An interesting discussion, and I have sympathy for both points of view.
One practical point- I've occasionally been bitten by writing:

assertNotNull("expected object was null");

and not catching the fact that the object was indeed null since I forgot
to write:

assertNotNull("expected object was null", object);

Anyone else been caught by this trap?

No, nothing of that kind. I'm using that interface, essentially a
Builder, in a class for converting tabular data to some other format.
Thus, roughly, I have a class

class RowProcessor {
     void processRow(CBH cbh) {
         // determine what to do
         ...
         String s = cbh.getSomething();
         rememberSomething(s);
         ...
         // then do it
         if (...)
             cbh.onThis("...");
         else
             cbh.onThat("...");
     }
}

Exactly what is done depends not only on the current row, but also on
the history of previous rows. What I'd like to verify is that for a
given sequence of values returned form CBH#getSomething() I get the
correct sequence of calls to onThis() and onThat(). Currently, I'm
doing this with an EasyMock-generated mock for CBH. It's just a bit
more tedious than I like it to be. Maybe I just need a terser way to
record the mock. Seems like a plan.

> That interface is too big.

Is it? Please suggest ways to improve it.

Related questions :

[I just flicked through all the relevant chapters in JUnit Recipes to
avoid the inevitable :-) ]

I have always written stubs/mocks/fakes by hand but I have wanted to
give EasyMock a try for a while now and did so on a toy project (a robot
for Robocode if you really want to know !)


With EasyMock. I found that all my tests suddenly got more verbose and
more fragile.


On fragility :

Lets say I want to pass an interface into a constructor :

public void testXXX {
    IRobot robot = <from easy mock>
    // setup some expectations

    Radar radar = new Radar(robot);
    // an assertion about the radar
}

I have a whole bunch of tests like this (suitably factored using setup()
and the like).

The problem comes when I later want to do something extra in the radar's
constructor, say robot.getRadarHeading().  Now every test that calls the
constructor will need to change to set the appropriate expectation.



On verbosity :

If I did this manually, I would probably generate a base mock object for
IRobot that has sensible default behavior and then extend it anonymously
for particular tests. If a method does three things, I can write a test
for just one of those things. I find that when I use EasyMock, every
test has to be aware of those three things and hence every test seems to
be about three times bigger than it would otherwise have been.


and one last quibble :

The vast majority of my tests lok like this :

public void testXXX() {
    // some setup
    // an operation
    // some assertions
}

but with easy mock my tests look more like this :

public void testXXX() {
    // some setup mixed in with expectations
    // an operation
    // verify
}

It's often hard to tell the setup from the expectations, which feels
like a loss from an "express intent" point of view.


Does this match other people's experience ? How do YOU deal with them ?
Any suggestions for me ? Am I doing everything completely wrong ? Should
I just suck it up ?


Thanks in advance !

I have an IBM Thinkpad and if I type *assertEquals() very quickly, it
beeps. It drives me crazy.

Is it just my Thinkpad or have other people experienced this ? Are
Thinkpads JUnit aware ?

Although I have never tried this in Java, I accessed the kernel32.dll to
read the time. That library has a function SetSystemTime to do what you
want.



Java has a class called Runtime that should allow you to use that
library.



Here's a link to MS's SetSystemTime:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo
/base/setsystemtime.asp



Here's how I did it in Basic:



Type SYSTEMTIME

    thisYear As integer

    thisMonth As integer

    thisDayOfWeek As integer

    thisDay As integer

    thisHour As integer

    thisMinute As integer

    thisSecond As integer

    thisMilliseconds As integer

End Type



Declare Sub GetSystemTime lib "kernel32" Alias "GetSystemTime" (ByRef
IpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)

Declare Function getMS() as long





Function getMS() as long

     Dim systime As SYSTEMTIME

     call GetSystemTime(systime) 'From kernel32.dll

     Dim total as long

     Dim minutes as long

     dim seconds as long

     dim hours as long



     hours = systime.thisHour * 3600000

     minutes = systime.thisMinute * 60000

     seconds = systime.thisSecond

     seconds = seconds * 1000

     total = hours + minutes + seconds + systime.thisMilliseconds



     getMS = total



End Function

Subject: [junit] Change the system time for the test




For my JUnit tests I need to modify the system time.

Instead of doing this manually by changing the OS clock I would like
to change the clock programatically in Java.

Of course I can set the time on the Calendar object in the JUnit test.
But it has no effect on the tested class. In the tested class "new
Date() " returns always the current date and not the one which I set
in my JUnit test.

I have test data for business logic which I create before the test
starts and which contain absolute dates like 2004-12-31. So I need to
modify the system date for my tests.

What I need to test is calculation of the average sold quantity. But
only the last X weeks (from today) need to be considered. My test
sales data contains dates like 2004-12-31. Its much easier for me to
write and understand data with such "absolute" dates instead of
relative dates (by rolling the dates around and not understanding it
quickly). So it would be good for me to simply set the system date
before the test starts and thus use absolute dates for my tests
instead of relative ones.

Of course I could make the dates of the test data relative, but that
would be harder to code, understand and to maintain. It better for me
to change the system time. But it needs to be done programatically in
the JUnit test and not manually by changing the OS date by hand.

Can you provide a solution for that please?

I am a novice user of junit. I am trying to use it to test an
application that uses JAXB. I am using JUnit 3.8.1. When I use the
textui.testrunner to run the test, everything works fine and as
expected. However when I try to use the awui or the swingui, I get a
ClassCastException when it executes the marshalling statement

eg.
ArchiveLogArchiveLogElement archiveLogElement =
(ArchiveLogArchiveLogElement)
           unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File(fileName));

The only message that comes along with this exception is the dreaded
word "null".

I cetainly can use the textui but I want to use the swingui.

Any ideas out there as to why this is happening.

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if any of you are actually using JUnit + something
for perfomance testing. I see the advantage of being able to reuse
the existing unit-tests for performance testing without having to
write the testcases again (maybe even in a different (scripting)
language). But I'm sure one has to bear in mind that the unit tests
are to be used for performance testing as well, especially regarding
granularity and test-data. I also fear that JUnit tests ususally tend
to not represent user-behavior, which is supposed to be simulated
during load-tests. But I'm pretty sure than can be achieved with
appropriate scheduling.

So do you have any experience about how JUnit + JUnitPerf/+The
Grinder/... competes against "pure" load-test tools like Mercury's
LoadRunner, Rational Robot, OpenSTA, The Grinder(without JUnit) etc.?

The reason why I'm asking is because our developers start to use
JUnit (I made them buy your book J.B. ;-) from now on (some already
have used it) and I'm dealing with developing performance/loadtesting
processes. Most of our applications run as EJBs on Bea WLS 8.1 with
oracle DBs.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

One thing's for sure.  LoadRunner or Rational Robot will lose in the
area of price.  Outfitting a development team with licenses for either
of those is an expensive proposition.  All our load testing is done with
either free tools (JMeter, etc.) or homebrew tools.

You must be using a different version of JUnit.  ;-)

Make sure in Eclipse you're doing "Run As JUnit Test" and not "Run As
JUnit Plug-in Test".  That's assuming your first JUnit test is a very
simple test of some plain old Java object, like most tutorials
recommend.


Todd.

I agree, I use the HTTP Mock API, and I hate that it has discrete
expectations about the *number* of times an accessor is called.  I
looked desperately for a way to turn this off/tell it I don't care,
but I didn't find it.  For now, I just deal, but if I found a mock
HTTP interface that was complete and didn't have this behavior, I'd be
very tempted to jump ship.

I use the easymock "createNiceMock" rather frequently.  It makes the mock not
care which methods are called, how often, or in what order, since that is
*rarely* what I want to check.

How about apache JMeter? I do not have any experience but would love

Of people in my company who have used it, 1 really likes it and 2 hate
it because of its reliance on using GUI for test case development.  No
programmer I know likes to build program logic by drag-and-drop.

Are you accidentally running it as a JUnit Plugin Test instead of as
a JUnit Test?

[Warning: offtopic, in case it wasn't obvious in the subject]

I have a IBM Thinkpad T22 and I had noticed similar behaviour before on Windows
2000 Professional but I thought it was with a different set of 3 keystrokes ...
so being test-driven I typed out a little test ;-) (i.e. started pressing random
keys)

I have discovered that if I ert press nm, various cvb combinations hjk of yui
three tyu keys ghj at the same time or very quickly one after the other I can
easily get my keyboard to beep.

This only seems to work for some 3 key combinations, however the keys don't
necessarily have to be close in proximity to each other.

I have not yet found a 2 key combination that does this.

I wonder if it is specific to IBM Thinkpads; maybe it is specific to particular
models.

I have not yet tried booting it up in Linux to see if it is the hardware or some
Windows driver that is doing it.

No idea why this happens, however I do have some solutions to stop it beeping :

a) turn your sound down or off (probably not practical if you're listening to
MP3s etc)
b) type s-l-o-w-e-r (unless your keyboard is more sensitive than mine)

:-)

Rohan

P.S. You owe the Oracle a set of ear plugs to block out the sound of millions of
keyboards beeping over the next 24 hours as the junit mailing list subscribers
read their email (and these offtopic messages), and try this out. :-)

P.P.S. If you've never heard of the Usenet^H^H^H^H^H^HInternet Oracle s/he will
answer your questions at http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi  (Strangely
enough the keys Z-O-T don't beep for me)

Hello,

I'm would like to advise you an open source project we created:
http://junitscenario.sourceforge.net/

JUnitScenario is tool to simulate real life usage of applications. It
allows you to describe scenarios that are composed of unit tests calls
and simulate several users following those scenarios.

You have less options than tools like JUnitPerf but it's very easy to
make it work... just write an xml file like this:
<scenario name="cashier" users="20" loops="500">
  <task JUnitClass="org.mybank.MyFirstTest"
JUnitMethod="testCreateAccount" wait="10"/>
  <task JUnitClass="org.mybank.MyFirstTest"
JUnitMethod="testDipositMoney" wait="10"/>
  <task JUnitClass="org.mybank.MyFirstTest"
JUnitMethod="testWithdrawMoney" wait="50"/>
</scenario>

It doesn't have all the options of JMeter or JUnitPerf but it allows
anyone to create unit tests in 10 minutes without having to write lots
of files.. and there is nothing to compile :)

So here's my problem:

In a class, let's call RunTest (which extends TestCase), I make a call
to junit.swingui.TestRunner.run(CLASS) to run the test and bring up
the dialogue.  The problem is that I have a static variable in the
CLASS I am trying to test, and I need to set it with a value before.
So I call:
   CLASS.static_var = foo;
   junit.swingui.TestRunner.run(CLASS)
but the static_var gets replaced whenever I make the second call.

One thing to note is that when I use juint.textui.TestRunner.run it
can take in a TestSuite, which I generate using addTestSuite, and it
doesn't write over static_var.  Using the textui interface works fine
in this case.

So my question is:  Is there to keep a static variable value when
passing into junit.swingui.TestRunner.run or perhaps a way to pass
junit.swingui.TestRunner.run a TestSuite object?

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with the combination of ANT, JUnit and
log4j.  Here's the situation.  The ANT build file uses the <junit>
task.  Log4j is configured to print to the console.  There are also
times when the unit tests use System.out directly.  The problem is
that the log4j statements are not captured by the <junit> as part of
the standard output.  The logging statements do appear on the console
when I run the tests.  But since they are not captured by <junit>,
they do not appear in the XML files and are lost forever.

I'm going to attempt to post the relevant portions of the relevant
files, but I've never posted to Yahoo before and they are XML, so it
might not work...

Here's the ANT target:

     <target name="run-test" depends="init,test-setup">
         <!-- execute the test -->
         <junit fork="yes"
                dir="${basedir}"
                haltonfailure="${test.halt.on.failure}"
                printsummary="withOutAndErr">
             <classpath refid="test.classpath" />
             <formatter type="xml" />
             <formatter type="plain" usefile="false"/>
             <jvmarg line="${test.jvmargs}" />
             <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${test.report.xml.dir}">

                 <fileset dir="${test.src}" >
                     <include name="${test.full.includes}" />
                     <exclude name="${test.full.excludes}" />
                  </fileset>
             </batchtest>
         </junit>
     </target>

Here's the log4j configuration:

<log4j:configuration debug="false">
<!-- debug is for configuration file debugging -->
         <appender name="SYS_OUT" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
             <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
             <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
                 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{2} -%m%n"/>
             </layout>
         </appender>

         <root>
             <level value="INFO"/>
             <appender-ref ref="SYS_OUT"/>
         </root>
</log4j:configuration>

If anybody could enlighten me on the subject, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ray

There is a mailing list for HTTPUnit.  While there are folks trolling
this list that use HTTPUnit, we are not necessarily the experts.  You
ought to therefore post on the HTTPUnit mailing list.

Hi

Lots of smoke, but basically what I try to do is insert a new object
without set the Non-nullable columns. So Hibernate gives an error. I
did wraper the code with catch Exception, why it still gives error?

HttpUnit has limited support for JavaScript. I think
document.write() might be one of the not implemented
features at the moment but haven't checked for a while.
You might also consider HtmlUnit. It has better
JavaScript support at the moment. You can think of
it as an equivalent replacement to HttpUnit but
it does have a different API so you would need to
rewrite (some of) your tests. There should be no
problem using them together (not for the same test
but for different tests) so you probably only need
to rewrite your JavaScript-related test.

Paul.
P.S. document.write() is supported to some
extent by HtmlUnit (I have used it) but it may
not be fully supported. You might also consider
using Canoo WebTest which sits above HtmlUnit
and lets you write your tests declaratively
using XML.

Well, getSomething() seems not to have anything to do with the event
handler methods, so I'd move that to a different class. Maybe I need to
see it used in context, but I even have to wonder why you'd need one of
these things to give you a String so you could give it back Strings
later. Why does it not just remember the String it has?

Hi Tan,

Instead of calling junit.swingui.TestRunner.run(CLASS), use following peice
of code to invoke the TestRunner.

String[] testArgs = new String[3];
testArgs[0] = "-noloading";
testArgs[1] = "-c";
testArgs[2] = <Your class name>.class.getName();
junit.swingui.TestRunner tRunner = new junit.swingui.TestRunner();
tRunner.start(testArgs);

This way, it will not re-load your class and it will have a correct value of
the static variable.

I don't. What I do is watch the 20 slowest tests every week, then look
for performance hotspots as they evolve. This seems to help me avoid at
least common performance problems.

Best of luck. Performance testing, proper, is not my strong point. I
defer to Mike Clark (JUnitPerf) and Mike Bowler (HtmlUnit, Java
performance guru).
