Re: [Asunit-users] AsUnitTestRunner.as missing from XUL UI windows installer

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

Hey Mark,

I really appreciate you bringing this up and I suspect you're not
alone with these feelings.

One of the things I really appreciate about working with Ali all these
years is that he tends to be a little more conservative than I am
about adopting new technologies or practices. I generally see
something shiny and just jump into it and find out later if it was a
good idea or not. This approach has obvious benefits and
disadvantages, but the disadvantages get amplified when you're
responsible for working with a large group of people....

When it comes to working with Git and specifically working with
Github, the workflow from a development, sharing, integration and all
around project management perspective is dramatically improved when
compared to SVN and especially when compared to Sourceforge - or even
Google code.

One great thing about Git though, is that it's not mutually exclusive
with SVN. I've been managing the Sprouts project
(http://projectsprouts.org) for a couple of years now with both SVN
and Git repos. The idea is that my daily work is done in Git, patches
are submitted using Git clone and pull requests, but users can always
pull the trunk from SVN if they're more comfortable there. I'm
thinking this might be a good approach for AsUnit, and I'd love to get
more feedback about what other folks might think.

Trevor,

I couldn't agree more about the benefits of Git in general, but I also
acknowledge that we have a significant number of users on SVN that
won't be able or willing to switch.

So the idea at this point is this:

AsUnit.org will actually be hosted on Github (as Github pages - so
that anyone can contribute to maintenance), mainline development and
patches will be managed via Git, but the source code will be available
from both Git and SVN.

Would something like that work for everyone?


Thanks,

Luke Bayes

Hey Alan,

I just got that patch checked into SVN and it'll be included in the
next release.

Thanks for the reminder!

And thanks also go to Jonathan for the simple solution!

Re: [Asunit-users] AsUnitTestRunner.as missing from XUL UI windows installer

[Trevor S. <tre...@gm...>]

I'll chime in here, only because I'm very happy with Git.  I switched over
from SVN last year.
Git involves a learning curve, but is well worth it.  It's become an
integral part of my development process now, rather than just an end-of-day
step (what subversion was).

I make dozens of commits per day, every time I get my app to compile and
behave as expected.  The commits take a second and involve no hit to a
remote server.  I can then make more changes to my app, and if things break,
rather than figure out why, I'll just roll back to my commit of a few
minutes before.
I create and merge branches all the time.
There's commands like "git stash" which you'll learn to love.

But that's just about git, in general, which you may use independent of
whether asunit moves to github.
Moving the asunit up to github would certainly make it easier for us to fork
it, should we so wish.  I don't know if that's a goal of the project.

Is there a good reason to move to git? Does a DVCS make ASUnit maintenance
simpler? For me, having to add git to my workflow just to keep ASUnit up to
date likely means I won't bother -- I don't pretend to speak for anyone
else, though.

Re: [Asunit-users] AsUnitTestRunner.as missing from XUL UI windows installer

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

Hey Tim,

Nice catch! That is definitely not deliberate.

To make matters worse, the source in SVN is pretty far out of date
with either of those releases. We've been meaning to package
everything up, but just haven't found the time, mainly because
Sourceforge makes it really annoying to push new releases, and
migrating to another host is even more of a time sync.

I have to confess that I've been packaging up builds for
http://projectsprouts.org, and hosting them over here:
http://code.google.com/p/projectsprouts/downloads/list

Keep meaning to at least get a link to that on the asunit.org site,
but again, just haven't made the time.

I need to check in with Ali about this, but If anyone's interested in
helping us migrate asunit.org to http://github.com, and move the
asunit.org site to Github pages, please let us know.

If anyone would prefer we didn't move over to Git, please speak up.

[Asunit-users] AsUnitTestRunner.as missing from XUL UI windows installer

[Tim G. <tim...@gm...>]

Hi,

A Question about the difference between the different downloads of AsUnit...

The framework only download
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108947&package_id=208528)
and the framework that gets installed by the XUL UI
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108947&package_id=168969)
are slightly different, I think. Unless I'm missing something.

There's a file in the framework download zip:
Framework\as25\AsUnitTestRunner.as

This file is not present in XUL UI installed version:
C:\Program Files\AsUnit\framework\as25\

Is this omission deliberate?

Thanks!

[Asunit-users] Regarding : getting ASUnit to work correctly in Flex

[Alan S. <nod...@gm...>]

Hi,
I've just joined the list and started working with AsUnit in Flex.
I noticed the exchange quoted below, messages from September.
I must say that it is great to have the FlexRunner class to inherit from;
however Jonathan Knapp's point is still well taken.  He has found a bug
and provided a fix.  The fact that his particular test case on AsUnit itself
is not the recommended usage does not invalidate its implication!
He has shown that the addedHandler() as written can easily be invoked before
the TestRunner itself has a stage reference (in addition to being invoked
again later).

So easily that the same thing happened to me ;)

-A




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just started working with ASUnit in Flex (so forgive me if this was
mentioned earlier) but I ran into a problem whenever "stage" was
referenced in TestRunner.as from the Subversion directory for AS3.

I added a check to see if the stage is null, and if so skip all of the
printer resizing setup functionality. It's probably not the best way
to handle it, but the output is traced fine and it seems to work.

My new addedHandler() call is:

protected function addedHandler(event:Event):void {
if(event.target === fPrinter) {
if(stage != null)
{
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
resizeHandler(new Event("resize"));
}
}
}

Hope this helps someone out.

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for the post!

Actually, we have a different base class for Flex applications.

If you're running a Flex application, you can create a new MXML
document that extends our asunit.textui.FlexRunner instead of the
basic TestRunner.

One of the great features of this test runner, is that it allows you
to call addChild in your test cases with EITHER IUIComponents, or just
regular Flash DisplayObjects.

Your test harness Flex application should usually look something like
the following:

------------------------->8--------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FlexRunner
xmlns="asunit.textui.*"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="runTests()"
>
<!-- Import Application Styles -->
<mx:Style source="FooProjectSkin.css" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import asunit.textui.TestRunner;

public function runTests():void {

// start(clazz:Class, methodName:String, showTrace:Boolean)
// NOTE: sending a particular class and method name will
// execute setUp(), the method and NOT tearDown.
// This allows you to get visual confirmation while developing
// visual entities
start(AllTests, null, TestRunner.SHOW_TRACE);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</FlexRunner>

-------------------------8<--------------------------


Good luck!


Thanks,


Luke Bayes

Re: [Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

[Robert P. <in...@ro...>]

I haven't tried it myself, but others are saying that loadBytes() is
synchronous. For example:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/display/Loader.html

(in comments)
----
Loader.loadBytes should be documented as synchronous. It completes (or
fails) loading before returning. So, unlike Loader.load(), there is no
need to listen for the "complete" event; you can just call loadBytes()
and then immediately refer to Loader.content, etc.

Re: [Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

My idea was to generate the proxy at runtime, so it would be possible to
subclass your DisplayObject subclass dynamically, overriding all the
public methods and replacing them with hooks. That way you could mock
both interfaces and concrete classes.

The conceptual blocker I have hit is that (as far as I understand) the
only way to load bytecode at runtime is to use Loader.loadBytes which is
asynchronous. I did try using a while loop (if you're only using the
mock in the context of testing tying up the thread isn't such an issue),
but I believe the Complete event will only be dispatched after the
current block has finished executing, so this doesn't work.

It wouldn't be very elegant, but if we could live with the mock
generation being asynchronous (which is a little easier to stomach with
my multiple asynchronous methods enhancement), then I might just go
ahead and try to implement.

Unless they ever introduce a threading model (or continuations) then
flash platform developers will always have to write async code anyway!

My 2c.

The problem of mocking is exacerbated when we start working with
DisplayObject classes. There is currently no way to add the Proxy
class to these object's inheritance chain - this means that with the
current implementation of the language, display objects cannot be
mocked - unless of course we figure out runtime bytecode
manipulation...

Re: [Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

I actually ported an early version of EasyMock to AS2 a couple of years
ago and started looking into doing the same for AS3 in the summer. The
dynamic property lookup mechanism works completely differently so I had
been looking to use something like As3Eval http://eval.hurlant.com/ to
generate the mock implementations at runtime. The idea was to use
reflection on the interface to stub up the methods (in the dynamically
generated class) and delegate calls to the mock-framework. Unfortunately
I didn't get very far, and as the majority of my day job still revolves
around AS2 I didn't have as much call to persevere. If only
flash.utils.Proxy was like java.reflect.Proxy!

Re: [Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

[Robert P. <in...@ro...>]

I recently looked at three Java mocking frameworks. I would rate them
in this order:

1. Mockito
2. EasyMock
3. JMock

Mockito has the best syntax and conceptual approach, in my opinion. It
lets you run your code on the mock first and then verify what happened
to it after the fact. So the mock is basically a proxy inherits from
your own class and acts just like it, but keeps a history of the
method calls. You can query the history however you like, without
having to define expectations up front.


> 2. Is there any Mock Library for as3, I tried mock-as3 but it isn't helping
> me in the above mentioned approach.

AS3 is tricky because, like Java, you have to manipulate bytes in
order to create classes and/or inheritance at runtime. The Java
mocking frameworks use cglib to generate code at runtime.

Some interesting links related to this:

Re: [Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

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

This does sound right to me -

More often than not, as I find myself getting further into mocking
object relationships, I find some flaw in my application design that -
when addressed - allows me to move away from the mocks, fakes and
stubs. That's not to say we never use these techniques, just that it's
unusual and often indicates a problem.

Thanks,

[Asunit-users] Mock Objects, how to ?

[mudit t. <mud...@gm...>]

Hi, I want to unit test a class say UtilClass, which is used by some other
class say MyClass.
So my approach is to mock MyClass and test the UtilClass.
Here is the flow.
- MyClass(mock) dispatches an event to UtilClass.
- UtilClass calls a method of MyClass(mock) to pass the result set.(this is
actually how the framework i am using works)

Few Queries:
1. Is there something wrong in this approach ? or is there some better way
to unit test MyClass ?
2. Is there any Mock Library for as3, I tried mock-as3 but it isn't helping
me in the above mentioned approach.

Re: [Asunit-users] Unit testing of XMLList

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

Hey Neha,

Thanks for posting your question!

In the future, please post your questions to the mailing list, this
way other people will get the benefit of the answers. It's fine this
time as I have cc'd the list with this message.


I imagine your test method could look something like the following:

public function testCreateButton():void {
	var xml:XML = <Button>
					<x>200</x>
					<y>210</y>
				  </Button>;
	var parser:Parser = new Parser();
	var result:* = parser.addButton(xml.children());
	asswertEquals('x', 200, result.width);
	asswertEquals('y', 210, result.width);
	// continue adding and verifying supported properties here...
}

Generally, when you have a long list of keyed values, it's easier (and
more flexible) to just forward those values directly onto the object
with something like:

var key:String = xmlList[i].name();
button[key] = xmlList[i];

You should get an exception if an unknown value is encountered, but
you could try...catch that to provide something more informative -
which is often helpful.


Good Luck,


Luke

[Asunit-users] Unit testing of XMLIST

[Dubey, N. <Neh...@li...>]

Hi

I need to perform unit testing of a function in  AS3.0 that takes in the XMLList as an input parameters and returns button object.
The code for this is mentioned below:
Can anyone help me out with the approach to test this using ASUnit

public function addButton(xmlList:XMLList):Button{
                                    button = new Button();
                                    for(var i:int = 0 ; i <xmlList.length(); i++)
                                    {
                                                if(xmlList[i].name() == "x")
                                                            button.x = xmlList[i];
                                                else if(xmlList[i].name() == "y")
                                                            button.y = xmlList[i];
                                                else if(xmlList[i].name() == "name")
                                                            button.name = xmlList[i];
                                                else if(xmlList[i].name() == "label")
                                                            button.label = xmlList[i];
                                                else if(xmlList[i].name() == "width")
                                                            button.width = xmlList[i];
                                                else if(xmlList[i].name() == "useHandCursor")
                                                {
                                                            button.useHandCursor = xmlList[i];
                                                }
                                    }
                                    buttonArray[buttonCounter++] = button;
                                    addChild(button);
                                    return button;

[Asunit-users] Ported assertEqualsFloat() back to AsUnit 2.5

I ported assertEqualsFloat() from AsUnit 3 back to 2.5. I also
corrected some docs regarding == vs. === that were out of date. I
tried attaching the patch file but here it is below as well.

Hey Robert,

Sorry for not getting back to you on this -

I'm not sure what is going on with the list, but I'll get this patch
into version control today.

Re: [Asunit-users] getting ASUnit to work correctly in Flex

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

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for the post!

Actually, we have a different base class for Flex applications.

If you're running a Flex application, you can create a new MXML
document that extends our asunit.textui.FlexRunner instead of the
basic TestRunner.

One of the great features of this test runner, is that it allows you
to call addChild in your test cases with EITHER IUIComponents, or just
regular Flash DisplayObjects.

Your test harness Flex application should usually look something like
the following:

------------------------->8--------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FlexRunner
	xmlns="asunit.textui.*"
	xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
	creationComplete="runTests()"
	>
	<!-- Import Application Styles -->
	<mx:Style source="FooProjectSkin.css" />
    <mx:Script>
    	<![CDATA[
    		import asunit.textui.TestRunner;

			public function runTests():void {

				// start(clazz:Class, methodName:String, showTrace:Boolean)
				// NOTE: sending a particular class and method name will
				// execute setUp(), the method and NOT tearDown.
				// This allows you to get visual confirmation while developing
				// visual entities
 				start(AllTests, null, TestRunner.SHOW_TRACE);
			}
    	]]>
    </mx:Script>
</FlexRunner>

-------------------------8<--------------------------


Good luck!

[Asunit-users] getting ASUnit to work correctly in Flex

[Jonathan K. <Jon...@co...>]

I just started working with ASUnit in Flex (so forgive me if this was  
mentioned earlier) but I ran into a problem whenever "stage" was  
referenced in TestRunner.as from the Subversion directory for AS3.

I added a check to see if the stage is null, and if so skip all of the  
printer resizing setup functionality.  It's probably not the best way  
to handle it, but the output is traced fine and it seems to work.

My new addedHandler() call is:

		protected function addedHandler(event:Event):void {
			if(event.target === fPrinter) {
				if(stage != null)
				{
					stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
					stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
					stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
					resizeHandler(new Event("resize"));
				}
			}
		}

Hope this helps someone out.
