I believe what you want is:

    @Test(enabled=false)
    public class FooTest {
      //
    }

(You can apply the @Test annotation to the class, as well as to methods individually.)

The [TestNG documentation](http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html) has a comprehensive list of the supported annotations, and also describes exclusion/inclusion of tests by group if that&#39;s of any interest. Here&#39;s a quote from the relevant section:

&gt; @Test	Marks a class or a method as
&gt; part of the test.
&gt; 
&gt;  *...(snip)...*
&gt; 
&gt;  enabled: Whether methods on this class/method are enabled.

**EDIT**:
Ignoring a class by applying `@Test(enabled=false)` is apparently buggy functionality in some versions of TestNG according to [this defect](http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/TESTNG-434) that was raised against TestNG. 

I have to create conf files and `init.d` which are very similar. These files permit to deploy new http service on my servers. These files are the same and only some parameters change from one file to another (`listen_port`, domain, path on server...).

As any error in these files leads to misfunction of service I would like to create these files using a bash script.

For example:

    generate_new_http_service.sh 8282 subdomain.domain.com /home/myapp/rootOfHTTPService

I am looking for a kind of templating module that I could use with bash. This templating module would use some generic conf and init.d scripts to create new ones.

Do you have hints for that? If not I could use python templating engine.

    &lt;/bean&gt;

And my Class.java

    file: Class.java
    public void setProperty(final List&lt;Integer&gt; elements){
        this.elements = elements;
    }

But when debugging, the parameter elements only get the last element into the list, so, there is a list of one element with value &quot;6&quot;, instead of a list with 6 elements.

I tried other approaches, like adding in value only `#{base.module}` but then it finds no parameter in the properties file.

A workaround is to have in elements.properties file a list separated by commas, like:

    base.module.elementToSearch=1,2,3,4,5,6

and use it as a String and parse it, but is there a better solution?

How to spread django unit tests over multiple files?

I am working on a series of unit tests in Python, some of which depend on the value of a configuration variable. These variables are stored in a global Python config file and are used in other modules. I would like to write unit tests for different values of the configuration variables but have not yet found a way to do this.

I do not have the possibility to rewrite the signatures of the methods I&#39;m testing.

This is what I would like to achieve:

    from my_module import my_function_with_global_var

    class TestSomething(self.unittest):
    
        def test_first_case(self):
             from config import MY_CONFIG_VARIABLE
             MY_CONFIG_VARIABLE = True
             self.assertEqual(my_function_with_global_var(), &quot;First result&quot;)

        def test_second_case(self):
             from config import MY_CONFIG_VARIABLE
             MY_CONFIG_VARIABLE = False
             self.assertEqual(my_function_with_global_var(), &quot;Second result&quot;)

Thanks.

Edit: Made the example code more explicite.

Modifying global variables in Python unittest framework

Python&#39;s built-in unittest module makes assertions with `TestCase.assert*` methods: 

    class FooTest(TestCase):
        def test_foo(self):
            self.assertEqual(1,1)
            self.assertNotEqual(1,2)
            self.assertTrue(True)

I have generally used a testrunner such as [nose][1] or [py.test][2] which allow use of the built-in `assert` keyword when making assertions:

    assert 1 == 1
    assert 1 != 2
    assert True

What is the motivation for unittest&#39;s `TestCase.assert*` approach and what are the strengths and weaknesses of this vs asserting with the built-in assert keyword? Are there reasons why unittest&#39;s syntax should be favoured?

I heard someone say that unit tests (e.g. nUnit, jUnit, xUnit) should be

&gt; [DAMP][1] not [DRY][2]

(E.g. unit tests should contain &quot;damp code&quot; not &quot;dry code&quot;)

What are they talking about?

I&#39;d like to implement some unit tests in a Scrapy (screen scraper/web crawler).  Since a project is run through the &quot;scrapy crawl&quot; command I can run it through something like nose.  Since scrapy is built on top of twisted can I use its unit testing framework Trial? If so, how? Otherwise I&#39;d like to get *nose* working.

**Update:**

I&#39;ve been talking on [Scrapy-Users](http://groups.google.com/group/scrapy-users/browse_thread/thread/ba1fadfd40916e71) and I guess I am supposed to &quot;build the Response in the test code, and then call the method with the response and assert that [I] get the expected items/requests in the output&quot;.  I can&#39;t seem to get this to work though.

I can build a unit-test test class and in a test:

 - create a response object
 - try to call the parse method of my spider with the response object

However it ends up generating [this](https://gist.github.com/1044924) traceback. Any insight as to why?

Scrapy Unit Testing

I am trying to create some JUnit tests for a method that requires user input. The method under test looks somewhat like the following method:


    public static int testUserInput() {
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println(&quot;Give a number between 1 and 10&quot;);
		int input = keyboard.nextInt();

		while (input &lt; 1 || input &gt; 10) {
			System.out.println(&quot;Wrong number, try again.&quot;);
			input = keyboard.nextInt();
		}

		return input;
	}

Is there a possible way to automatically pass the program an int instead of me or someone else doing this manually in the JUnit test method? Like simulating the user input? 

Thanks in advance.


JUnit testing with simulated user input

My question is a variation of [this one][1].

Since my Java Web-app project requires a lot of read filters/queries and interfaces with tools like GridFS, I&#39;m struggling to think of a sensible way to employ MongoDB in the way the above solution suggests.

Therefore, I&#39;m considering running an embedded instance of MongoDB alongside my integration tests. I&#39;d like it to **start up automatically** (either for each test or the whole suite), **flush the database** for every test, and **shut down** at the end. These tests might be run on development machines as well as the CI server, so my solution will also need to be **portable**.

Can anyone with more knowledge on MongoDB help me get idea of the feasibility of this approach, and/or perhaps suggest any reading material that might help me get started?

I&#39;m also open to other suggestions people might have on how I could approach this problem...

Embedded MongoDB when running integration tests

I have been assigned the task of unit testing a class that I never worked directly on with JUnit, and am strictly forbidden to change the code in the package.  This is usually no issue, since most of our unit testing is just for functionality and input/output consistency, which can be done simply by running routines and checking their return values.

However, occasionally there is a need to check a private variable within the class, or directly edit a private variable to check some internal behavior.  Is there a way to gain access to these, whether through JUnit or any other way, for the purpose of unit testing without actually changing any of the code in the original source package?  And if not, how do programmers handle this issue in the real world where a unit tester may not be the same person as the coder?

JUnit Testing private variables?

What is the best way to write junit tests for interfaces so they can be used for the concrete implementing classes?

e.g. You have this interface and implementing classes:

    public interface MyInterface {
        /** Return the given value. */
        public boolean myMethod(boolean retVal);
    }
    
    public class MyClass1 implements MyInterface {
        public boolean myMethod(boolean retVal) {
            return retVal;
        }
    }
    
    public class MyClass2 implements MyInterface {
        public boolean myMethod(boolean retVal) {
            return retVal;
        }
    }

How would you write a test against the interface so you can use it for the class?

Possibility 1:

    public abstract class MyInterfaceTest {
        public abstract MyInterface createInstance();
        
        @Test
        public final void testMyMethod_True() {
            MyInterface instance = createInstance();
            assertTrue(instance.myMethod(true));
        }

        @Test
        public final void testMyMethod_False() {
            MyInterface instance = createInstance();
            assertFalse(instance.myMethod(false));
        }
    }
    
    public class MyClass1Test extends MyInterfaceTest {
        public MyInterface createInstance() {
            return new MyClass1();
        }
    }
    
    public class MyClass2Test extends MyInterfaceTest {
        public MyInterface createInstance() {
            return new MyClass2();
        }
    }

Pro:

 - Need only one method to be implemented

Con:

 - Dependencies and mock objects of class under test have to be the same for all tests

Possibility 2:

    public abstract class MyInterfaceTest
        public void testMyMethod_True(MyInterface instance) {
            assertTrue(instance.myMethod(true));
        }

        public void testMyMethod_False(MyInterface instance) {
            assertFalse(instance.myMethod(false));
        }
    }
    
    public class MyClass1Test extends MyInterfaceTest {
        @Test
        public void testMyMethod_True() {
            MyClass1 instance = new MyClass1();
            super.testMyMethod_True(instance);
        }
        
        @Test
        public void testMyMethod_False() {
            MyClass1 instance = new MyClass1();
            super.testMyMethod_False(instance);
        }
    }
    
    public class MyClass2Test extends MyInterfaceTest {
        @Test
        public void testMyMethod_True() {
            MyClass1 instance = new MyClass2();
            super.testMyMethod_True(instance);
        }
        
        @Test
        public void testMyMethod_False() {
            MyClass1 instance = new MyClass2();
            super.testMyMethod_False(instance);
        }
    }

Pro:

 - fine granualtion for each test including dependencies and mock objects

Con:

 - Each implementing test class requires to write additional test methods

Which possibility would you prefer or what other way do you use?

I&#39;m just trying to add test cases for services accessing a MySQL DB, and I would like to recreate the whole schema (and for some scenarios also just use a MySQL dump file with the data needed for each test case). I was looking around and found some guys using SQLite / H2 and others to do this, but I&#39;m just wandering if there is any way to run MySQL in-memory so I don&#39;t need to worry about anything specific to the the MySQL dialect I might be using on our services.

The stacktraces are truncated - e.g. they end with `[info]   ...`

Using `last` or changing `traceLevel` doesn&#39;t help - it simply prints the complete stacktrace of the sbt wrapper.

This is testing with testng (also I believe using scalatest and sl4j)

How can I get complete stacktraces for exceptions thrown in tests when using sbt and testng?

I&#39;m using Selenium WebDriver (Java) and TestNG to do some testing on a website I created. In this website, I also have JavaScript and in some of the functions, it returns values and also outputs values to the browser console through `console.log()`.

**I was wondering if there is an easy way for Selenium WebDriver to access some of this JavaScript information so I can perform assertions using TestNG.**

I&#39;m quite new to Selenium but I understand that you can do something like:

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.findElement(By.id(&quot;btn&quot;)).click();

So is there anything similar I can do using `WebDriver` to read the JavaScript on the site?

----------

Clarification
-------------

It looks like people are making the assumption that I&#39;m trying to &quot;execute&quot; JavaScript code through Selenium.

Thats not the case. Instead, I&#39;m trying to store already-defined JavaScript variable using Selenium.

Basically, I want Selenium to be able to grab the JavaScript variable&#39;s value, store it locally, and then do an assertion test on it.

----------

Attempt 1
---------

Say I have the following JS code for my website:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    	var foo = $(#&quot;input-field-val&quot;).val();
    
    	function returnFoo() {
    		return foo;
    	}
    });

From what I&#39;ve reading and understanding, in my seperate Selenium test file (Selenium.java), I should be able to do something like this?:

    public class Selenium {
    	WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    	JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    
    	@Test
    	public void testSample() {
    		driver.get(&quot;www.mywebsite.com&quot;);
    		js.executeScript(&quot;alert(returnFoo());&quot;);
    	}
    }

I do something similar to what&#39;s above but no alert box pops up. Instead, I get an error message:

    Exception in thread &quot;main&quot; org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: ReferenceError: returnFoo is not defined

I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;m not understanding what it means when its said that the JS variable 

&gt; should not be part of a closure or local variable

I have also tried defining a global variable above the `$(document).ready(function()...` and setting is within `function returnFoo()` but still doesn&#39;t work.

----------

Attempt 2
---------

I&#39;ve moved both `foo` and `returnFoo()` outside of the `$(document).ready(function()...`. That has fixed `ReferenceError` message that I was getting in *Attempt 1* above.

I hav also given `foo` a value so my JS code looks something like this:

    var foo = &quot;Selenium test run&quot;;
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
    ...
    });
    
    function returnFoo() {
        return foo;
    }

Now, I&#39;m having a tough time assigning the return of `returnFoo()` to a local variable within my Selenium test. Here&#39;s what I&#39;ve attempted:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    
            driver.get(&quot;http://localhost:8080/HTML5TestApp/prod.html&quot;);
            Object val = js.executeScript(&quot;window.returnFoo();&quot;);
            System.out.println(val);
        } 

But the console display `null` instead of the actual value of **&quot;Selenium test run&quot;**.

Attempt 2 - SOLUTION
-----------------

It looks like if I do `Object val = js.executeScript(&quot;alert(returnFoo());&quot;);` I get the value of `foo`.


----------

SOLUTION
--------

So here&#39;s the solution I&#39;ve come up w/ to my problem thanks to the solution by Martin Foot below.

In my JavaScript file, I created a `var` and a setter/getter function like so:

**index.js**

    var seleniumGlobal;
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
    ...
    )};
    
    function setSG(toSet) {
    	seleniumGlobal = toSet;
    }
    
    function getSG() {
    	return seleniumGlobal;
    }

**SampleTest.java**

    // Do all the necessary imports

    public class SampleTest {
    	WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    	JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    
    	@Test
    	public void testPrintVal() {
    		String sgVal = (String) js.executeScript(&quot;alert(getSG());&quot;);
    		Assert.assertEquals(&quot;new value for seleniumGlobal&quot;, sgVal);
    	}
    }

So whenever some code in my JavaScript sets my `seleniumGlobal` variable through the setter method, I can call it through my Selenium test and do assertions on it.

This is probably not the most efficient way to do but if someone else has a better solution, please let me know.
