Svrnty.GeoManagement.Tests

Integration tests for the Svrnty.GeoManagement library.

Setup

The tests require a Google Maps API key to run the integration tests.

Step 1: Get a Google Maps API Key

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the Geocoding API
4. Create credentials (API Key)
5. (Optional) Restrict the API key to only allow Geocoding API calls

Step 2: Configure the API Key

1. Copy appsettings.Example.json to appsettings.Development.json:

   cp appsettings.Example.json appsettings.Development.json
   

2. Edit appsettings.Development.json and replace YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY_HERE with your actual API key:

   {
     "GoogleGeoManagement": {
       "ApiKey": "AIza...", // Your actual API key
       "Language": "en",
       "Region": "us"
     }
   }
   

3. Important: appsettings.Development.json is in .gitignore and will not be committed to version control.

Alternative: Using Environment Variables

You can also set the API key via environment variables:

export GoogleGeoManagement__ApiKey="your-api-key-here"

Note: Use double underscores (__) to represent nested configuration sections.

Running Tests

dotnet test

The integration tests will make actual calls to the Google Geocoding API. Be aware of:

• API Rate Limits: Google has rate limits on API calls
• API Costs: While Google provides free tier usage, be aware of potential costs
• Network Dependency: Tests require an internet connection

Test Coverage

The test suite includes:

• Forward geocoding (address to coordinates)
• Reverse geocoding (coordinates to address)
• Address normalization (both object and string)
• Edge cases (invalid addresses, ocean coordinates)

All tests use real Google API calls to ensure the integration works correctly.
