How to do snapshot testing on OpenAPI spec

This is a simple writeup of how snapshot testing is done on the OpenAPI spec for Velopack API. Though the implementation can be easily applied to other services.

Setup the API project

The API project should include an OpenAPI endpoint. The most popular libraries for this are Swashbuckle, NSwag, and soon built-in support.

The API project should be configured to serve up the Open API specification. For Velopack, we are using NSwag. The setup in the API resembles the following:

Demos

Brain Teaser: Update the above code such that that unit tests pass. Do not update the content of the unit tests (however you are allowed to switch off of xUnit if you like).

Personal notes on presenting and streaming.

Before starting

Turn off un-needed software. Especially things with notifications: Slack, Skype, Teams, etc.
Turn on Focus Assist
When sharing your desktop, consider sharing a secondary screen rather than the primary screen. Many apps will post notifications to the primary screen so this will help cut down on accidently sharing out notifications.
Hide desktop icons
Consider resolution/DPI. Remember that for streaming, people watching may be on lower resolutions; don't stream above 1080p.
Hide task bar. Either set auto hide, or simply crop the shared section of your screen to omit it.
Consider if desktop background is appropriate.
