Running fluint tests from the IDE using AIR?

[sasperilla]

I'm trying to setup my project to use Fluint for unit testing, and
I've read the documentation. I'm doing an AIR app so followed the
AIRTestModule.mxml. But how do I get that running in FlexBuilder?
I've defined my module and I see in bin-debug my module's swf. So how
do I run my tests in my IDE for quick turn around? Can I easily setup
some run/debug configuration to fire off my unit tests? Is there
something in the fluint swc that I configure as another Application?

I tried running my tests from the command line using:

/Applications/FluintAIRTestRunner.app/Contents/MacOS/
FluintAIRTestRunner -reportDir='tests/reports' -fileSet='bin-debug/
MyModule.swf'

But, it flashes on the screen and doesn't running anything, and
nothing it written out to tests/reports either.

Take code (test harness setup) from your Module class and copy it to an mxml Application file. I just create a shared class to aggregate test suites, like:

TestHelper.getUnitTestSuite();

Calling it from both sections.

I'm not sure how that answers my question. In all fairness I had two
questions so sorry for not being more clear.

The first one was how can I run these tests in my IDE. Since my tests
are testing AIR functionality, say Files, sqlite database, etc. How
will putting them in a mxml Application class work? What you
described sounded like a way where you could run them in Flex and AIR
while sharing the test harness setup code. I'm not interested in
doing that.

I just want to know how I might setup another AIR application using
the same code in FluintAirTestRunner to load my module so I can run my
tests in a debugger and in my IDE.

My other question was why I can't seem to run the AIR test runner from
the command line. Everytime I run it the app flashes on the screen
and immediately exits. I've verified I don't have another instance of
the app running. And I took all of my tests out of the app to see if
it was something failing to setup. Either way, it dies. Maybe I
should start another thread for that.

Yeah, i didn't let your post fully sink in.

Can you explain:

how can I run these tests in my IDE

You want the IDE to run a test harness within it's own thread? There's no JUnit style runner for within the eclipse / flexbuilder IDE, if you're referring to something like that.

Gotta run!

I think I understand the question...have you looked at the
FlexTestRunner.mxml in the source? It's an MXML Application with teh
following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:fluint="http://www.digitalprimates.net/2008/fluint"
layout="absolute"
creationComplete="startTestProcess(event)"
width="100%" height="100%">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import net.digitalprimates.fluint.monitor.TestMonitor;
import net.digitalprimates.fluint.unitTests.frameworkSuite.FrameworkSuite;

protected function startTestProcess( event:Event ) : void {
var suiteArray:Array = new Array();
suiteArray.push( new FrameworkSuite() );

testRunner.startTests( suiteArray );
}

]]>
</mx:Script>

<fluint:TestResultDisplay testMonitor="{testRunner.testMonitor}"
width="100%" height="100%" />
<fluint:TestEnvironment id="testEnvironment"/>
<fluint:TestRunner id="testRunner" testEnvironment="{testEnvironment}"/>
</mx:Application>

If you add your TestSuites to the array in starrTestProcess() and run
the app, you should be able to debug your tests.

Again, sorry if I misunderstand what you are asking....hope this helps.

Yes. That did help. I don't know why I didn't realize I could take
the guts from flex there and drop it in a WindowedApplication and have
it work. Now my tests are running like they should, and I have a lot
of red to fix. :-)

Thanks
