[ANN] Grails Testing Examples Winelovers Application (London GGUG)

by j pimmel :: Rate this Message:

All

Following from the London GGUG talk we gave on Wednesday it was time to provide the widercommunity some visibility on the reference testing application which showcases a full running application with some sample user stories. In this app you will find examples showing

unit tests (defined against the new testing plugin, 0.3)

domain/command objects
controllers
taglib
plain old groovy objects
JSUnit
EasyB

integration tests

services

acceptance testing

selenium

You can checkout the project at

https://svn.energizedwork.com/skunkworks/grails/WineLovers

inside of which the presentation we made is provided and can be accessed directly at

https://svn.energizedwork.com/skunkworks/grails/WineLovers/test/resources/grails-effective-testing-talk.ppt

Sadly the video of the presentation has not been digitized following some technical snafu causing the loss of sound on the recording with the Skills Matter equipment :(

Running the application

The app ships *without* any of the required plugins installed so to enable the most very basic test run (test-app) you will at least need the testing-plugin developed by Peter Ledbrook @ G2One. The latest 0.3 version presently available will need to be installed, which simply involves issuing command

grails install-plugin testing

in the root of the project folder

For the remaining testing types the installation of the plugins should not interfere with the existing reference test examples .. they are already created and checked into the correct locations for them to run following a plugin install

JSUnit

Again, you need to install the plugin to run the test examples for Javascript testing

grails install-plugin jsunit

For further information on how to run the tests locally follow the grails page: the main point is you need to provide a path (and on windows you will need to give 8.3 short names, since spaces aren't handled) to Firefox

http://grails.org/jsUnit+plugin

Selenium

Install the plugin

grails install-plugin selenium

Then run-app in one console and in another

grails run-selenium ${path-to-browser}

EasyB

By far the most experimental part of the project is the integration of EasyB BDD for Groovy with Grails.

Should you wish to explore this you will have to install the plugin for this directly as a zip from

http://code.google.com/p/easyb/source/browse/trunk/easyb-plugins/grails-plugin/grails-easybtest-0.1.zip

The examples which are shown test (at a unit level)

domain
plain old groovy

and integration wise

controller
service

These are liable to be changed to use the testing plugin example also at some stage in the coming two weeks.

Outstanding

I have yet to complete the examples for webtest, but will aim to do so a soon as its possible.

Feedback

I would welcome any feedback and any examples people would like added or updated, or suggestions for more examples/plugins etc.

The project is provided as-is with no warranty or guarantees! I strive to make sure it is not broken or with issues, but as with all part time projects you should be aware that sometimes things go wrong.

When making feedback it may be preferable to contact me directly unless the material under discussion has relevance to the list.

When reporting issues please outline

What plugins you have installed
What piece of code is at issue
Steps you undertook to create the issue
(if available) your code fix that you found resolved it

Hope this if of use to people

Cheers
