[Springframework-developer] SWF - Testing FlowBuilders

[Will B. <wil...@ra...>]

Unit testing flow builders seems like a good idea, but it appears to be
a little difficult to do. We really want to be able to verify that the
states, transitions, actions, and views in the generated flow are what
we expect. Does anyone have any examples of how we can do this
effectively?

Thanks!

Will

This is one of the areas we're going to try and improve in the upcoming 
preview2 release 
(http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/WEBFLOW/Change+Log).

You can already take a look at the class AbstractFlowExecutionTests, but I 
haven't used that one myself yet so I can't really comment on best practices 
or anything like that.

AbstractFlowExecutionTests is actually very useful. While a test 
deriving from it doesn't really test the builder directly (in 
isolation), it certainly does allow you to write a test (with as little 
effort as possible) to verify that your output flow from that builder 
behaves as expected, which I think is the important thing.
