I’m not sure of the intended use of default_host, but app_host does what you need. I’ve found I first need to call the rails session method host! in order to set the host string that will be passed to controllers in the request object. Then you need to set Capybara.app_host to tell Capybara to call … Read more
It sounds like you didn’t understand the concept of the build life-cycle in Maven. If you run mvn install all life-cycle phases (including the install phase itself) run before the install phase. This means running the following phases: validate initialize generate-sources process-sources generate-resources process-resources compile process-classes generate-test-sources process-test-sources generate-test-resources process-test-resources test-compile process-test-classes test prepare-package package … Read more
I found the simplest way to skip only surefire tests is to configure surefire (but not failsafe) as follows: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.14</version> <configuration> <!– skips surefire tests without skipping failsafe tests. Property value seems to magically default to false –> <skipTests>${skip.surefire.tests}</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin> This allows you to run mvn verify -Dskip.surefire.tests and only surefire, not … Read more
You can use your applications dispatcher servlet xml using the following annoations. The following example is hitting a controller with the path /mysessiontest setting some session attributes and expecting a certain view to be returned: import org.junit.Before; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.http.MediaType; import org.springframework.mock.web.MockHttpServletRequest; import org.springframework.mock.web.MockHttpSession; import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner; import org.springframework.test.context.web.WebAppConfiguration; … Read more
A request spec is a thin wrapper around ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest, which doesn’t work like controller specs (which wrap ActionController::TestCase). Even though there is a session method available, I don’t think it is supported (i.e. it’s probably there because a module that gets included for other utilities also includes that method). I’d recommend logging in by posting … Read more
The selenium driver now supports this From Capybara you would access it like this: page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept or page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.dismiss or page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.text
Update for 2021: A lot has changed in 8ish years. Gradle continues to be a great tool. Now there’s a whole section in the docs dedicated to configuring Integration Tests. I recommend you read the docs now. Original Answer: This took me a while to figure out and the online resources weren’t great. So I … Read more
The following will work for Maven 2.1+ (prior to that there wasn’t a phase between test and package that you could bind an execution to). You can use the maven-antrun-plugin to replace the persistence.xml with the test version for the duration of the tests, then restore the proper version before the project is packaged. This … Read more
The answer is very simple: you are describing functional testing, which is an important part of software QA. Testing internal implementation is unit-testing, which is another part of software QA with a different goal. That’s why you are feeling that people disagree with your approach. Functional testing is important to validate that the system or … Read more
I have found Embedded MongoDB library which looks quite promising and does what you have asked for. Currently supports MongoDB versions: 1.6.5 to 3.1.6, provided the binaries are still available from the configured mirror. Here is short example of use, which I have just tried and it works perfectly: public class EmbeddedMongoTest { private static … Read more
