Fantastic Elliot.

It looks like Ian will have the async stuff in there for you pretty soon!

Wow Ian!

I'll take a look at this today!

Feel free to move into the AS2 build if you're still motivated.

Re: [Asunit-users] Proposal: An AIR implementation of the XML result printer for continuous integration

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

Hey Ian,

I've been working on a different open-source project that solves this
problem (and many, many others).

Essentially, I have wrapped the debug Flash Player behind a
line-command Ruby application that can be executed and controlled from
a Continuous Integration server. This tool set should automatically
create and manage all those pesky config files and the version that's
currently checked into trunk has a preliminary implementation that
wraps the Flex Debugger so that runtime exceptions are handled
properly too.

There's still a little distance left on this project, but it should
solve the problem you're considering and many related issues that
surround it.

http://www.projectsprouts.org

With all that said, yes. Apollo could be one way to get what you're
looking for. We've had some trouble with Local Connection in the past,
especially when that was our only real means of transmitting test
results.

If you're interested in pursuing this approach, I think Clint from
Esria built something similar last year, but I can't find anything in
a quick search or two.

Please keep us informed about your progress and we'll be sure to help
you spread the word!

Thanks,

Luke Bayes

[Asunit-users] Proposal: An AIR implementation of the XML result printer for continuous integration

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

Luke, Ali,

 

Firstly, thanks for all you've done so far with ASUnit.

On the subject of continuous integration I was wondering about creating
an AIR result printer that could write to an arbitrary file (rather than
the flash.log).

Given that you can pass arguments to AIR on the command line, this might
make it a bit more flexible for integrating into builds.

The linux version of AIR is still in alpha, so might not quite be there
yet, but still.

I'd use LocalConnection to communicate between the TestRunner and the
AIR app.

 

Thanks,

 

Ian

Re: [Asunit-users] [asunit-users] backport ofaddAsyncinframework/25 ?

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

Luke,

I think I've implemented something along the lines of what you were
after.
I've replaced the methodIsAsynchronous/setUpIsAsynchronous stuff with an
asyncQueue Array that gets populated by AsynchronousOperations.
Attached is a patch (for the trunk).

If that all works for you I can go ahead with the back-port (let's call
it 2.6??)

No MXP installer.  Just importing the library and running the tests in an
"asunit" layer - 

    // uncomment to run automated asunit tests
    //
    import com.mycompany.test.MyTestRunner;
    var testRunner=new MyTestRunner();

Yup.  I figured.  I was hoping that I could just use the asunit framework
rather than having to delve inside the lib to add asynchronous testing.  If
I have time to do this then hopefully I can contribute it back to the asunit
project.

It would be nice to move up to more a more recent AS version but the
application we are building needs to run on the MachBlue Mobile platform
[0], not Flash Lite.  I'm just glad that I don't have to fall back to
tellTarget() statements!

Re: [Asunit-users] [asunit-users] backport ofaddAsyncinframework/25 ?

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

Ok, have generated the test suites.

I'm using FDT and notice a few warnings/errors that I'd normally clean
up (to avoid noise).
They are things like missing return statements, missing semi-colons etc.

Are you ok if I go ahead and tidy these too (and include in my patch)?

Still wrong!  Not static.  This is the line of code:

    private var className:String = "com.mycompany.test.NavigatorTest";

No more advice from me until I get reacquainted with AS2.

Hey Elliot,

It's been a long time since I've worked with AS 2 or mobile, but
curiously, what device only supports the equivalent of Flash 6 AS2?
Isn't Flash Lite 1.5 basically Flash Player 4, FL2 Flash Player 7
(http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/productinfo/features/), and
FL3 Flash player 8
(http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/features/)?

I'm asking about Flash Player 6 vs. 7 because it affects which version
of AsUnit you should use.  For 6, you should use AsUnit 2.  For 7, you
should use AsUnit 2.5.  If you can use AsUnit 2.5, you should.  It's
much better.

Sorry for the suspicion; just trying to get a better understanding of
what's going on with your project.

One issue that does pop up is in the line:

Re: [Asunit-users] asunit2 on FP6 - Constructors are called in undefined context?

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

OK -

The AS2 build of AsUnit (not the AS 2.5) is really old. It has
actually been quite a few years since I've used it, and I only recall
using it in the context of Flash Authoring with the MXP installer. Is
this how you're doing it here, or are you using MTASC?

One of the main issues with this build is that we couldn't rely on
exceptions because ActionScript 2 (for FP 6) does not support them.
xUnit frameworks in other environments heavily rely on exception
handling to deal with assertion failure and unexpected situations.
What I'm trying to get at here, is that the 'back-port' from AS3 to
AS2.5 is going to be relatively straight-forward, but to go further
back to AS2, is probably not going to happen. It would make more sense
to simply re-implement that feature in the AS2 build if that's what
you need.

Another issue with this build, is that the test results are
transmitted to an output panel (Running SWF file) over local
connection. We chose to do it this way because in Flash Authoring 6,
we couldn't mess with (or add output to) the _root time line with any
amount of confidence. Basically, we needed to be able to execute our
test harness directly from our application FLA - which may or may not
have a bunch of other junk on the _root time line.

So, before running your harness, you'll want to launch the
AsUnitUI.swf found in version control at:
trunk/framework/as2/AsUnitUI.swf.

I'm curious about what you're doing that requires the Flash 6 player
at this point, are you sure you can't move up to Flash 7, I believe
Flash Lite works with the AsUnit25 branch.


Thanks,


Luke Bayes

Re: [Asunit-users] asunit2 on FP6 - Constructors are called in undefined context?

Oops.  Itchy trigger-finger.

[Asunit-users] asunit2 on FP6 - Constructors are called in undefined context?

[Elliot W. <ell...@fr...>]

I'm writing asunit tests for an application that needs to run on a device
that only supports the equivalent of AS2.0 Flash 6.

The tests run correctly but I get an error message [0] for each TestCase I
extend.  The classes *do* have a className defined [1] but, based on the
debugger, it looks like the constructors are being called without a context
- "this" is not defined so the className passed to setCurrentClassName() in
TestCase.run() is not defined.

Is anybody able to run asunit2 tests in FP6 without getting these warnings?

Other than this the tests run using asunit out-of-the-box.  I haven't looked
at adding asynchronous tests yet, but that's next.  Based on the one day of
list traffic that I've seen, that is not yet backported to asunit.

Thx,

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

Ok, I've checked out trunk/framework and trunk/framework-test and would
like to start by getting the asunit3 framework tests running (and
passing!)

 

Is the AsUnitTestRunner class in the package root
(framework/as3/asunit/) there as a template/example, or is that how I
should bootstrap the framework tests?

 

It makes reference to 'AllTests' - I wasn't sure if this was just a
placeholder/hint or if it's for asunit/framework/AllTests in the
framework-test tree.

Hey Ian,

We haven't made the time to do this yet either.

If you are interested in taking this on, we'd be happy to accept any
patches you create.

The AS3 version currently supports addAsync in both your test methods,
and the setUp method.

One issue that has come up for me, is that you can only call addAsync
once inside of a test method and I've run into a couple of use cases
where it would have been handy to chain those calls and halt execution
until each callback in the chain was called. 

Essentially, if addAsync managed a queue of pending methods, that would
be a great feature add.

With that said, a straight back port would also be appreciated!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Essentially, if addAsync managed a queue of pending methods, that would be a
great feature add.

With that said, a straight back port would also be appreciated!

Let me know if you have any questions.


Thanks,

Hi !

I did not find time to work on this, unfortunately :/
(so yes, my 2.5 test cases do not handle async calls :()

Hi Luke, Laurent,

 

Did either of you pursue this any further?

 

I'd be happy to help out with the port.

 

Thanks,

Re: [Asunit-users] [asunit-users] backport of addAsync in framework/25 ?

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

Hey Laurent,

No one has done this yet that I'm aware of.

The biggest challenge in implementing this feature was getting the
test cases themselves to execute asynchronously. We needed to build up
a queue of test cases and wait until the current test notified us of
it's completion before moving on to the next one.

One issue with the current incarnation (even in AS3) that's been
bothering me, is that we can only call addAsync one time in a method.
It would be much better if addAsync could be called 'n' times and
would pause execution until each of those handlers were triggered.

Another feature to note, is that we got support for addAsync into the
setUp method as well as regular test methods. This turned out to be
really helpful too.

Please let me know if you're interested in pursuing this and I'd be
glad to walk you through the sources and how things work in there. It
might actually make more sense to just take the AS3 build and
literally back-port it syntactically rather than trying to merge
features into the 2.5 branch.


Thanks!

[Asunit-users] [asunit-users] backport of addAsync in framework/25 ?

[Laurent P. <lau...@ba...>]

Hi !

I'm running asunit25 unit tests under an mtasc scenario, developing a flash
lite 2.x application (so AS3 is not available, even flash lite 3.0 is still
AS2).
I noticed that when my tests cases are using some sort of handler (some
"delegate function"), the handler is never fired, I believe this happens
because it is an asynchronous event.

I've seen the addAsync helper method, from
http://www.asserttrue.com/articles/2008/01/22/developing-visual-components-with-asunit,
and I believe this would help me, however, it is AS3 only, and because of
mtasc/flashlite, I have to use AS2.

Did anyone backport addAsync to the 25 framework ? I've tried to backport
it, but I don't fully understand the implementation.
Thanks !

Re: [Asunit-users] AsUnit as2

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

I'm afraid there isn't much in the way of info on that build these days.

A big part of that early build had to do with integrating with Flash
Authoring. We created a test output panel and some JSFL commands for class
and test case creation. I would recommend trying to install the MXP and see
if those features help you get going.

Otherwise, Ali should be getting back from vacation this weekend and he
might have some more info for you. He's definitly been into it more recently
than I have (working on Flash lite junk).

Overall, it should work similarly to the other builds, you may need to dig
into the source a little to figure it out.

[Asunit-users] AsUnit as2

[<pap...@ho...>]

Hello!

I' would like to use asunit(as2) to make unitary tests.I managed to make the as25 version  work 
thanks to tutorials found(as25 and as3) on the internet. Could someone explain me how to make and run tests
with the version as2. Thanks in advance.
