In the scope of my code generation project, I would like to perform automated unitary tests of the transformation results.
Does anyone has already experienced unit testing with M2T ?

What is the best way to perform that ?

Thank you for your answers

Hi Sebastien,

We've never really unit tested the templates themselves, yet you can
take a look at the Acceleo unit tests for what we do to compare the
generation results and make sure it does not evolve/change between two
versions.

I usually recommend to write tests against the generated code.
This is far more robust compared to just comparing the text between two
versions of the generator.

Cheers,
Sven

Hi Sven,

This is only possible when what you generate is code, though Acceleo is
a text generator. Granted, when the target is code, the best bet is to
write unit tests against the target. Yet when the target is XML ...

Hello,

Is there any news about the unit test of templates?

I have developed a unit test to check one of my generators, but when I break my generator the unit test does not failed. No exception is thrown but I can find message in the log.

I use the following line to launch the generator :
new HtmlReport(benchmark, targetDirectory, new ArrayList<Object>()).doGenerate(null);

How should I call my generator to be able to get an exception when my generator fails? To be able to get those exceptions would be really use full to develop low cost unit tests.

I get such kind of Exception :

Hi,
The problems found by Acceleo are logged using the standard logging mechanism in Eclipse and they appear in the error log.
You can find here some documentation in order to listen to the errors logged by a specific eclipse plugin or by the complete Eclipse platform. Something like org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEnginePlugin.getLog().addL ogListener(...) and org.eclipse.acceleo.common.AcceleoCommonPlugin.getLog().addL ogListener(...) should do the trick if you want to listen to errors from the generation.

Hello,

Thank you for your advice. It solve my problem.

Here is the patch to listen to the log of the Acceleo engine : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=195859

Regards,
Gregoire Dupe

Hi,

"but when I break my generator the unit test does not failed"

If you want to detect errors during the parsing of your generator, you may want to look at the test project org.eclipse.acceleo.parser.tests.
This utility class used for our test may help you. You can see how we are using it here.

We are checking for informations, warnings and errors during each steps of the compilation, like this:
checkCSTParsing(moduleFile, 0, 0, 0);
checkCST2ASTConvertion(1, 0, 0);
checkASTResolution(1, 0, 0);
checkASTDocumentationResolution(1, 0, 0);


You woudln't have to launch the generation for that.
