ActionMock class

2025-06-10

Namespace: Microsoft.Azure.Workflows.UnitTesting.Definitions

This class creates a mock instance for an action in a Standard logic app workflow. The *ActionMock class provides multiple ways to create mock actions for testing Standard workflows with static outputs, error conditions, or dynamic behavior based on execution context.

Usage

// Simple mock action with success status
var successAction = new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Succeeded, "SendEmail");

// A mock action with specific outputs
var outputAction = new ActionMock(
    TestWorkflowStatus.Succeeded, 
    "HttpRequest",
    new MockOutput { 
        StatusCode = 200,
        Headers = JToken.Parse(@"{""Content-Type"": ""application/json""}"),
        Body = JToken.Parse(@"{""result"": ""success"", ""id"": 12345}")
    });

// Failed action with error information
var failedAction = new ActionMock(
    TestWorkflowStatus.Failed,
    "DatabaseWrite",
    new TestErrorInfo(
        ErrorResponseCode.BadRequest,
        "Database connection failed"
    ));

// Dynamic action that changes behavior based on execution context
var dynamicAction = new ActionMock(
    (context) => {
        var inputs = context.ActionContext.ActionInputs;
        var amount = (int)inputs["amount"];
        
        if (amount > 1000) {
            return new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Failed, "PaymentProcessing", 
                new TestErrorInfo(ErrorResponseCode.BadRequest, "Amount exceeds limit"));
        }
        
        return new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Succeeded, "PaymentProcessing",
            new MockOutput { Body = JToken.Parse(@"{""transactionId"": ""ABC123""}") });
    },
    "DynamicPaymentAction");

Constructors

Constructor with static outputs

Creates a mock instance for ActionMock with static outputs.

public ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus status, string name = null, MockOutput outputs = null)

Name	Description	Type	Required
status	The mock action result status.	TestWorkflowStatus	Yes
name	The mock action name.	string	No
outputs	The mock static outputs.	MockOutput	No

// Example: Create a mock action with successful status and static outputs
var outputs = new MockOutput { 
    Body = JToken.Parse(@"{""result"": ""Operation completed""}"),
    StatusCode = 200
};
var actionMock = new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Succeeded, "ProcessData", outputs);

Constructor with error info

Creates a mock instance for ActionMock with static error info.

public ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus status, string name = null, TestErrorInfo error = null)

Name	Description	Type	Required
status	The mock action result status.	TestWorkflowStatus	Yes
name	The mock action name.	string	No
error	The mock action error info.	TestErrorInfo	No

// Example: Create an action mock with failed status and error information
var errorInfo = new TestErrorInfo(
    ErrorResponseCode.InternalServerError,
    "Service temporarily unavailable"
);
var actionMock = new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Failed, "ExternalAPICall", errorInfo);

Constructor with callback function

Creates a mock instance for ActionMock with a callback function for dynamic outputs.

public ActionMock(Func<TestExecutionContext, ActionMock> onGetActionMock, string name = null)

Name	Description	Type	Required
onGetActionMock	The callback function to get the mock action	Func<TestExecutionContext, ActionMock>	Yes
name	The mock action name	string	No

// Example: Create a mock action with dynamic outputs based on execution context
var actionMock = new ActionMock(
    (context) => {
        var actionName = context.ActionContext.ActionName;
        var inputs = context.ActionContext.ActionInputs;
          // Determine outputs dynamically based on context
        if (actionName == "ValidateUser" && inputs["userId"]?.Value<int>() > 0) {
            return new ActionMock(
                TestWorkflowStatus.Succeeded,
                "ValidateUser", 
                new MockOutput { Body = JToken.Parse(@"{""isValid"": true}") }
            );
        }
        
        return new ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus.Failed, "ValidateUser");
    }, 
    "ConditionalValidation");

JSON constructor

Creates a mock instance for ActionMock from JSON.

internal ActionMock(TestWorkflowStatus status, string name = null, JToken outputs = null, TestErrorInfo error = null)

Name	Description	Type	Required
status	The mock action result status.	TestWorkflowStatus	Yes
name	The mock action name.	string	No
outputs	The mock outputs.	MockOutput	No
error	The mock error.	TestErrorInfo	No

// Example: Create a mock action from JSON
var actionFromJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ActionMock>(File.ReadAllText(mockDataPath));

Properties

This class inherits the following properties from the OperationMock base class.

Name	Description	Type	Required
Name	Gets or sets the name for the mock operation.	string	No
Status	Gets or sets the operation status.	TestWorkflowStatus	No
Outputs	Gets or sets a value that represents static output in JSON format.	JToken	No
Error	Gets or sets the operation error.	TestErrorInfo	No
