Unit testing "ordinary" IController implementations [message #586154] Wed, 30 June 2010 19:00 Go to next message

Hi again,

just wanted to ask what's currently being considered the best way to unit test controller classes not extending SubModuleController. For example, how do I test AbstractWindowController or plain old IController implementations? AbstractSubModuleControllerTest does clearly not qualify there...

Thanks in advance,

Chris

For those who care: Here's the infrastructure code (read: hack) I use to test my AbstractWindowController.

All my window controller extend AbstractTestableWindowController, while all corresponding unit tests inherit from AbstractControllerTest.

Please note that this only a work-around for current shortcomings in Riena itself. Here's my wish-list to make this workaround unnecessary in the future:

* AbstractWindowController.getRidget(...) should behave similar to NavigationNodeController<ISubModuleNode>.getRidget(...) when invoked from within a unit test; that is: generate the (mock) ridgets automatically at the time they're first requested.
* There should be an equivalent to AbstractSubModuleControllerTest that people could use to unit test their AbstractWindowController.
* All relevant Riena classes should always check for null when calling getUIControl() on their ridgets (e.g. EmbeddedTitleBarRidget.dispose() or DefaultActionManager.activate() currently fail to do so).
