I'm unconvinced again. I cannot assert on an array that contains some NaNs:

SMA(2) of bad data expected:<,0,0,NaN,NaN,NaN> but was:<,0,0,NaN,NaN,NaN>

What do other people think?

[Asunit-users] assertIsNaN

[Darren C. <da...@dc...>]

I finally found time to get back to the project I want to unit test, and
hit a bump when testing for an expected NaN.

I was going to propose extending assertEquals to handle NaN as a special
case but convinced myself that examples like this make that a bad idea:
  assertEquals("should this pass when x==0?", x/1, x/2);

So I wrote assertIsNaN(); I was going to send a patch but it is so short
that I just included it below. It goes somewhere in Assert.as (only
tested on as2 branch).

If you want a proper patch let me know.

Darren



/**
* Asserts that assertion isNaN(); any valid number or any other
* type of object will fail the test.
*/
public static function assertIsNaN(msg:Object, assertion:Object):Void {
 if(arguments.length == 1) addTestResult("", "assertIsNaN", isNaN(msg));
 else addTestResult(String(msg), "assertIsNaN", isNaN(assertion));
}

Re: [Asunit-users] Testing Interfaces

[Peter H. <pet...@gm...>]

Why are you testing interfaces?
Perhaps you can identify some kind of value that I can't see?

Chris,
Thanks so much for you help and insight on how to get this working.

Re: [Asunit-users] XUL UI on OS X

[Chris A. <mrc...@gm...>]

Hey Sam,

Okay, so in my current structure I have:

- classes
   - asunit/all of their stuff...
   - org/
     - osflash/
       - fling/
          - tests/
             - TestMovieAsset.as
          - assets/
             - MovieAsset.as
- build/
  - alltests,swf

That's simplified of course. ;-)

So, yeah, if you need to test your class, just use import to get it to
see your class, then use it as you see fit in your TestCase.

Here is an excerpt from my TestMovieAsset class:

mport asunit.framework.TestCase;
import org.osflash.fling.util.assets.MovieAsset;
import com.dynamicflash.utils.Delegate;
import org.osflash.fling.util.assets.AssetLoader;
/**
 * @author Chris Allen mrc...@gm...
 */
class org.osflash.fling.tests.TestMovieAsset extends TestCase
{

=09private var className:String =3D "org.osflash.fling.tests.TestMovieAsset=
";
=09
=09private var asset:MovieAsset;
etc...

I hope that helps.

Re: [Asunit-users] XUL UI on OS X

[Sam <sa...@th...>]

Just one more question.
How do you structure you directories?
I'm having a problem figuring out how to import the classes I want to  
test.

Here's my structure:

flash/
	assets/
		libraries/
			main/
	classes/
		com/
			LuminicBox/
			three60/
				ClassIWantToTest.as
				test/
					asunit/
					build.properties
					build.xml
					MyTestCase.as
					MyTestRunner.as

How do I import ClassIWantToTest.as into MyTestCase.as?
Can you back out of the current directory with import?

Sam,

I know exactly how you feel. It took me a while to figure this out myself.

I posted a little description on my blog about how I've set it up
using nothing but ActionScript2, MTASC and AS2Ant. You can see that
here: http://blog.ff9900.org/?p=3D5

I hope it helps.

Re: [Asunit-users] XUL UI on OS X

[Jan H. <za...@ar...>]

Hi Sam,

I've been following this thread and remember that I struggled myself  
quite
a bit when trying to get unit testing to work under OSX....
I don't have too much time currently,  but here's at least a short
description how to use Asunit with mtasc under OSX:


1. For displaying the results of the testcases / Sys.println  
statements use the
'AsUnit Ui.swf' which can be found in the  AsUnit-src.zip (or if you  
installed Asunit,
it's under
'$HOME/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/ 
Configuration/WindowSWF/AsUnit Ui.swf'
)

Fire this up in a browser window and click the 'Show Sys.println' in  
the lower
left corner, then you'll see the output of any Sys.println statements  
used in
your code. (Make sure Sys.as from the Asunit package is in your  
classpath)


2. Create a Main class for your unit tests like this one:
--------------- SNIP -----------------------------------
class MainUnitTests {

   public static function runUnitTests():Void {

       var st:SelectedTests = new SelectedTests();

   }
}
---------------- SNAP ---------------------------------


3. Create SelectedTests classes for EACH of your packages
Example source folder: src
Example package structure: org

SelectedTests class in ./src:
--------------- SNIP -----------------------------------
import com.asunit.framework.*;

class SelectedTests extends TestSuite {
	private var className:String = "SelectedTests";

	public function SelectedTests() {
		super();
		addTest(new org.SelectedTests());
		}
}

---------------- SNAP ---------------------------------


SelectedTests class in ./src/org:
--------------- SNIP -----------------------------------
import com.asunit.framework.*;

class org.SelectedTests extends TestSuite {
	private var className:String = "org.SelectedTests";

	public function SelectedTests() {
		super();
		addTest(new org.MyClassOneTest());
		//addTest(new org.MyClassTwoTest());
	}
}
---------------- SNAP ---------------------------------

where MyClassOneTest and MyClassTwoTest are the Asunit Test Classes
containing the unit tests for your classes.


4. In your .swf have the following ActionScript code on a frame AFTER  
the
frame where your classes get imported:

--------------- SNIP -----------------------------------
import MainUnitTests;

MainUnitTests.runUnitTests();
---------------- SNAP ---------------------------------

5. Now compile using mtasc:

--------------- SNIP -----------------------------------
/usr/local/bin/mtasc -strict -keep -frame 6 -cp /path/to/your/ 
classes  -swf to/your/swfFile.swf MainUnitTests
---------------- SNAP ---------------------------------

This assumes that your classes get imported at frame 6 of your .swf,  
you need to set this to the frame
where your classes should get imported (after the preloader code).


6. Run your .swf and see the results + Sys.println output in 'AsUnit  
UI.swf'

7. By commenting / uncommenting the statements in SelectedTests you  
can quickly exclude / include
the TestClasses you want to get executed. Just recompile and run,  
this will execute the tests.


Hope this helps you to get started.....
I switched from Flash 8 to Eclipse + FDT (http:// 
fdt.powerflasher.com/) which works really well for me.

Best regards,

Jan Harmsen

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your input, I have exhausted trying to figure out the XUL  
stuff.
I would be interested in knowing the process you use when making the  
test cases by hand. Not specifics on unit testing or anything like  
that, but after you've built the test how do you run them. The  
documentation on using just the framework seems, well, non-existant.
I am using textmate and the mtasc compiler. Actually I'm using a  
development process I found here:
http://www.unfitforprint.com/articles/2006/01/02/howto-develop-flash- 
on-mac-osx-with-rake-mtasc-swfmill-and-textmate
and I'd love to add testing to the process.

Thanks much, any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

Re: [Asunit-users] XUL UI on OS X

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

I'm guessing that .pkg is some kind of mac zip file. Is there a way to
further "unpack" it so that you have a series of directories?

If so, then there should be a xulrunner folder from our distribution that
goes inside of your installed XulRunner location...

Please let me know if that doesn't work for you as some folks have offered
to get more complete mac installer going and this would probably be a good
time to get that published.

[Chris A. <mrc...@gm...>]

Hey Sam,

I tried messing around with this at one point and noticed that the
structure of an XUL application on OSX is different than on Windows.
It also requires that you make an document bundle, in order to double
click on it. Here is some information that might be useful:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:XUL_Application_Packaging. There is also a
tremendous amount of documentation on the subject here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xul/

I was never able to get it to work on a Mac though, so if you manage
to figure it out, please let us know. I've been pretty happy just
making my test cases by hand, but would love to see what this XUL app
does.

Good luck.

[Asunit-users] XUL UI on OS X

[Sam L. <sa...@th...>]

Hello,
I've been trying to set up XUL UI on OS X with no luck.

The MAC-README says:
1) Download the mac release of xulrunner from: 
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner
2) Unpack dmg archive from here into a new folder named "xulrunner", so 
that this directory looks like:

I don't understand #2.
When I unpack the dmg the result is xulrunner-1.9a1.en-US.mac.pkg.
Which will install xulrunner in /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/

Is number 2 saying that I should put xulrunner-1.9a1.en-US.mac.pkg in a 
folder named xulrunner?

Thanks for any help

This is a great question!

The single best source that I've found is the book, "Test Driven Developmen=
t

This book really cleared up a lot of questions for Ali and I.

I also got a lot of inspiration from the Gang of Four Design Patterns book =

this book helped me see the underlying (testable) object structures that ar=

[Asunit-users] a true beginner...

[Woodage, A. <ali...@de...>]

Hi,

=20

This is probably as newbie as they come......I'm being strongly
encouraged to implement Unit Testing for the Flash development work we
do. I've just come across AsUnit Ui and from what I can see it looks
like it is an ideal tool that we could use.  But I've only got a vague
understanding of Unit Testing is, and I've got no real idea how to
implement it, or how to use/implement AsUnit Ui. =20

=20

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Is anyone interested in
sharing their experiences in how they started Unit testing? =20

=20

Thanks

[Asunit-users] assertNull() and assertNotNull() / undefined == null but not undefined === null

[Chris A. <mrc...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was just running some tests with ASUnit and found that the
assertNull() method wasn't returning what I expected. For example,
using the 2.5 version of ASUnit the following test will fail:

       public function testJunk():Void
=09{
=09=09assertNull(undefined);=09
=09}

After taking a look at the Assert class I noticed that you are using
strict comparisons (=3D=3D=3D), thus making undefined and null not the same
thing. Then I noticed that you indeed have the assertUndefined()
method as well. Well, I guess this is a case where someone might
actually care to know exactly if it's one or the other. In most cases
I would venture that it doesn't really matter all that much which one
it is. For example in statements like:

if (myObject) { doSomthing() }

it doesn't make a difference whether it's null or undefined. We simply
care about the value, not the type.

So, I propose that you add another assert to the Assert class to
address this. Perhaps assertNullValue() and assertNotNullValue().

Or, make the two assertions less strict.

I was just chatting with Keith Peters about this and we were wondering
how this all pans out in ActionScript 3. Well, it turns out if you try
the trace(undefined =3D=3D null); it actually comes up with a compiler
warning and finally evaluates to true. Here's the warning:

"Variables of type Null can not be undefined. undefined will be type
coerced to Null before comparison."

So this seems to mean that declared variables will never be undefined,
but possibly null. And the compiler likes to enforce that it never
happens with these nice warnings.

Please let me know your thoughts on this and I will currently add the
assertNullValue() and assertNotNullValue() to my version of ASUnit 2.5
for now.

Anyway, thanks for creating ASUnit; it's certainly been a really helpful to=
ol.

-Chris
