[Asunit-users] how do I set up AsUnit to show my tests in the Local Output panel?

[Alias <ali...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I've been setting up my project's test suites to run with FDT and MTASC, an=
d
it's a really nice, tightly integrated workflow.

However - what I'd really like to do would be to set up the Local Output
console (which I only know about because I accidentally ran ASUnit's own
tests) to show my test results - this would mean I only need to have one sw=
f
open in Eclipse - my main swf bult from MTASC.

Is it possible to get this set up so that I don't have to compile in the
flash IDE to see my test results?

Even better would be ASUnit/FDT integration, so that it could display the
test results and allow you to jump directly to the testcase of a failed tes=
t
- but I guess that's a request for the FDT guys :)

Anyway - to recap - I want to create a testcase class which will launch the
AsUnit local output panel, or if anyone has a better way of integrating
ASUnit into Eclipse/FDT I'd love to hear about it,

Thanks in advance,
Alias

Hi guys,

Answering my own question:

I managed to get it working, by taking the following steps:
/**
* @author Alias
*/
import AllTests;
import com.asunit.controls.LocalOutputPanel;
class RunTests {
public static function main() : Void {

//set up stage to view correctly in FDT swf viewer
Stage.align =3D "TL";
Stage.scaleMode =3D "noScale";

//launch local output panel
var testInstance:LocalOutputPanel =3D LocalOutputPanel.getInstance(_root, 1=
);
Sys.println("Hello MTASC!");

//run test suite
var tests:AllTests =3D new AllTests();
}
}


Setting the swf launcher up, as per the FDT demo movie for MTASC Launcher:
See here: http://fdt.powerflasher.com/flashsite/flash.htm
(click MTASC Examples > MTASC Launcher > Demo #1

MTASC only complained about a couple of things:

- It couldn't find the Sys class - I suspect there are many better ways to
solve this, but I just copied Sys.as <http://Sys.as> from my configuration
folder to the root of my project
- It threw a type errors in:

in class:
com.asunit.controls.ScrollHandle
changed line 24
from:
startDrag(this, false, 0, _parent.upArrow._y, 0, _parent.getHandleTravel())=
;
to:
startDrag(false, 0, _parent.upArrow._y, 0, _parent.getHandleTravel());

in class:
LocalOutputPanel.as
Line 117
Change from:
startDrag(this);
to:
startDrag();

Then MTASC happily compiles (although there are a few unused import
warnings, nothing fatal).

This is with the latest alpha, release candidate by the way.

Hope someone find this useful,
Alias

Argh -

Further investigation seems to indicate that the compile errors are actuall=
y
due to some incorrect parameter specification in the intrinsics, and with
the modification I've made, the project now stops working in the Flash 8
compiler:

According to the flash 8 complier:
ScrollHandle.as: Line 24: startDrag requires 1 (target), 2 (target+lock) or
6 (target+lock+constraint) parameters.

This would suggest that the AsUnit code is actually correct, and the MTASC
compiler is wrong. I'll post this to the MTASC list and see if anyone has
any suggestions.

Cheers,
Alias

Hey Alias,

As it turns out, you've discovered a feature that was baked into the
very first builds of AsUnit and actually hasn't gotten any attention
since!

I was running into a bug in the Macro compiler that prevented that
LocalOutputPanel from displaying properly. Rather than chasing it
down, I just stopped development on it and left it sad and neglected
for all this time.

Fortunately, you have resurrected it at a perfect time!

We will take a look at the sources and see what we can find to make
that panel work properly. It's definitely *not* a bug in MTASC. In
general, MTASC is stricter than MMC and forces one to actually write
clean code - which that LocalOutputPanel probably isn't...

If you're interested in inserting the fix yourself, please feel free
to download the latest sources into your classpath from CVS at
sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3D108947) and submit a
patch via email. We'll integrate it into the next build which should
be coming out shortly!


Thanks,

Hi Luke,

That's cool :)

I think it's definitely the way to go, at least for me, as I've found the
window swf generally a bit unreliable, and having to switch between the
flash IDE & Eclipse to check if my tests have passed is a bit
counterproductive.

I've actually asked about it on the MTASC list - Nicholas Canasse had this
to say:

>If I remember correctly I think usualy you call startDrag on an mc instanc=
e
>
>mc.startDrag(false,0,.....)
>
>so there is no need for "target".

So the issue is more to do with the Flash 8 compiler being strict in a
different, slightly strange way. The other thing I noticed was that the dra=
g
parameters were getting switched around. I'm going to get the source and se=
e
if I can get it to work properly.

I deployed my first properly unit tested class today, and I was surprised
how well it turned out.

If I get it working, where should I email the patch to?

Cheers,
Alias
