Testing controller Action that uses User.Identity.Name

Viewed 11228

I have an action that relies on User.Identity.Name to get the username of the current user to get a list of his orders:

public ActionResult XLineas()
    {
        ViewData["Filtre"] = _options.Filtre;
        ViewData["NomesPendents"] = _options.NomesPendents;
        return View(_repository.ObteLiniesPedido(User.Identity.Name,_options.Filtre,_options.NomesPendents));
    }

Now I'm trying to write unit tests for this, but I get stuck on how to provide a Mock for User.Identity.Name. If I run my test as I have it (without mock for User...), I get a Null.. exception.

Which is the correct approach for this? I'm thinking that my Action code is not good for unit testing.
