IDbAsyncEnumerable not implemented

I renamed the example test classes from here to remove the word Test since they are useful outside of testing:

• DbAsyncEnumerable
• DbAsyncEnumerator<T>
• DbAsyncQueryProvider<TEntity>

Then I added the extension class below so you can now just do ...

var data = new List<Blog> 
{ 
    new Blog { Name = "BBB" }, 
    new Blog { Name = "ZZZ" }, 
    new Blog { Name = "AAA" }, 
}.AsAsyncQueryable();   // <<== new extension method

This is not only useful in unit tests but also when you want to implement an IQueryable<T> interface that either returns an async database query or in memory data that you can subsequently safely call as query.ToAsyncArray().

public static class AsyncQueryableExtensions
{
    public static IQueryable<TElement> AsAsyncQueryable<TElement>(this IEnumerable<TElement> source)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(source);
    }

    public static IDbAsyncEnumerable<TElement> AsDbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(this IEnumerable<TElement> source)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(source);
    }

    public static EnumerableQuery<TElement> AsAsyncEnumerableQuery<TElement>(this IEnumerable<TElement> source)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(source);
    }

    public static IQueryable<TElement> AsAsyncQueryable<TElement>(this Expression expression)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(expression);
    }

    public static IDbAsyncEnumerable<TElement> AsDbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(this Expression expression)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(expression);
    }

    public static EnumerableQuery<TElement> AsAsyncEnumerableQuery<TElement>(this Expression expression)
    {
        return new DbAsyncEnumerable<TElement>(expression);
    }
}

In my case the exception was caused by using the wrong ToListAsync extension.

It came from:

using System.Data.Entity;

instead of

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

Changing the namespace fixed the error.

Your scenario is explicitly mentioned in the link provided with the exception message (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287068). The missing ingredient is the IDbAsyncQueryProvider that you should return from your Provider property.

Just navigate through the link to arrive at the boilerplate implementation.

Little I can add, I'll just quote the essential phrase:

In order to use asynchronous queries we need to do a little more work. If we tried to use our Moq DbSet with the GetAllBlogsAsync method we would get the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: The source IQueryable doesn't implement IDbAsyncEnumerable. Only sources that implement IDbAsyncEnumerable can be used for Entity Framework asynchronous operations. For more details see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287068.

In order to use the async methods we need to create an in-memory DbAsyncQueryProvider to process the async query. Whilst it would be possible to setup a query provider using Moq, it is much easier to create a test double implementation in code. The code for this implementation is as follows:

etc...
