Running tests

[Nadav Weizmann]

Hey,

Anyone has a good, solid example of testing models and relationships? (specifically many-to-many).

I find it hard to setup tests, especially without robolectric.

Thanks

Hi Nadav

What specifically do you want to test. This functionality is already covered by the unit tests by Realm itself, so you shouldn't need to write tests for it in your app. Also many-to-many references are first-class citizens in Realm, so they behave just like normal object references.

Hey Christian, 

Thanks for your quick reply.

I simply want to write my own unit-tests, i wanna have ORM models, with internal relationships between them and write tests for it (not to mention proprietary methods which uses them...).

For some reason, this was not as easy task as it usually is with other similar technologies...

Hi Nadav

Realm uses custom native code which isn't supported by Robolectric. We have an issue here tracking it: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/904

Right now you have two options:
1) Treat Realm objects as normal objects, so just create them in memory if you want to test any business logic.
2) Run your tests as Instrumentation tests. This is e.g. what our own unit tests does at the moment: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/blob/master/realm/src/androidTest/java/io/realm/RealmObjectTest.java
