[QUESTION] Regarding integration testing

[SuperJMN]

I would like to create integration tests. The real application is an ASP.NET API, but within the context of integration testing, I don't have access to the client registration goodness that is provided via Refit.HttpClientFactory.

So, I came up with this:

public class IntegrationTests
{
	public Task Test()
	{
		var sut = CreateSut();
		await sut.SomeMethod();
		// Rest of the test
	}

	private IMyApi CreateSut()
	{
		return RestService.For<IMyApi>(
			RestService.CreateHttpClient("http:/someserver.com/api",
				new RefitSettings()
				{
					AuthorizationHeaderValueGetter = () => GetToken(config.Authorization)
				}));
	}

	private async Task<string> GetToken(AuthorizationOptions authorizationOptions)
	{
		var client = RestService.CreateHttpClient(authorizationOptions.TokenUri.ToString(), new RefitSettings());
		var passwordTokenRequest = AuthorizationMixin.ToPasswordTokenRequest(authorizationOptions);
		var response = await client.RequestPasswordTokenAsync(passwordTokenRequest);
		var token = response.AccessToken;

		if (token is null)
		{
			throw new InvalidOperationException("Response token is null");
		}

		return token;
	}
}

So, what's the problem I see? The problem is that, in order to get the authorization token in `GetToken', I need to instantiate an a secondary HttpClient.

I guess if there's a better method to do this.

Thanks in advance!

What does the code for getting a token have to do with HttpClientFactory?
