Sebb commented on SCXML-91: --------------------------- As to 1), what I had in mind was to change code of the form: {code} public void testInvoke01Sample() { try { SCXML scxml = SCXMLParser.parse(invoke01, new SimpleErrorHandler()); exec = new SCXMLExecutor(new JexlEvaluator(), new SimpleDispatcher(), new SimpleErrorReporter()); assertNotNull(exec); exec.setRootContext(new JexlContext()); exec.setStateMachine(scxml); exec.registerInvokerClass("scxml", SimpleSCXMLInvoker.class); exec.go(); Set<TransitionTarget> currentStates = exec.getCurrentStatus().getStates(); assertEquals(1, currentStates.size()); assertEquals("invoker", currentStates.iterator().next().getId()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); fail(e.getMessage()); } {code} to {code} public void testInvoke01Sample() throws Exception { SCXML scxml = SCXMLParser.parse(invoke01, new SimpleErrorHandler()); exec = new SCXMLExecutor(new JexlEvaluator(), new SimpleDispatcher(), new SimpleErrorReporter()); assertNotNull(exec); exec.setRootContext(new JexlContext()); exec.setStateMachine(scxml); exec.registerInvokerClass("scxml", SimpleSCXMLInvoker.class); exec.go(); Set<TransitionTarget> currentStates = exec.getCurrentStatus().getStates(); assertEquals(1, currentStates.size()); assertEquals("invoker", currentStates.iterator().next().getId()); } {code} As to 2), I still think it would be sensible to report at least one test failure if the test environment does not allow all the tests to be completed successfully. > Test case bugs > -------------- > > Key: SCXML-91 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-91 > Project: Commons SCXML > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Sebb > Fix For: 0.10 > > > Test cases are difficult to debug if they fail. > This is because many test cases catch Exception, and don't report it fully. > Test cases should only catch a (specific) Exception if the test is expected > to generate one, and should otherwise throw the Exception. > Several test cases report problems to System.out or System.err and carry on > processing. > For example, serialisation errors are largely ignored, and > SCXMLTestHelper#testExecutorSerializability() ignores IO errors. > Testing generates a lot of output, some of which appears to be errors (e.g. > stack traces) yet the test passes. > Ideally tests should suppress output stack traces which are expected during > testing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
