> I posed a question on the dev mailing list about community enthusiasm for
> Groovy unit test support.
> {quote}
> I am considering writing unit tests in for new development/regression testing
> in Groovy. There are numerous advantages to this [1][2] (such as map
> coercion, relaxed permissions on dependency injection, etc.). Mocking large
> and complex objects, such as NiFiProperties, when only one feature is under
> test is especially easy. I plan to write “Java-style” unit tests, but this
> would also make TDD/BDD frameworks like Spock or Cucumber much easier to use.
> I figured before doing this I would poll the community and see if anyone
> strongly objects? In previous situations, I have created a custom Maven
> profile which only runs when triggered (by an environment variable, current
> username, etc.) to avoid polluting the environment of anyone who doesn’t want
> the Groovy test dependencies installed.
> Does anyone have thoughts on this?
