I'm new to unit testing and just trying to get my feet wet. The actual code
under test would be a panel that should display some data. I guess I don't
really care to test wicket's dataview but whether or not my panel is
actually displaying the data. Should I mock the IDataProvider and verify
that certain methods are called?
I'm using Scala, but this is a rough translation of the panel.
public class AccountListPanel extends Panel {
private IDataProvider _provider;
public AccountListPanel(String id, IDataProvider provider) {
super(id);
_provider = provider;
add(new DataView("list", provider) {
public void populateItem(Item[Account] item) {
Account account = item.getModelObject();
item.add(new Label("name", account.getName().toString()));
}
}
}
}
