RE: [CFCDev] Unit Test for DAO

[Jeff Chastain]

My understanding was that the setUp function was run before every test and the tearDown function was run after every test.  The problem is, if the test case is instantiated for every test, then the setUp function is really pretty useless as anything in the global area of the component will be executed before the test anyways.  I am not 100% sure why the test case is instantiated for each test ... if it were not, then the setUp and tearDown functions would make perfect sense.

Agreed, isn't the whole point of setUp() that it only be run once, when the TestCase is instantiated? Or am I wrong and setUp() is, in other xUnit frameworks, run prior to every test?

Paul -

 

The more I look at this, the less reason I can see for the setUp method to exist.  Based upon our conversation before, if the test component is instantiated for each test, what is the difference in putting the variables in the 'global' section of the cfc vs. in the setup method?

Jeff,

 <!--- define base parameters --->
 <cfset variables.dsn = 'listManager_mySQL' />

 

 <!--- define bean data structure --->
 <cfset variables.testData = structNew() />
 <cfset variables.testData.id = '' />
 <cfset variables.testData.name = 'Test Property'/>
 <cfset variables.testData.dataType = 'String' />
 <cfset variables.testData.required = true />
 <cfset variables.testData.defaultValue = '' />
 <cfset variables.testData.currentValue = '' />

One thing I noticed right away is that this code should go inside the setUp() method. Didn't have a chance to look at the rest too closely.
