Question

I have an action like this:

 public ViewResult Index()
        {
            var model = someFactory.CreateModel();
            return View(model);
        }

What is the simplest way to test it on “yellow screen of deth” appearance?

Ofсourse I’ll mock some Factory logic.

I just want to test ViewResult on some stupid syntax runtime errors.

Update: In controller logic is no exceptions, but some time I could get runtime exception while ExcecuteResult method excecution. In other words I what to test View rendring process.

You need to execute the view results, here is a blog post how to do it with Razor:

If you are using WebForms views you will have to use a similar method.
