Title Body

My unit tests for an ApiController uses some helpers methods to instantiate the controller: public static ResourcesController SetupResourcesController(HttpRequestMessage request, IResourceMetadataRepository repo, IUnitOfWorkService unitOfWorkService) { var config = new HttpConfiguration(); var defaultRoute = config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(RouteNames.DefaultApi , "api/{controller}/{id}"); var routeData = new HttpRouteData(defaultRoute, new HttpRouteValueDictionary { { "controller", "resources" } }); var resourcesController = new ResourcesController(repo, unitOfWorkService) { ControllerContext = new HttpControllerContext(config, routeData, request), Request = request }; resourcesController.Request.Properties.Add(HttpPropertyKeys.HttpRouteDataKey, routeData); resourcesController.Request.Properties[HttpPropertyKeys.HttpConfigurationKey] = config; // Compilation fail: The Property 'System.Web.Http.ApiController.User' has no setter. resourcesController.User = myStubUserPrincipal; return resourcesController; } My question is: how to set the User property for the controller? I've tried: request.Properties.Add("MS_UserPrincipal", myStubUserPrincipal); But this doesn't work either (the resourcesController.User property remains null).
