Yes, people are using FlexUnit to test Cairngorm apps. There are at least two different ways to do it. The first is detailed here: http://jharbs.com/blog/ http://flexapps.blogspot.com/2006/11/cairngorm-iresponder-async-flexunit.html My understanding is that either one or both of Cairngorm and Flexunit are being changed so that they work together better. As a temporary solution, I came up with something that's not nearly as efficient as it should be, but allowed me to test my Cairngorm apps without making any modifications to FlexUnit. The Quick summary is: 1. Dispatch your event 2. Create a closure that will verify the command has correctly modified the model. 3. Tell flexunit you wan't that closure as the async handler And here's some sample code: public function testMyEventvoid { var event:SampleEvent = new SampleEvent(); CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(event); // create a closure that will be used to test the object // once the appropriate command has been executed var f:Function = function(e:*):void { // make sure that it was called correctly assertEquals("MyValue", model.value); assertTrue(event.someProperty); } callbackHelper(f); } // tell FlexUnit we're listening for an async event to happen private function callbackHelper(func:Function, runIn:uint=10, timeout:uint=50) : void { var t:Timer = new Timer(runIn, 1); t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, addAsync(func, timeout)); t.start(); } What's bad about the above is you have to wait until you're pretty sure the command will have executed, and then perform the tests. So, if it takes 5 ms to perform the command, you might have to wait another 200 ms before you actually perform the test. I hope that helps. Kaleb Pederson http://www.soph-ware.com/
