Testing Intuit IPP

Question

I would like to create some unit tests for inserting data to QuickBooks Online. I am having a problem with the authentication step:

        public DataServices Authenticate(IntuitServicesType intuitDataServicesType)
    {
        DataServices dataServices = null;

        string accessToken = HttpContext.Current.Session["accessToken"].ToString();
        string accessTokenSecret = HttpContext.Current.Session["accessTokenSecret"].ToString();
        string companyID = HttpContext.Current.Session["realm"].ToString();
        // now auth to IA
        OAuthRequestValidator oauthValidator = new OAuthRequestValidator(accessToken, accessTokenSecret, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["consumerKey"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["consumerSecret"].ToString());
        ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(oauthValidator, accessToken, companyID, intuitDataServicesType);

        dataServices = new DataServices(context);

        if (HttpContext.Current != null && HttpContext.Current.Session != null)
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Session["DataServices"] = dataServices;
        }

        return dataServices;
    }

In my unit test project, which has no user interface, how can I obtain an access token and an access token secret? I cannot log into Intuit from that area.

Answer 1

[TestMethod()]

    public void AuthorizeWithHeadersTest()
    {
        string accessToken = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AccessTokenQBD"];
        string accessTokenSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AccessTokenSecretQBD"];
        string consumerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConsumerKeyQBD"];
        string consumerKeySecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConsumerSecretQBD"];
        string requestUri = "https://appcenter.intuit.com/Developer/Create";
        WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(requestUri);
        webRequest.Headers.Add("ContentType", "text/xml");
        OAuthRequestValidator target = new OAuthRequestValidator(accessToken, accessTokenSecret, consumerKey, consumerKeySecret);
        target.Authorize(webRequest, string.Empty);
        Assert.IsTrue(webRequest.Headers.Count > 0);
    }

Answer 2

I'm sharing a sample standalone java code snippet. You can try the same in .net

From appcenter, you can create an app to get consumer key, consumer secret and app token. Using apiexplorer and the above consumer key, consumer secret, you can get access tokens.

AppCenter - https://appcenter.intuit.com/

Apiexplorer - https://developer.intuit.com/apiexplorer?apiname=V2QBO

You can set all the 5 values in the standalone program(setupQBO method). It will work fine.
