I am trying to access a text file in asp.net mvc3 test project, the common way I know to access it is through HttpContext class like this

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(“Temp.txt”);

But it returns “Current” as null!

After a little search I found few reasons of Current being null, in my case it is I guess using a router handler to route requests.

But not getting the way to do it for my case.

Can anyone help me on that?

HttpContext is not available on test context, only on web enviroment. You need an HttpContext stub. Avoid this direct dependence.
