How to test the patch odata webapi method with Delta which has some collection properties












0















I need to test the following Patch method in my test project.



    public async Task<IHttpActionResult> PatchMarkAsReadAlertResults([FromODataUri] Guid key, Delta<MarkAsReadAlertResult> result)
{
await AlertResultsHelper.UpdateAlertResultStatus(key, result.GetEntity(), alertResultsActionsServiceProvider, KeyEvent);
return Updated(result);
}


I have written my test cases like this



    [TestMethod]
public async Task AlertProfileMarkAsReadAlertResultsTest()
{
#region Arrange
Guid key = Guid.Parse("e6f940d5-2ffb-4ff3-b7c1-04aa2514a37e");

var alerts = new MarkAsReadAlertResult();

var results = new Delta<MarkAsReadAlertResult>();

alerts.ResultIds = new List<string>();


alerts.ResultIds.Add("906433381");

results.TrySetPropertyValue("ResultIds", alerts);

IHttpActionResult result = null;
#endregion

#region Act
result = await this.alertProfilesController.PatchMarkAsReadAlertResults(key, results);
#endregion

#region Assert
Assert.IsNotNull(result);
#endregion
}


Am getting Object reference error here



results.TrySetPropertyValue("ResultIds", alerts);



Not sure why am getting it up here am i missing something?



I have verified this Testing the Patch odata webapi method but that is not for list of string.
