Content Assist Question [message #715373]

I am trying to develop a comprehensive set of JUnit tests for my DSL.

At a given point, Ctrl-Space gives me the following choices:

-Script FileSpec - template for a Script FileSpec
end
fileSpec

I have no problem to test options 2 and 3, but option 1 is the name of a user-defined
template (suppose it is: fileSpec = fileSpecID ; ) where fileSpecID id a cross-reference to some pre-defined ID.

Of course I can do:
.assertMatchString("-Script FileSpec - template for a Script FileSpec, end, fileSpec")
.append("fileSpec = FileID1 ;")
.append(" ")

and repeat it for all possible values of fileSpecID. But would it guarantee that the list in the template was correct and that FileID1 is valid ?

Is there a better way ?
for hints
MS
Thanks

Hi,

what about testing scoping and ca separately? you shoulkd not test "everything" in you ca test. and of course you should not test the xtext framework itself.
btw do you know http://startbigthinksmall.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/eclipse-labs-xtext-utils-unit-testing-helpers-released/?

Hi Christian.

I did not know about the testing-helpers utilities and will look into it, it might be the answer to many of my questions.
Thanks again
MS
