I have a component whose init method takes the path to an xml file and parses the contents of that xml file into an internal data structure. Now I am trying to write the unit test for this function and I am getting stuck. My original attempt was to pass in a test xml file and the manually create the matching data structure and compare the two. The problem is, during the parsing of this xml file, the component creates and inserts several UUID values into the internal data structure. Obviously, I cannot magically generate the same UUID value when I manually create the matching data structure to compare against.
So, does anybody have any suggestions on testing this type of functionality? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284643 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
