You
...
should
...
be
...
familiar
...
with
...
...
as
...
it
...
is
...
what
...
OpenMRS
...
uses
...
for
...
unit
...
testing.
...
For
...
my
...
test,
...
I
...
used
...
JUnit4.
...
Please
...
see
...
...
...
...
...
and
...
...
...
...
...
...
for
...
more
...
information.
...
It
...
is
...
assumed
...
for
...
the
...
sake
...
of
...
this
...
tutorial
...
that
...
you
...
have
...
read
...
and
...
understand
...
those.
...
This
...
is
...
a
...
brief
...
tutorial
...
on
...
how
...
to
...
unit
...
test
...
a
...
servlet
...
using
...
...
.
...
There
...
are
...
two
...
examples
...
that
...
exist
...
in
...
the
...
OpenMRS
...
subversion
...
repository.
...
I
...
will
...
discuss
...
how
...
to
...
test
...
HTTP
...
requests.
...
First,
...
you
...
must
...
add
...
the
...
following
...
jar
...
files
...
to
...
your
...
module's
...
classpath.
...
These
...
are
...
included
...
in
...
htmlunit's
...
distributed
...
zip
...
file
...
in
...
the
...
jar
...
directory.
Classpath
In lib-common
...
add:
...
- xercesImpl-2.6.1.jar
...
Then
...
in
...
lib
...
add
...
the
...
following:
...
- js-1.6R5.jar
...
- nekohtml-0.9.5.jar
...
- httpunit.jar
...
Add
...
these
...
to
...
your
...
eclipse
...
classpath.
...
For
...
the
...
method
...
I
...
used,
...
you
...
must
...
deploy
...
your
...
module,
...
and
...
it
...
must
...
be
...
running
...
in
...
OpenMRS.
Writing your test
A fair warning, I've written my test in Groovy, however the concepts are all there, and should be obvious.
Now that you have your classpath set up, it is assumed that you will allow eclipse to manage your imports for you, so I will only show you one method for the sake of brevity. Then I will explain it line by line.

WebConversation wc @After void cleanUp() { wc = null } |
The
...
above
...
line
...
is
...
needed
...
so
...
that
...
we
...
can
...
clean
...
up
...
after
...
we
...
finish
...
testing.
...
That
...
should
...
be
...
the
...
first
...
method
...
in
...
your
...
test
...
class.
...
Now
...
let's
...
write
...
our
...
first
...
test
...
method,
...
I'm
...
testing
...
my
...
...
...
which
...
is
...
responsible
...
for
...
validation/generation
...
of
...
the
...
controller/view
...
for
...
the /wiki/spaces/AR/pages/18513993.
I am only going to post one test method here, for the full class see this link. It should give you the overall gist. Assume for the sake of this test method that a static import exists for assertTrue and assertEquals (as that is the case in my test class.)
| Code Block |
|---|
@Test void testCheckSyntaxForModel() { wc = new WebConversation() def rq = new PostMethodWebRequest("http://localhost:8080/openmrs/moduleServlet/groovyforms/createGroovyForm") rq.setParameter "clazz", "class MyForm { }" rq.setParameter "validate", "true" rq.setParameter "name", "My Form" rq.setParameter "version", "1.0" def response = wc.getResponse(rq) assertEquals "<result>true</result>", response.text  // test when no class definition is given rq.setParameter "clazz", "" response = wc.getResource(rq) assertEquals "<result>false</result>", response.text  // test invalid syntax rq.setParameter "clazz", "class MyForm { String }" wc = new WebConversation() response = wc.getResponse(rq) assertTrue "Should be true", response.text.indexOf("Exception") > 0 } |
What's
...
going
...
on
...
here?
...
Let's
...
see.
...
- wc
...
- =
...
- new
...
- WebConversation()
...
- This
...
- is
...
- how
...
- we
...
- mock
...
- the
...
- browser
...
- session
...
- def
...
- rq
...
- =
...
- new
...
- PostMethodWebRequest("
...
...
- ")
...
- Next,
...
- we
...
- "fake"
...
- a
...
- form
...
- POST
...
- operation.
...
- The
...
- next
...
- few
...
- lines,
...
- i
...
- just
...
- define
...
- the
...
- request
...
- parameters.
...
- def
...
- response
...
- =
...
- wc.getResponse(rq)
...
- Now
...
- we
...
- actually
...
- "submit"
...
- the
...
- request.
...
- Finally,
...
- I
...
- check
...
- that
...
- the
...
- syntax
...
- is
...
- correct
...
- by
...
- retrieving
...
- the
...
- the
...
- text
...
- from
...
- the
...
- response
...
- (using
...
- response.text).
...
- It
...
- is
...
- valid.
...
Then
...
after
...
that,
...
I
...
check
...
to
...
see
...
if
...
it
...
returns
...
the
...
correct
...
response
...
if
...
no
...
code
...
is
...
given;
...
that
...
works.
...
Finally,
...
I
...
check
...
to
...
see
...
that
...
giving
...
invalid
...
code
...
returns
...
an
...
exception,
...
and
...
indeed
...
it
...
does.
Final Notes Regarding Groovy
- When you see "response.text"
...
- it
...
- is
...
- NOT
...
- direct
...
- field
...
- access,
...
- groovy
...
- calls
...
- the
...
- getter
...
- for
...
- that
...
- field,
...
- in
...
- this
...
- case
...
- getText().
...
- When
...
- you
...
- see
...
- "def"
...
- it
...
- is
...
- using
...
- duck-typing,
...
- the
...
- type
...
- is
...
- inferred
...
- based
...
- on
...
- the
...
- value
...
- to
...
- the
...
- right.
...
- Parenthesis
...
- are
...
- optional,
...
- except
...
- in
...
- the
...
- case
...
- of
...
- no-arg
...
- methods.
...
- Semi-colons
...
- are
...
- optional,
...
- except
...
- when
...
- you
...
- have
...
- multiple
...
- statements
...
- on
...
- the
...
- same
...
- lines.
