Pipeline testing

[Manicardi Roberto]

Hi to all! I’m new to cocoon and I’m trying to find the ways to do unit testing on my cocoon project. I found how to test a single component (generator,matcher,action and selector) with SitemapComponentTestCase. I also found how to test the webapp with HtmlUnitTestCase. I’m now trying to find how to test a single pipeline without using HtmlUnit. The requirement to use HtmlUnit is to have a webapp up and running in an application/servlet container. I would like to test a pipeline without doing any deploy of the webapp. What  I need is a testing framework that create a mock cocoon context in which I can run my pipeline, so if I have this sample sitemap:     <map:sitemap xmlns:map="http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0" xmlns:xmlvs="http://pro-netics.com/xmlvs/1.0">   <map:pipelines>     <map:pipeline>               <map:match pattern="file/**”>                                                …             </map:match>                               </map:pipeline>   </map:pipelines> </map:sitemap>     I would like to write a unit test like this:   public class SamplePipelineTest extends MockCocoonContextTestSuite{                         private expectedFilePipelineOutput = “”;               public void setUp(){                         // set up mock cocoon context                         …             }                         public void testFilePipeline(){                                     String cocoonUrl=”cocoon:/file/xxx”;                         Parameters parameters = ….                         cocoonContest.loadUrl(cocoonURL,parameters,….);                         assertCocoonPipelineOutput(expectedFilePipelineOutput);               }   }     My question is: does anybody knows if it’s possible and how to do this kind of test?     Thank you and bye!
