Groovy 2.2.0

groovy.util
[Java] Class GroovyTestCase

java.lang.Object
  junit.framework.TestCase
      groovy.util.GroovyTestCase

public class GroovyTestCase
extends TestCase

A default JUnit TestCase in Groovy. This provides a number of helper methods plus avoids the JUnit restriction of requiring all test* methods to be void return type.

Field Summary
static String TEST_SCRIPT_NAME_PREFIX

Method Summary
protected void assertArrayEquals(Object[] expected, Object[] value)

Asserts that the arrays are equivalent and contain the same values

protected void assertContains(char expected, char[] array)

Asserts that the array of characters contains a given char

protected void assertContains(int expected, int[] array)

Asserts that the array of ints contains a given int

static void assertEquals(String message, Object expected, Object actual)

static void assertEquals(Object expected, Object actual)

static void assertEquals(String expected, String actual)

protected void assertInspect(Object value, String expected)

Asserts that the value of inspect() on the given object matches the given text string

protected void assertLength(int length, char[] array)

Asserts that the array of characters has a given length

protected void assertLength(int length, int[] array)

Asserts that the array of ints has a given length

protected void assertLength(int length, Object[] array)

Asserts that the array of objects has a given length

protected void assertScript(String script)

Asserts that the script runs without any exceptions

protected void assertToString(Object value, String expected)

Asserts that the value of toString() on the given object matches the given text string

protected String fixEOLs(String value)

Returns a copy of a string in which all EOLs are \n.

String getMethodName()

String getName()

Overload the getName() method to make the test cases look more like AgileDox (thanks to Joe Walnes for this tip!)

protected String getTestClassName()

static boolean notYetImplemented(TestCase caller)

Runs the calling JUnit test again and fails only if it unexpectedly runs.

boolean notYetImplemented()

Convenience method for subclasses of GroovyTestCase, identical to

 GroovyTestCase.notYetImplemented(this); 
.

protected String shouldFail(Closure code)

Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated.

protected String shouldFail(Class clazz, Closure code)

Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated and that a particular exception type is thrown.

protected String shouldFailWithCause(Class clazz, Closure code)

Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated and that a particular exception type can be attributed to the cause.

Method Detail

assertArrayEquals

protected void assertArrayEquals(Object[] expected, Object[] value)
Asserts that the arrays are equivalent and contain the same values
Parameters:
expected
value


assertContains

protected void assertContains(char expected, char[] array)
Asserts that the array of characters contains a given char
Parameters:
expected - expected character to be found
array - the array


assertContains

protected void assertContains(int expected, int[] array)
Asserts that the array of ints contains a given int
Parameters:
expected - expected int
array - the array


assertEquals

public static void assertEquals(String message, Object expected, Object actual)


assertEquals

public static void assertEquals(Object expected, Object actual)


assertEquals

public static void assertEquals(String expected, String actual)


assertInspect

protected void assertInspect(Object value, String expected)
Asserts that the value of inspect() on the given object matches the given text string
Parameters:
value - the object to be output to the console
expected - the expected String representation


assertLength

protected void assertLength(int length, char[] array)
Asserts that the array of characters has a given length
Parameters:
length - expected length
array - the array


assertLength

protected void assertLength(int length, int[] array)
Asserts that the array of ints has a given length
Parameters:
length - expected length
array - the array


assertLength

protected void assertLength(int length, Object[] array)
Asserts that the array of objects has a given length
Parameters:
length - expected length
array - the array


assertScript

protected void assertScript(String script)
Asserts that the script runs without any exceptions
Parameters:
script - the script that should pass without any exception thrown


assertToString

protected void assertToString(Object value, String expected)
Asserts that the value of toString() on the given object matches the given text string
Parameters:
value - the object to be output to the console
expected - the expected String representation


fixEOLs

protected String fixEOLs(String value)
Returns a copy of a string in which all EOLs are \n.


getMethodName

public String getMethodName()


getName

public String getName()
Overload the getName() method to make the test cases look more like AgileDox (thanks to Joe Walnes for this tip!)


getTestClassName

protected String getTestClassName()


notYetImplemented

public static boolean notYetImplemented(TestCase caller)
Runs the calling JUnit test again and fails only if it unexpectedly runs.
This is helpful for tests that don't currently work but should work one day, when the tested functionality has been implemented.
The right way to use it is:
 public void testXXX() {
   if (GroovyTestCase.notYetImplemented(this)) return;
   ... the real (now failing) unit test
 }
 
Idea copied from HtmlUnit (many thanks to Marc Guillemot). Future versions maybe available in the JUnit distro. The purpose of providing a 'static' version is such that you can use the feature even if not subclassing GroovyTestCase.
Returns:
when not itself already in the call stack


notYetImplemented

public boolean notYetImplemented()
Convenience method for subclasses of GroovyTestCase, identical to
 GroovyTestCase.notYetImplemented(this); 
.
Returns:
when not itself already in the call stack
See Also:
notYetImplemented(junit.framework.TestCase)


shouldFail

protected String shouldFail(Closure code)
Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated.
Parameters:
code - the closure that should fail
Returns:
the message of the thrown Throwable


shouldFail

protected String shouldFail(Class clazz, Closure code)
Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated and that a particular exception type is thrown.
Parameters:
clazz - the class of the expected exception
code - the closure that should fail
Returns:
the message of the expected Throwable


shouldFailWithCause

protected String shouldFailWithCause(Class clazz, Closure code)
Asserts that the given code closure fails when it is evaluated and that a particular exception type can be attributed to the cause. The expected exception class is compared recursively with any nested exceptions using getCause() until either a match is found or no more nested exceptions exist.

If a match is found the error message associated with the matching exception is returned. If no match was found the method will fail.

Parameters:
clazz - the class of the expected exception
code - the closure that should fail
Returns:
the message of the expected Throwable
