[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)
}
@Test
def stringCharAtMethodRejectsBadInput() {
intercept[StringIndexOutOfBoundsException] {
hi.charAt(-1)
}
}
}

[Lift] Re: unit test framework
Hi Bill and ph,
Using specs matchers inside a JUnit test class is also possible using
the org.specs.SpecsMatchers trait.
However, I realize that both ScalaTest and specs suffer from the same
issue in that scenario.
When expectations are failing an exception is thrown but it is
interpreted by JUnit as an error instead of a failure.
We should instead throw an AssertionFailedError from the junit
library.
That shouldn't be a big deal to fix.
Eric.

[Lift] Re: unit test framework
Hi,
My understanding is that historically the first tests for lift were
proposed as JUnit tests.
Then I implemented a few tests using specs (which I created), mostly
for the lift-util module.
Now, to answer your question, specs is compatible with JUnit, so you
can write specs and make them runnable with JUnit by writing:
class MySpec extends SpecificationWithJUnit {
}
[note1: that this is with specs-1.5.1-SNAPSHOT, with 1.5.0 you would
write extends Specification with JUnit. This was changed to remove
junit dependencies on the Specification class].
[note2: the other, more verbose way, of doing the same thing is to
declare:
class MySpecTest extend org.specs.runner.JUnit(MySpec)
object MySpec extends Specification
]
Then you can also run this specification from the command line with:
scala -cp ... run MySpec
So I would say that eventually this comes down to a matter of taste
when writing tests, whether you prefer the junit or specs syntax.
Eric.
