[Opensource] unit testing with Expresso

[Gabor Nagypal]

Hi everybody,

I am wondering, how to execute unit test (mainly junit) under expresso. 
Browsing the examples, the javadoc, the source and the existing 
documentation I have the impression that the following method is 
recommended (could you correct me, if I am wrong?):
- Make my junit test cases and test suites.
- Add a public Enumeration getTests() method to my schema which lists 
the tests
- Run the tests with the TestController controller.

It sounds good, but I could not manage to do it. When I run the 
TestController I get an error message that my tests does not contain any 
test cases (which is not the case, they do). Could you please somebody 
tell me what I do wrong, and what is the proper way to run junit test 
with Expresso?

Here is what I exactly did:

I made two extremely simple test cases just to test the testing system.

First test case:
public class FirstTest extends TestCase {
...
public void testFirstThing() {
		logger.info("Here is the testFirstThing()");
		Assert.assertTrue(true);
	}

The second test case is similar, with a public void testSecondThing() 
test. I.e. I have two tests, testFirstThing and testSecondThing, both of 
them should pass.

My getTests() method in the schema:

public Enumeration getTests() {
		Vector result = new Vector();
		/*copy tests of the superclass*/
		Enumeration superE = super.getTests();
		while (superE.hasMoreElements()) {
			result.add(superE.nextElement());
		}
		/*add our tests*/
		result.add(new TestSuite(FirstTest.class,"First"));
		result.add(new TestSuite(SecondTest.class,"Second"));
		return result.elements();
	}

The result (on the log console):

75484 [Thread-8] INFO controller.TestController  - Test Started
75484 [Thread-8] INFO controller.TestController  - A test failure has 
occurred
75484 [Thread-8] INFO controller.TestController  -

edError: No tests found in junit.framework.TestSuite
