Unit Testing

How to Write Unit Tests

For opentaps 1.0, you would write a set of Junit tests in a class, then define it in an XML testdef file like this:

<test-suite suite-name="entitytests"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.ofbiz.org/dtds/test-suite.xsd">
    <test-case case-name="security-tests"><junit-test-suite class-name="com.opensourcestrategies.crmsfa.test.SecurityTests"/></test-case>
</test-suite>

You can define multiple tests per testdef xml file. Then, add the testdef file to your ofbiz-component.xml, like this:

   <test-suite loader="main" location="testdef/crmsfa_tests.xml"/>

Then, when you do

  $ ant run-tests

your tests will be run.

In opentaps 0.9, you would write your Junit tests class and add your it to the base/config/test-containers.xml file, in the "junit-container" at the bottom, like this:

    <container name="junit-container" class="org.ofbiz.base.container.JunitContainer">
        <property name="base-test" value="org.ofbiz.base.test.BaseUnitTests"/>
        <property name="entity-test" value="org.ofbiz.entity.test.EntityTestSuite"/>
        <property name="service-test" value="org.ofbiz.service.test.ServiceEngineTests"/>
        <property name="crm-security" value="com.opensourcestrategies.crmsfa.test.SecurityTests"/>  <!-- your unit tests -->
        <!--
        <property name="usps-test" value="org.ofbiz.shipment.thirdparty.usps.UspsServicesTests"/>
        <property name="jxunit-test" value="net.sourceforge.jxunit.JXTestCase"/>
        -->
    </container>

Then you would do

 $ ant run-tests

Your tests will run alongside the existing OFBIZ test suites.

IMPORTANT: Use a "test" delegator to point your tests to a separate database, and make sure it is defined in framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml is set to the right database.
