JarCastingJParams for JUnit 4
Getting Started
Get JParams
Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jparams</groupId>
<artifactId>jparams-junit4</artifactId>
<version>1.x.x</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Gradle:
testCompile 'com.jparams:jparams-junit4:1.x.x'
Create a Test
Create a test class and run it with JParamsTestRunner
@RunWith(JParamsTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {
}
Choose a Reader
Readers are used to load data from a data source. These are annotations placed on test methods to enable parameterization.
@RunWith(JParamsTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {
// Inline data
@Data({
"Hi, Bye",
"Good, Bad",
"Happy, Sad",
"'null', null" // Compare null string to null value
})
@Test
public void inline(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
@DataFile(path = "data.csv", location = Location.CLASSPATH)
@Test
public void fileInClassPath(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
@DataFile(path = "/data.csv", location = Location.FILE)
@Test
public void fileInFileSystem(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
// Get data from provider
@DataProvider(SampleDataProvider.class)
@Test
public void provider(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
// Get data from method
@DataMethod(source = SomeTest.class, method = "provideData")
@Test
public void provider(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
// Non parameterized test
@Test
public void simpleTest() throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
public static Object[][] provideData() {
return new Object[][] {
{"Hi", "Bye"},
{"Good", "Bad"},
{"Happy", "Sad"}
};
}
public static class SampleDataProvider implements Provider {
@Override
public Object[][] provide() {
return new Object[][] {
{"Hi", "Bye"},
{"Good", "Bad"},
{"Happy", "Sad"}
};
}
}
}
Name your Test
Name your test using the @Name annotation. If your test is not annotated, the default pattern [{index}] - {params} will be used.
Tokens:
- {class} - Simple name of the class under test
- {method} - Name of the method under test
- {index} - Index of the current row of parameters under test
- {params} - Comma separated list of all parameters
- {0}, {1}, {2} etc - Reference to individual parameters
@RunWith(JParamsTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {
@Data({
"Hi, Bye",
"Good, Bad",
"Happy, Sad"
})
@Name("Assert that {0} does not equal {1}")
@Test
public void inline(String input1, String input2) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isNotEqualTo(input2);
}
}
Type Conversion
Converters are used to convert representation of parameters into Java Types. Out of the box, JParams supports the following type conversions without any additional mark ups required:
- BigDecimal
- Boolean - "true" or "false"
- Class - fully qualified class name
- Date - time stamp e.g. "1490860142531" or ISO-8601 date format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'" e.g. "2017-03-30T08:49:30Z"
- Double
- Enum
- Float
- Integer
- Long
Custom Converters
You can create a custom Converter assign it to method parameter using the @Convert annotation:
@RunWith(JParamsTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {
@Data({
"'John, Doe', 25",
"'Susan, Smith', 22"
})
@Test
public void customConverter(@Convert(NameConverter.class) Name name, int age) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Name: " + name.getFirstName() + " " + name.getLastName() + ", Age: " + age);
}
public static class Name {
private final String firstName;
private final String lastName;
public Name(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
}
public static class NameConverter implements Converter<Name> {
@Override
public Name convert(String data) {
String[] split = data.split(",");
return new Name(split[0], split[1].trim());
}
}
}
Custom Readers
To create a customer reader, create an annotation and mark it with @ReadWith. An example is shown below:
@ReadWith(CustomReader.class)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface CustomData {
String customValue();
}
Now create the reader for this annotation.
public class CustomReader implements Reader<CustomData> {
@Override
public Object[][] readData(CustomData annotation) {
return new Object[][] {{ annotation.customValue() }};
}
}
Now go ahead and use it in your test.
@RunWith(JParamsTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {
@CustomData(customValue = "bob")
@Test
public void customReader(String input1) throws Exception {
assertThat(input1).isEqualTo("bob");
}
}
