Hi,
I struggle for a functionality I want to add on Autotest. Suppose a class
with two methods A and B, such as A senders of B
Zork>>methodA
self methodB
And unit tests:
ZorkTest>>testSomething
.....
Zork new methodA
...
self assert: ....
If I change methodA, Autotest detects it, search all senders of methodA in
tests and run. As ZorkTest>>testSomething is sender of Zork>>methodA, it
will find and run it.
Now if I change methodB and there's no senders in tests, the previous
heuristic won't work. So I added as last heuristic: if no method found,
search all TestCases that references the changed method class and run.
So here it will find ZorkTest and run all its tests.
The problem is that I don't really know if the method I've changed has been
actually "hit" by the tests. I just see that tests has been run. I don't
know if my method has been called when running the tests.
So I want to detect this.
One way of doing this seems to use
MethodContext>>runSimulated:contextAtEachStep:. I've found this looking at
MessageTally. Is it the best solution ?
So in Autotest>>findRunAndShowTestsOf: I try something like this
Autotest>>findRunAndShowTestsOf:changedMethod
| testMethods aTestResult methodHit |
"Finds the test related to changedMethod, run them and tell the view to
update"
testMethods := search methodsFor: changedMethod.
methodHit := false.
thisContext sender
runSimulated: [aTestResult := runner run: testMethods]
contextAtEachStep: [:current|
(current method = changedMethod) "<--- here I detect if changedMethod
has been hit"
ifTrue: [methodHit := true]].
.....
but using this debugger opens with "SimulationGuardException: triggered by
BlockClosure>>newProcess" in
MethodContext>>doPrimitive:method:receiver:args:
As I don't (yet :) understand all this stuff, I want to know if it's the
right way to do it and what should I check.
Thanks
