[Asunit-users] Asynchronous Test Methods, Better Flex Support and Spam on this list...

[Luke B. <lb...@gm...>]

Hey Folks,

Seems like it's been a long while since we last published anything
around here...

There has been quite a lot of activity in SVN over the past few weeks
and I expect quite a bit more over the next two. I'm hoping to drop a
new release of the 3.0 framework code shortly (Before MAX). We could
really use some help checking out stability at this point, so if you
get a chance, please pull the latest sources out of SVN and check out
the latests posts at:

http://asserttrue.com/articles/tag/asunit

These latest builds support Asynchronous test methods (AS 3 only - for
now), Much better support for complex Flex component instantiation,
and I finally spent some time cleaning up the sourceforge mailman
program, so we should see less spam (hopefully).

Anyhoo - please let us know via this list if you have any questions or comments.


Thanks,

[Asunit-users] Asynchronous Test Methods in AsUnit?!

[Luke B. <lb...@gm...>]

Hey Folks,

Thanks to some gentle prodding from the Eyefodder "Deathmatch" and more than
a small handful of requests, We finally got asynchronous test methods
working in AsUnit!

We have also introduced much more robust support for Flex 2 applications.

The latest build of AsUnit 3.x (in Subversion only) has these features but
we need your help to test them out.

Please pull down the latest sources from sourceforge svn by opening a
terminal and performing the following steps:
(you must have subversion client installed and available in your path)

mkdir asunit
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asunit/trunk/framework/as3 .

(the trailing period will put the files into the current directory without
creating another subdirectory)



Here is an example of an asynchronous test method:

// This is an asynchronous test method
public function testAsyncFeature():void {
    // create a new object that dispatches events...
    var dispatcher:IEventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
    // get a TestCase async event handler reference
    // the 2nd arg is an optional timeout in ms. (default=1000ms)
    var handler:Function = addAsync(changeHandler, 2000);
    // subscribe to your event dispatcher using the returned handler
    dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handler);
    // cause the event to be dispatched.
    // either immediately:
    //dispatcher.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE));
    // or in the future < your assigned timeout
    setTimeout(dispatcher.dispatchEvent, 200, new Event(Event.CHANGE));
}

protected function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
    // perform assertions in your handler
    assertEquals(Event.CHANGE, event.type);
}


That should be enough to get you going with Asynchronous test methods!


Please let us know on this list if you have any problems.


Thanks,

Re: [Asunit-users] AsUnit 3.x

[Luke B. <lb...@gm...>]

Hey Keative,

You should be able to download the framework.zip file from
http://asunit.org/#getStarted

Just make sure asunit/framework/as3 is in your fla classpath.

We haven't done any testing with Flash Authoring for that release yet, but
you should be able to point Flash Authoring at a base class for the entire
movie. This should be a class that extends TestRunner and calls it's
start(SomeTestCase) from it's constructor or onLoad handler.

Please let me know if this doesn't work for you, or if you have other
questions.

Thanks,


Luke

[Asunit-users] AsUnit 3.x

[Keative <ke...@gm...>]

Hi Luke,

May I know where I can download updated AsUnit 3.x as you mentioned?
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=614609

Currently, I am using Flash Pro 9 AS 3 Preview:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/

I wanna know how I can execute the unit test by creating a .fla instead of
using Flex Builder.

Thanks,

Breaking markeet news report - T QWW. P K 

Lookup: TQ WW. P K

CCompany Name: Tyalor Auqaponics Wordlwide, Inc.

Recently tradiing for:  0.40

6 Week Target: 1.25

6 Month Target:  4.97

Rating:  Immediate bu y

Expected: Steadily climb for the top

Our featured ccompany TQW W is a “Big Fish” in what so far has been a little pond. But all of that is going to change when Wall Street sees the growth they’re experiencing.

Whether you love fish, or vegetables, or don’t care for either one, TQ WW needs to be on your plate! Succeess has already happened for Tailor Made Fish Farms, the original companyy behind TQ WW, as you can see by the stories on this page. Do your research, and find out why we think TQ WW could increase as much as 400% or more in the next few weeks.

If you’ve been fishing for a great opportunity, OT CPK: TQ WW could be the best deal you’ve ever hooked!

Tialor Auqaponics Worldiwde, Inc. (OTCP K: T QWW) has developed an easy to operate, land-based modular fish production system that is both sustainable and environmentally responsible. Production of ‘year-round’ premium quality fish and vegetables is achieved through compact and 
controlled production areas using much less water than conventional methods 
resulting in two crops from a single water uptake.

This efficient combination of T QWW's fish & vegetable production has 
two major advantages: 

We see the possibility of a 250% rise in the very near future, and more 
may come after word spreads. Go with the flow – and bu y TQW W when the “tide” is low, then just wait for it to come in! 

Huge moneey from a coompany that satisfies ecological needs – there’s something you don’t see very often. T QWW is primed for huge international growth in the very near future, and as one of the most well-known players in the aquaponics field, TQW W will bring its inddustry to new countries (and new inveestors!). 

It seems like making moneyy with Aqupaonics is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel…and now you can ride the wave with TQ WW!

Don’t delay – do your research on TQ WW and contact your bbroker immmediately!

The time to get in on this great fish story is now! 

Taiolr Aquapnoics Worldwdie, unlike many of its competitors, already succeessfully operates a coommercial scale food production system. 

The upside for Aquaponics is uncharted, but huge revenues are already 
being derived from a Taailor Aquaaponics combined Fish Farming/Vegetable Farming venture in Australia. The research shows us that this is a stoock we want to acquire – and acquire a great deal of – before more news makes it across the Pacific. 

Remember, TQ WW is on ttrack for iincreases of 250%, 400% or more, but not many people know about it yet. That’s why you need to do your research and make your p l a y today! 

Any of the above statements with respect to the future predications or 
goals and event s may be seen as only forward looking and nothing else. 
All informa tion inside this emai l pertaining to any sort of fiinancial advice need to be understood as infor mation and not advice. None of the inf ormation above can be constructed as any sort of finann cial a dvice. This is a paiid aadvertisement.

Hey Paul,

We don't have an official beta 3 port, but I think that AsUnit for

you tried AsUnit with beta 3?  If so, have you had trouble?

Unfortunately no. I haven't had a lot of time to devote to it either.
My thoughts were to try wrapping it in something like Screenweaver to
keep hold of the process. Unfortunately, there's no Mac version of
that yet, so not a good option yet.

The other approach is to simply let the flash player process end and
keep the socket server up and running. Then have the test case trigger
the complete event, send that to the socket server, then it can finish
the rest of the Ant task. This should work, but seems like a lot to
manage.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

Yeah, Mine would have the same exact problem. We need a way to trigger
the complete
event manually. Then we would be able to do this properly. I will take
a look at an approach for this soon, as I will also need this
behaivior at some point, once I have figured out how to keep the

Re: [Asunit-users] asyncronous individual test, *not* asynch setup?

[Paul B. <eye...@gm...>]

Hi Chris,
 I'll take a look at this and see how you've gone about it... I'm
actually in the middle of comparing flexunit & ASUnit to see how they
compare - I have to admit I really like that flexunit has this
functionality already availible. The thing is , I also really like the
lightweightness of asunit, and that it is decoupled from the flex
framework (and the more enthusiastic community)

Even though I found I could assert outside of a test (ie in a
callback), the problem is that my testRunner needs to know when my
test suite has completed running, and this 'complete' gets triggered
early as the following trace shows (testrunneroutput gets printed when
all tests have completed, but *after* this, we get an assert Failing
that is triggered by my asynchronous call:

Re: [Asunit-users] asyncronous individual test, *not* asynch setup?

[Luke B. <lb...@gm...>]

Don't forget that there's a big difference between asynchronous and
event-driven.

The synchronous test runner should support testing event-driven
functionality. Occasionally, we have to build a mock object that subclasses
the "class under test" and exposes the event triggering features as a
test-only interface. I have often found that when I'm doing this, what I am
actually testing is the EventDispatcher, not the features that I'm really
interested in. But it does make sense in some cases. Usually, I will just
subscribe to the event I'm interested in, change the state of the object in
the test method, and call "fail()" in my event handler if the state is not
expected. This should unwind properly to the output.

Writing multiple test methods that work asynchronously is quite a bit more
complicated with AsUnit3 because we built it over JUnit which uses
exceptions to manage test status. Because of this, once we're executing a
test method, we need to unwind the same thread in order to get valid
results.

I haven't checked out the stuff chris and others have posted, but I hope
that helps.


Thanks,

Wouldn't it be possible to modify the testcase framework to execute

Re: [Asunit-users] getCurrentMethod() returns null on startTest

[Luke B. <lb...@gm...>]

Hey Paul,

I think you are correct. I'm not looking at the code either, but I do
remember at one point the currentMethod property was returning outdated
information for asynchronous test failures, so we moved it. I'm not at all
confident that it has to be where it is, but if it moves, please make sure
asynchronous tests still return valid results.


Thanks,

Overriding run() means that he would have to have one TestCase per
test. This is not a great option for all cases.We are doing similar
things with the AssetLoader classes in the Fling project. Feel free to
take a look at the test package there to get an idea of what we are
doing:
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/fling/DEV_Source/classes/org/osflash/fling/tests/

In addition, keep in mind that you can still do assertions outside of
a testMethod() and you don't have to override run either. Take a look
at AssetLoaderTest.as for an example of this. This is more along the
lines of what you were asking I believe.

I hope this helps a little.

Re: [Asunit-users] asyncronous individual test, *not* asynch setup?

[John M. H. <ma...@ni...>]

I've just been: 

1. running all the async calls, 
2. setting flags as to how they function as they return, 
3. waiting until all sync calls have completed one way or another, 
4. calling super.run(), 
5. and then testing the flags in my test methods.

Other than making a new TestCase for each async call, this seems to be the only way to go, right? You don't get the benefits of setUp() and tearDown() between test methods this way, but, eh, whatever.

Aha, yeah, that's the same problem I had.

Have you tried adding a listener in your test, to listen for that
event, then trigger the run function?

Re: [Asunit-users] asyncronous individual test, *not* asynch setup?

[Paul B. <eye...@gm...>]

Hi matey  - long time no chat...

I use async tests for testing method calls that you expect to trigger
an event at some time in the future.So lets say for example that I
have a class that takes some xml, does some shizzle with it and
broadcasts an event when its done.

I would use standard overriding of run to load the xml - so far so
good, but testing that this class dispatches an event when
parseMyStuff gets called is a testMethod specific async case. there
may be another test method within the same testCase that sends its
result immediately, and I certainly wouldnt want to call parseMyStuff
in the setup (as its specific to just one test)

make sense, or am i just rambling?

Hi Paul!

Why can't you override run? Where does the result come from?

Cheers,

[Asunit-users] asyncronous individual test, *not* asynch setup?

[Paul B. <eye...@gm...>]

Hello,
 me again - I have another situation, that Im not sure if anyone has
come across / solved?

I need to be able to run a test whose result is asynchronous. This is
not necessarily the same as an asynchronous setup, so I dont really
want to be overriding run (which is what i normally do with an async
test...)

has anyone done this, got a strategy for doing this in ASUnit (3)?

[Asunit-users] getCurrentMethod() returns null on startTest

[Paul B. <eye...@gm...>]

Hi guys,
 unless I read how your code works, when you have a testListener (eg a
resultPrinter), the following methods get called on it:

startTest
 --addError
 --addFailure
endTest

the problem I have found is that the test's currentMethod property
(that is externally accessed via getCurrentMethod()) returns null in
startTest, as it is only set during (I think) runBare...

Im writing this from memory (not at my work machine right now), but is
this correct?

thx

Re: [Asunit-users] getting started with ASUnit3 & Flex

[Paul B. <eye...@gm...>]

Like the other Paul, and johannes, I got it to work with a bit of cleaning...

I'm not using your runner / printer, but Im actually looking at using
the same runner / printer I built for flexunit (the one that prints
out xml formatted stuff for my cruisecontrol thing) for non-visual
stuff, and *hopefully* using the flexunit GUI for visual feedback.

I'm basically trying to get a setup whereby it doesnt matter which
framework you use, you still have the same feedback / level of
detail...

Re: [Asunit-users] getting started with ASUnit3 & Flex

[Johannes N. <joh...@gm...>]

i did this in  my templates for as3, and also altered the code to make it
work properly. my display is still fubar, but i am checking it onto our
public svn today (not the asunit one).

Re: [Asunit-users] getting started with ASUnit3 & Flex

[Paul S. <pa...@fl...>]

Hey Ali,

I have tried and am currently running the framework w/ beta 3. I did 
have to change a few things to get it to work. Pretty minor stuff... 
change util to utils, remove delete calls, etc. Was curious if this had 
already been done and was just not released yet. Sounds like it hasn't.

best,

Paul
