DropDownItem(); dropDownItem.Value = x.StateAbbr; dropDownItem.Text = x.StateName; viewModel.StateAbbreviationDropDownList.Add(dropDownItem); }); return View(viewModel); }
