How do I test if a URL returns http 404 error in ASP.NET MVC 3? I would like to write a small test to check if a view is being called when I write a specific URL.

Thanks.

Mock the httpContextBase of your controller with mvcContrib-test helper and check what is the response status like that: 

Response.StatusCode == 404;

  • Thanks gdoron, any other chance without installing any helper on dev and build machines? – abenci Nov 23 '11 at 07:46
  • @devdept, Welll you don't have to install anything, but mocking httpContext is a terrible headache. BTW, it's just a package from nuget, why not install it and save time for coffee? – gdoron Nov 23 '11 at 08:37
