Running tests in Eclipse and IntelliJ

[kk]

Hi, 

I am wondering how to run the unit tests (e.g. PushSendTest.java) in the 'test' directory? 

Here is what I did on Eclipse: 

1. Open the unit test that I want to run -> Opened PushSendTest.java. 

2. Right click on the class name PushSendTest -> Run As -> JUnitTest. 

3. PushSendTest fails with the following error:

java.lang.AssertionError: Cannot process payload </adminUserCreatePayload.json>. Due to: No content to map due to end-of-input

4. Similarly, all the tests fail with some error or failure. 

Can you please guide me on how to run Baasbox tests on Eclipse and IntelliJ? My objective is to add my own unit tests for my project. 

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

you have to run tests outside the IDE running "play test".

They need the "play framework" context in order to run.

Thanks a lot!  

Running "play test" just compiled all the source files: 

$ play test

Then, I just googled for testing play framework and got this: 

https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/JavaTest

I ran 'test' from the SBT console. Even that just did a build and didn't run any test. 

Can you please provide more information? Really appreciate it. I am new to play and Baasbox.

Found the "solution". 

Googled it and found out that you need to run play clean to get play framework tests to work sometimes:

So, I ran play clean-all baas first and then 'play test'. Tests ran fine with a high CPU load on my Macbook Air 4GB RAM 1.8GHz Intel Core i5. :)
