Re: [Asunit-users] Unit tests with As3 on Windows

[Christian G. <ml...@nu...>]

Since the thread was pretty old and embed code present on my files, I
didn't think it was necessary, but actually now is compiling :)

My tests are failing though ;)

I presume the issue is sorted then.


Thanks a lot, chr

Christian,

I found this buried in that thread:

After Lukes signature line on that message in the thread is the fix for the
problem (patched .as file).

Have you tried getting ASUnit from the Subversion repository and building
that?

Re: [Asunit-users] Unit tests with As3 on Windows

[Robert S. <rob...@gm...>]

Could you supply one of the tests that is giving you grief?  I can't
reproduce the problem on my end unless I have your test class.  This sounds
like a compile time error not a runtime error.  How are you compiling your
tests?  With MXMLC? By hand? With Ant or NAnt?

It also sounds like you are trying to use Flex Components, this may be part
of the cause of your problem.  There is a lot of bootstrapping that goes on
with Flex Components.  Which makes me wonder, is the compiler error coming
from the class under test or the test suite?

Re: [Asunit-users] Unit tests with As3 on Windows

[Christian G. <ml...@nu...>]

Hi Robert, I'm refering to this thread:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=IJEOJMKCLCEKDIBJEMGHEEGPENAA.info%40robertpenner.com

I just looked for that error in the mailing list archive.

My problem is on running the tests, not creating them. At the moment
I'm creating them kind of manually thus I'm not using XUL UI to run
them (instead I'm compiling AsUnitTestRunner.as). Should I use a
different procedure?

I get compile error "Access of possibly undefined property
topLevelSystemManagers through a reference with static type Class."
and in fact that property is missing in Flex SWCs.

Where is the trick?


Thanks, chr

When you say ASUnit are you talking about the XUL UI?.  I am running Windows
Vista, and I have not succesfully gotten the XUL UI to launch.  I think
there may be some incompatibility issues there.  I can however write,
compile, and run ASUnit tests successfully with FlashDevelop and the Flash
Debug Player: http://geekswithblogs.net/rstackhouse/.

I am afraid I am not familiar with the
"SystemManager.topLevelSystemManagersissue".  Do you have an error
message or a link to where someone else has
documented this problem?

[Asunit-users] Unit tests with As3 on Windows

[Christian G. <ml...@nu...>]

Hi guys, yesterday I spent almost the whole, working, day trying to
make it work. I started with Sprouts but then I found out that is not
really Windows compatible and I couldn't make it work (the fork()
issue). So I went straight to ASUnit to came across the
SystemManager.topLevelSystemManagers issue.
Is there a way, official or not, to make asunit working on Windows with As3?

Thanks for any tips, chr

Re: [Asunit-users] Documentation for ASUnit

[Robert S. <rob...@gm...>]

As with a good many open source projects, you are probably better off just
going through the tests for ASUnit to see how it works than asking for
documentation (open source project documentation is often horribly out of
date).  I've put down some articles on its usage on my blog
http://geekswithblogs.net/rstackhouse.  There is another tutorial at
http://www.flashcodersny.org/wordpress/?p=103, but all the code is in AS2
although I believe the logic is much the same.

Alternatively, you may want to take a look at Sprouts:

[Asunit-users] Documentation for ASUnit

Hello,

I would like to give ASUnit a test drive. I've installed the MXP and am 
now looking for the documentation which I cannot seem to find after about
1 hour of googling for it.

Could someone give me a URL for the docs?

This URL: 
http://www.collcoll.com/content/uploads/Unit-Testing-with-ASUNIT.pdf

Seems to be broken. Perhaps someone could email a copy of the pdf to me 
sparky AT nonstarvingartists.com ? or point me to a working url?


cheers

Re: [Asunit-users] Moxie example project structure w/AsUnit?

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

Hey Mark,

As usual, the answer is: It depends.

With Flex, you can create modular projects or singular projects.

We have found that using Flex Modules introduces some pretty significant
complexities and when doing this, we choose to create an entirely
independent test project that does not take advantage of runtime module
loading.

When building a Flex project that does not take advantage of Modules, we
usually just create a different application root file and add a test package
to the class path. This test package usually mirrors our main source path
but contains only test and mock classes.

You can see examples of this latter project structure by running project
sprouts (http://code.google.com/p/projectsprouts) or by downloading the mxml
project template (
http://projectsprouts.googlecode.com/svn/branches/release/sprouts/template/mxml-template.zip)
and perusing it yourself.

*Note: This template is intended to be parsed by sprouts before execution,
so file names may be strange, but you can at least see the project
structure.

I hope that helps.


Thanks,

[Asunit-users] Moxie example project structure w/AsUnit?

[Mark H. <ma...@ni...>]

It's been a while since I had time to do some AS3 projects, and I'm writing
a few utility classes to get back up to speed. However, since FlexBuilder
doesn't exactly hold your hand when starting a project, I'm getting
confused.

I want to make a project I'll be using as an external library for my future
projects. I want to thoroughly unit test it with AsUnit. What is the
recommended project structure for this? (One library project, one project
for tests? One project with a src folder and a tests folder? What kind of
project? Something else?)

Does anyone know of a zip of an example of the simplest possible AS3,
AsUnit-tested project somewhere? It's just been too long and I don't feel
like wasting half a day trying to get this working -- if only I could look
at someone else's setup! It would be great to just change the name of a
working project and move my files into it, and just WORK.

That's the plan then, because I definitely need flash 6 compatibility
(that's all we have on our embedded device).  As soon as I have an
XMLSocket-based runner, I'll send it to the list so people can try to
knock holes in it before you check it in.

Re: [Asunit-users] as2 + mtasc + flash 6?

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

Hey Ryan,

There are some problems with an XML socket implementation. The Flash Player
cannot open a socket server, just a client. So two running SWF files can't
communicate directly with each other using this channel.

The good news is that you should be able to write a custom 'Runner' that
collects and transmits test output in whatever way is appropriate. Any new
runners are certainly welcome and will be added to the distribution. It's
been a long time since I looked at the as2 branch and I can't really speak
to it's flexibility in this way. If you need to refactor some of the
underlying framework in order to support adding a new socket based runner, I
would most certainly support making that change. As long as the existing
stuff continues to work as is, and as long as you're sticking to Flash
Player 6 compatibility (e.g. No try...catch).


Thanks Ryan!

I want to test performance using AsUnit on the embedded device itself.
That way I can make sure our implementation runs fast enough on our
embedded flash player.  Why not just output using XMLSocket?  That way:
   1. You could write a display app for the tests in any language.
   2. The display app could run on a remote host.

If I add a patch to as2 to do this, is it something that you would
consider rolling into the main code base?

Re: [Asunit-users] as2 + mtasc + flash 6?

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

Hey Ryan,

That's a great question! Unfortunately, the answer is no.

We were able to run the unit tests in the desktop environment and then have
a reasonable amount of confidence that it would run on the device. The good
news is that adobe now lets you download legacy players which should help in
the cause:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266

It might not be precisely the same as your mobile environment, but it should
prove close enough to get the job done. There were some folks on the mobile
team at Macromedia that were using AsUnit and got some output going on the
devices, but they never contributed back to the project for some reason.
(It's never too late guys!)

Let us know how it goes.

You mentioned in a blog entry[1] that as2 was written with flash 6 for
embedded(pda) development in mind.  How did you run the unit tests on
the embedded device using LocalConnection?  Did you run the output-ui
on the device also?

Re: [Asunit-users] as2 + mtasc + flash 6?

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

I believe it will!

If you tell mtasc that you're compiling to flash player 6, it should
complain if it encounters invalid code.

One thing about that build though, is that you'll need to run the output ui
swf along side your running test harness. The older builds use local
connection to show test results because we weren't able to confidently
clobber anything on _root back then.

Will as2 work with mtasc compiled for flash 6?  I'm doing embedded
development.  That's why I can't move to as25.

Thanks for the heads up Nathan.  I think we canceled Basecamp when we 
started thinking about switching over to Google Code for project 
hosting.  I'll get together with Luke and figure out where the project 
timeline is supposed to live and get it there.

Thanks again!

Thanks Nathan,

I badly need to update the asunit site and pull those links.

There is also another link to an article that I've been lagging on getting
posted.

I'll get that stuff taken care of this weekend.


Thanks!
