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

[j pimmel]

• 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

http://www.javathinking.com/?p=123

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

Great stuff. Wish I could have been there, but I was on baby sitting duties :-(

Keep it up

I really enjoyed the talk and left with plenty to think about! I had never tried Selenium before, but I'm currently enjoying putting test cases together for it!

[buildlackey]

Hello, Jerome:

Thanks very much for the work on the WineLovers example. This helped
me figure out how to get going with the grails easybtest plugin.

My experience was that for Grails 1.0.4 the plugin installs fine, but
there seem to be some glitches when I try to install into a  
Grails 1.1 environment.

I would submit a bug report, but I'm not sure where it should go.
Nothing on this list   ->
    http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILSPLUGINS
seems related to easybtest.   Any guidance much appreciated.


The detailed steps that I followed and the error that I got
when installing into a Grails 1.1 environment are shown below.
(again this all ran pretty much without incident  with Grails 1.0.4 )


Grails 1.0.4
 
    svn co https://svn.energizedwork.com/skunkworks/grails/WineLovers
    cd WineLovers
    grails install-plugin testing
    grails install-plugin easybtest
    grails easyb-test

        I get the nice html reports on test results
        Console output is ->
                11 total behaviors run
                1 total failures
       
                        1 test seems to fail. But at least it runs..
                        For me that's a good starting point.

Next, Grails 1.1  (same steps)
                       
    svn co https://svn.energizedwork.com/skunkworks/grails/WineLovers
    cd WineLovers
    grails install-plugin testing
    grails install-plugin easybtest

            Full Output from last 2 commands shown below... note
            inability to install easybtest.
