Class OnlineTestSupport

Object

OnlineTestSupport

public abstract class OnlineTestSupport
extends Object

JUnit 4 test support for test cases that require an "online" resource, such as an external server or database.

See OnlineTestCase for details of behaviour and test fixture configuration.

Subclass names should end with "OnlineTest" to allow Maven to treat them specially.

This class contains an adapter to OnlineTestCase that allows its use with JUnit 4. Delegation is used to recycle the behaviour of OnlineTestCase without extending TestCase. This is necessary because TestRunners appear to give priority to JUnit 3 behaviour, ignoring JUnit 4 annotations in suites that extend TestCase.

Method Detail

before

public void before()
            throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

after

public void after()
           throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

getFixtureId

protected abstract String getFixtureId()

Subclasses must override this method to return a fixture id.

Returns:

fixture id

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.getFixtureId()

connect

protected void connect()
                throws Exception

Override this method to connect to an online resource. Throw an exception on failure.

Subclasses do not have to override this method, but doing so allows builders to choose to have this test disable itself when the online resource is not available.

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.connect()

disconnect

protected void disconnect()
                   throws Exception

Override this method to disconnect from an online resource. Throw an exception on failure.

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.disconnect()

isOnline

protected boolean isOnline()
                    throws Exception

Override this method to return false if you can detect that an online resource required for this test is not available,

Returns:

false if a required resource is not online

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.isOnline()

setUpInternal

protected void setUpInternal()
                      throws Exception

Method for subclasses to latch onto the setup phase.

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.setUpInternal()

tearDownInternal

protected void tearDownInternal()
                         throws Exception

Method for subclasses to latch onto the teardown phase.

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.tearDownInternal()

createOfflineFixture

protected Properties createOfflineFixture()

Allows tests to create an offline fixture in cases where the user has not specified an explicit fixture for the test.

Note, that this should method should on be implemented if the test case is created of creating a fixture which relies solely on embedded or offline resources. It should not reference any external or online resources as it prevents the user from running offline.

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.createOfflineFixture()

createExampleFixture

protected Properties createExampleFixture()

Allows test to create a sample fixture for users.

If this method returns a value the first time a fixture is looked up and not found this method will be called to create a fixture file with the same id, but suffixed with .template.

See Also:

OnlineTestCase.createExampleFixture()

getFixture

protected Properties getFixture()

Return properties configured in the fixture.

This method allows subclasses in other packages to access fixture properties.

Returns:

properties configured in the fixture.
