[Lift] Re: Testing snippets that depend on a user logged in
Hi Ryan,
It looks like you're currently using a JUnit TestCase. If you want an
easier port to something that would work you could use a ScalaTest
Suite like this:
import org.scalatest.Suite
class YourSuite extends Suite {
val session = new LiftSession(, randomString(20), Empty)
val stableTime = now
override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
S.initIfUninitted(session) {
val user = User.create
user.firstName(XXX)
user.lastName(YYY)
user.save
User.logUserIn(user)
test()
}
}
def testValue() {
val xml =
xml:group
tr
td
p:fullNameMy Name/p:fullName
/td
td
p:styleFighter Style/p:style
/td
td
p:weightWeight/p:weight
/td
/tr
/xml:group
val trainer = new Trainer()
val output = trainer.showPeople(xml)
// seems like you need an assertion here...
}
}
A Suite considers methods that start with test as tests, like JUnit
3, except they don't need to result in Unit so you don't need an extra
() at the end. The withFixture method is an alternative to
beforeEach/afterEach, which are like JUnit 3's setUp/tearDown methods.
Each test gets passed as a function to withFixture, which is
responsible for executing the test by invoking the function. In this
case, it is executed in the context created by S. initIfUninitted.
This is ScalaTest 1.0, which is available as a SNAPSHOT right now but
should be released proper a week from Monday.

[Lift] Re: Testing snippets that depend on a user logged in
Hi David,
Thanks. I appreciate that. I was actually already planning to request
getting some ScalaTest examples in the Lift archetypes right after
ScalaTest 1.0 comes out (on Oct 12, if all goes as planned), and have
already arranged with David Bernard to put ScalaTest examples into
simple-archetype-simple.
I think it is great that we have three decent Scala-specific testing
tools already, specs, ScalaTest, and ScalaCheck, plus the trusty Java
tools JUnit and TestNG. People have a lot of choice, so it is good
that the archetypes would show some of the options. I would also
suggest we include a ScalaCheck example in the archetypes as well. I
can use ScalaCheck from one of the ScalaTest examples I submit if you
like that idea. The downside is that it would add one more dependency,
but really I think people should find out about ScalaCheck.

[Lift] Re: unit test framework
Hi ph,
If you end up needing to use JUnit, you can import Assertions or
ShouldMatchers or MustMatchers from ScalaTest to get a nicer
scala-like assertion syntax inside JUnit tests. JUnit won't care it
was written in Scala or used ScalaTest assertions and will run it and
generate JUnit-compatible output, since it actually is JUnit. Here's
what that might look like:
import org.junit.Test
import org.scalatest.matchers.MustMatchers._
class MyJUnitTest {
@Test
def mapKeys() {
Map(one - 1, two - 2) must contain key (two)
}
@Test
def stringLength() {
hello, world must have length (12)
}

def stringCharAtMethodRejectsBadInput() {
