Hi,
I'm not a commiter, but if I may share may point of view, I also
prefer working with files when they are of certain size. It's easier
to edit it with you IDE :)
Sure. My question was what types of tests you are doing. I think
Christian is doing integration/functional tests and not unit tests.
The distinction is probably blurred by the fact that he's using JUnit
for both types
Instead of placing the file somewhere in the path, I place it within
the package path. It can be fetched as a resource from the class. A
bonus is that the location if the file does not matter, as long as the
classpath is correct.
I would write something like
(see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/io/api-release/org/apache/
commons/io/IOUtils.html):
String content = IOUtils.toString(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/
path/to/file"));
Sounds simpler to me ;-)
Thanks

Example (not tested, view it as pseudo code:) )
public byte[] readResourceExample() throws IOException
{
ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream in = null;
try
{
// (option 1)
in = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "/rootPackage/
myfile.html" );
// (option 2)
in = getClass().getResourceAsStream(
"childPackageOfCurrentClassPackage/myfile.html" );
BufferedInputStream bin = new BufferedInputStream( in );
int read;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while ( (read = bin.read( buffer )) >= 0 )
{
bout.write( buffer, 0, read );
}
}
finally
{
if ( in != null )
{
try
{
in.close();
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
// ignore
}
}
}
return bout.toByteArray();
}

wws Why do you have to work with files? If I were you
I'd work with
content in memory, not files. That's much better because:
I load the files into memory :)
1/ The test and the input data are in the same location making it
easier to understand and maintain the test
Adding about 150 lines (html and xwiki) makes the test file very very
big. I have here
laying much bigger html files (400 lines because of the <style>
stuff)
and I dont
want to add them.
2/ No IO thus less complex (your post proves it)
But is very hard to add 150 lines of a String to the source. Have
a look at:
html = "<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0

Doing copy and paste in a file is much easier to handle...
3/ Much faster
For me its no problem if the test is a little bit slower... the
quality of tests
are much important.

Christian
