[Comunit-users] Two Questions

[Dick M. <dmo...@in...>]

1. How do I reply on the thread?  I don't see any mechanism for so =
doing.

2. All machines have Visual Studio 6, SP5 installed, including VB.  All =
are Win 2k SP2.  All were built from the same set of MSDN disks.  =
ComUnit only installs on one of them.

RE: [Comunit-users] "Path not found" on install?

[<kim...@la...>]

Hi Dick,

Is VB installed on the respective machines? In what path?
I don't know how Owen attempts to resolve the install path, but he may =
have screwed it up ;)

[Comunit-users] "Path not found" on install?

[Dick M. <dmo...@in...>]

I have installed ComUnit successfully on my personal Win2kmachine.

I brought it to the office, and on 3 machines, when I click the Install =
button, I get  "Run-time error '76': Path not found."

If I uncheck the 3 templates in the install box, it succeeds.

What is wrong?

Dick.

RE: [Comunit-users] UnitRunner from command-line

[R. O. R. <ow...@ex...>]

The upcoming version of COMUnit (COMUnit 1.2) has support for command-line
execution.  Of course, as the test runner is implemented in VB, it is not a
true command-line interface; but it will accept command-line parameters and
will suppress the UI from popping up.  To operate with command-line
interaction, COMUnit 1.2 provides support for logging test runs.
Anyone interested in beta-testing, please let me know and I will send you a
copy.  Unfortunately, the progress to date has been slow...  I'm happy to
include new developers.
cheers,
owen.

  Has anyone implemented a command-line interface? I basically would like to
run my test and have them dumped to a file or console.

RE: [Comunit-users] Test Cases using COMUnit

[<Jam...@ox...>]

Hi,

I'm still fairly new to this, but:

1) In this situation, I think that you should be testing for the desired
effects of the procedure. e.g. If the procedure is
AddThingToDatabase(thing), you should call it with a particular 'thing', and
then test that it got added to the database correctly. Tests should be made
with various (pathological?) cases of 'thing' so that you know that the
error handling is OK, as well. 

2) Can you put an error handler in the Test case so that the test passes if
the correct error comes to the error handler, but fails if no error or the
wrong error is thrown.

e.g. 
Public Sub TestDatabaseManagerErrors(oTestResult As TestResult)
	
    Dim dic as New Dictionary

    OnError Go To handler:
    Dim DB as New DatabaseManager
    
    ' Expect Error
    DB.Init dic    

    oTestResult.AddFailure "DatabaseManager.Init with empty dictionary did
not throw an Error"
    Exit Sub

handler:
    oTestResult.AssertEqualsLong dbErrInvalidDictionary, Err.Number, _
                    "DatabaseManager.Init with empty dictionary threw an
incorrect Error"
End Sub


Oh! I just read your email properly, and you say you can't test for the
error there. Obviously this would kill my suggestion, but why is this? As
long as you are expecting a particular error, you can test for it, can't
you? If you aren't expecting it, then don't have the error handler. There's
always the possibility of having multiple error handlers, one installed for
each section of the procedure, almost like a 'proper' try/catch system :-). 

If anyone wants to correct me on any of this, please do. I've really only
just started using this COMUnit stuff, but I like to at least try and help.

Subject: [Comunit-users] Test Cases using COMUnit


Hi Guys,

I have following questions:

1. How to write COMUnit test cases for procedures without return values ?
Since the test
case's assert method is based on return values.

Currently I am considering such test case to be successful if no error is
raised in the
procedure.

2.In some cases, custom errors are raised inside the procedure so that the
error is escalated to the client application.

For example,if the Dictionary object that is passed to DatabaseManager
Object doesn't contain all the keys required to open a connection, error is
raised rather than trying to open the DB connection with insuffecient
parameters.

In a test case to test whether the correct error is raised in the procedure,
(situations like above) test case reports it as an error though we are
expecting an error there.
We should not handle those errors in the test case since other errors with
same error number will go unnoticed.How to handle this situation ?

You help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rajesh.

[Comunit-users] RE: newbie: never used unit testing framework need examples

[<Jam...@ox...>]

You could have a look at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jabber-net/jabber.net/tes=
t/

These are the unit tests for Jabber.Net (a Jabber server for the .NET
platform). The source is in C#, and the unit tests are using NUnit =
rather
than COMUnit as a framework, but you should be able to see the =
similarities
(both are derived from JUnit). They've certainly been writing quite a =
lot of
tests.

I've only just started using this sort of thing, but it looks useful.

RE: [Comunit-users] Installation Problem

[R. O. R. <ow...@ex...>]

Hi Marc,
the error that you are receiving is probably due to the installation of
COMUnit templates.  the installation attempts to copy the template files
into the VB templates folder which is read from the registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\TemplatesDirectory).
if you are missing this registry key (maybe the french version of windows
uses a different registry structure), then the installation may fail.  this
is not a big deal as you don't really require the templates -- they just
make it faster and easier to set up a new test project.  you can always
manually copy the template files (located in the templates folder) into the
directory containing your VB templates, or you can download the COMUnit
installation from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26984 and debug it at
your leisure.  if you come up with a good fix, please let me know and i will
try and integrate it.  one of these days i will actually get around to
building a proper installshield installation.
hope this helps,
cheers,
owen.
