6.9 Test it

The tests run PlaceOrder through the train bus, which is trusted and checks no attribute, so the train tests give the run a caller themselves. The host tests sign in for real, with the development key, and check what each caller can do.

Tests read the database as a member of staff unless they say otherwise, so they see every order.

tests/Shopfront.Tests/TestCaller.cs:

using Shopfront.Data;
 
namespace Shopfront.Tests;
 
internal sealed record TestCaller(string? CustomerId, bool IsStaff) : IShopfrontCaller
{
    public static readonly TestCaller Staff = new(null, IsStaff: true);
 
    public static TestCaller Customer(string id) => new(id, IsStaff: false);
}

tests/Shopfront.Tests/TestDatabase.cs:

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Shopfront.Data;
 
namespace Shopfront.Tests;
 
// The tests' own database, beside the application's, so a test never touches its rows.
internal static class TestDatabase
{
    public const string ConnectionString =
        "Host=localhost;Database=shopfront_tests;Username=postgres;Password=shopfront";
 
    // A context for a caller; staff, who read every order, unless the test says otherwise.
    public static ShopfrontDbContext NewContext(IShopfrontCaller? caller = null) =>
        new(
            new DbContextOptionsBuilder<ShopfrontDbContext>().UseNpgsql(ConnectionString).Options,
            caller ?? TestCaller.Staff
        );
 
    // Drops and creates the database: the seeded catalogue, and no orders or runs.
    public static async Task Reset()
    {
        await using var db = NewContext();
        await db.Database.EnsureDeletedAsync();

        await using var db = NewContext();
        return await db.Products.Where(p => p.Sku == sku).Select(p => p.Stock).SingleAsync();
    }
}

The junction tests change only where their inputs did.

The last test is the one the owner-scope guard asks every application to write: one customer creates a row, a second customer reads, and gets nothing of the first's.

The data-layer guard learns which rows belong to someone. Its owner-scope census reads the model and fails on any entity that holds an owner's id, or hangs off one that does, without a filter that reads the caller.

    protected override IReadOnlyList<Type> DomainContexts => [typeof(ShopfrontDbContext)];
 
    // The model, built with no database and no caller, for the census to read.
    protected override IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyModel> OwnerScopedModels
    {
        get
        {
            var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<ShopfrontDbContext>()
                .UseNpgsql("Host=localhost;Database=model_only")
                .Options;
            using var context = new ShopfrontDbContext(options, NoShopfrontCaller.Instance);
            return [context.Model];
        }
    }
 
    protected override OwnerScopeCensusOptions OwnerScope =>
        new()
        {
            OwnerType = typeof(Order),
            PrincipalAccessorType = typeof(IShopfrontCaller),
            OwnerIdProperties = new HashSet<string> { nameof(Order.CustomerId) },
        };
}

OwnerType is the entity rows belong to. Shopfront has no customer table, so it is the order itself, owned through CustomerId, and the census then also requires a filter on OrderItem, which hangs off it. Delete the item filter and this guard fails, naming OrderItem.

What we have

Shopfront knows who is asking. A customer orders as themselves and reads only their own orders, a member of staff reads every order and places none, and a caller nobody signed in is refused at the door. The rules live where they hold everywhere: who may run a train on the train, which rows a caller may read on the data. A host missing either check refuses to start.

The API is two hand-written endpoints. The next chapter replaces them with GraphQL: the catalogue for everyone, PlaceOrder for customers, and each customer's orders, all from the same rules.
