I have a BEAM DoFn that I'm attempting to unit test. It involves using a timer based on processing time and I've not managed to get it to fire. The relevant code excerpts are as follows:
@TimerId("timer") private final TimerSpec timer = TimerSpecs.timer(TimeDomain.PROCESSING_TIME); @ProcessElement public void process(@TimerId("timer") Timer timer) { // Set a processing time timer to fire in 5 seconds so we can poll BigQuery timer.offset(Duration.standardSeconds(5)).setRelative(); } @OnTimer("timer") public void onTimer() { System.out.println("In onTimer"); When I use a TestPipeline with an appropriate PAssert, it always results in the following exception: org.apache.beam.sdk.Pipeline$PipelineExecutionException: java.util.NoSuchElementException at org.apache.beam.runners.direct.DirectRunner$DirectPipelineResult.waitUntilFinish(DirectRunner.java:348) at org.apache.beam.runners.direct.DirectRunner$DirectPipelineResult.waitUntilFinish(DirectRunner.java:318) at org.apache.beam.runners.direct.DirectRunner.run(DirectRunner.java:213) at org.apache.beam.runners.direct.DirectRunner.run(DirectRunner.java:67) at org.apache.beam.sdk.Pipeline.run(Pipeline.java:317) at org.apache.beam.sdk.testing.TestPipeline.run(TestPipeline.java:350) at org.apache.beam.sdk.testing.TestPipeline.run(TestPipeline.java:331) at com.nwm.foundry.atomic.AtomicCommitFnTest.shouldGenerateCorrectEvent(AtomicCommitFnTest.java:28) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:59) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:56) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.apache.beam.sdk.testing.TestPipeline$1.evaluate(TestPipeline.java:319) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:306) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner$1.evaluate(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:100) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:366) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:103) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:63) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$4.run(ParentRunner.java:331) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:79) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:329) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$100(ParentRunner.java:66) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:293) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:306) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:413) at org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.run(JUnitCore.java:137) at com.intellij.junit4.JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.java:68) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.IdeaTestRunner$Repeater.startRunnerWithArgs(IdeaTestRunner.java:47) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:242) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:70) Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException at java.util.ArrayList$Itr.next(ArrayList.java:862) at org.apache.beam.vendor.guava.v26_0_jre.com.google.common.collect.Iterators.getOnlyElement(Iterators.java:302) at org.apache.beam.vendor.guava.v26_0_jre.com.google.common.collect.Iterables.getOnlyElement(Iterables.java:254) at org.apache.beam.sdk.testing.PAssert$SingletonCheckerDoFn.processElement(PAssert.java:1417) Swapping the timer for an EVENT_TIME timer works fine. Is there a trick I'm missing here?
