Testing Labs

This plugin provides extensions to the Grails testing environment in order to fix bugs and make life easier.

Functionality Provided

• Fix for GRAILS-4460
• "create-controller-integration-test", which accepts the logical name for the controller and constructs a controller integration test in the proper package with the appropriate set of imports and the following properties.
• "instance" - An instance of the controller under test, also accessible via the controller's logical name (e.g.: "foo.bar.BazController" is accessible as the "baz" property).
• "request" - The mock request attached to "instance"
• "response" - The mock response attached to "instance"
• "session" - The mock session attached to "instance"
• "params" - The parameter map attached to "instance"
• "view" - The view attached to the instance's "modelAndView"
• "viewName" - The name of the view attached to the instance's "modelAndView"
• "model" - The model attached to the instance's "modelAndView".
• Spring beans - The controller instance is also autowired with any Spring beans (as of 0.3.1).

Controller Integration Test Example

The Grails integration test example would look like this using "create-controller-integration-test":

class FooController {
  def text = { render "bar" }
  def someRedirect = { redirect(action:"bar") }
}

grails create-controller-integraiton-test foo

class FooControllerTests extends ControllerIntegrationTestCase {
  void testText() { 
    foo.text()
    assertEquals("bar", response.contentAsString)
  }
  void testSomeRedirect() {
    foo.someRedirect()
    assertEquals("/foo/bar", response.redirectedUrl)
  }
