How to unit test an Azure Function now that Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc is deprecated?

Question

Working through Exercise - Unit test an Azure Function and on step 8, when I search Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc on NuGet it tells me that it's deprecated.

I tried this on both .NET 6 and 8.

Is there a new process for setting up mock HTTP environments for unit testing here?

Answer 1

Aspnet core and it’s components are no longer a separate package. They are part of net 6 and net 8. See docs
