Broken input and output streams ------------------------------- Key: IO-193 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-193 Project: Commons IO Issue Type: New Feature Components: Streams/Writers Reporter: Jukka Zitting Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.5
When testing error handling in code that uses streams one needs a way to simulate an IOException being thrown by a stream. Typically this means using a custom stream class that throws the desired exception. To avoid having to implement such custom classes over and over again for multiple projects, I'd like to introduce such classes in Commons IO. The proposed BrokenInputStream and BrokenOutputStream always throw a given IOException from all InputStream and OutputStream methods that declare such exceptions. For example, the following fictional test code: {code} Result result = processStream(new InputStream() { public int read() throws IOException { throw new IOException("test"); } }); assertEquals(PROCESSING_FAILED, result); {code} could be replaced with: {code} Result result = processStream(new BrokenInputStream()); assertEquals(PROCESSING_FAILED, result); {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
