RestSharp with TestServer

Expected Behavior

Get back a valid response from a controller endpoint using RestTest

Actual Behavior

I always get back a 404.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Example call with RestSharp

public async Task<Example> GetExample(Guid exampleId)
{            
       this._restClient = new RestClient("http://localhost");
       Example example = null;
       RestRequest request = new RestRequest("api/example/{id}");
       request.Method = Method.GET;
       request.AddUrlSegment("id", exampleId);
       request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
       var response = this._restClient.Execute<Example>(request);
       example = response.Data;
       return example;
}

Working example with HttpClient

TestServer server = new TestServer(
               new WebHostBuilder()
                   .UseStartup<Startup>());

HttpClient client = server.CreateClient();

var exampleId= new Guid("e2e8e066-2586-446a-9668-099eeb3e14ff");
var response = await client.GetAsync($"/api/example/{exampleId}");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var responseJson = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var example= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Example>(responseJson);

StackTrace

A 404 is returned and a break point on the Controller is never it when using RestSharp.

Unfortunately, the TestServer.CreateClient produces an instance of HttpClient only. The only possible solution is to write something similar, which is quite a lot of work.

Thanks @alexeyzimarev. We moved away from RestSharp and switched to HttpClient. Some test projects still reference RestSharp, I will try it out. 👍🏼
