I think this is a catch in BaseControllerTestCase.objectToRequestParameters()
When I instance variables are prefixed with underscore Controller test for form
submission will fail.
Appfuse would create mock request with parameters which are prefixed with
underscore and spring (WebDataBinder)would not bind those parameters but
instead set to null.
Here's an example
I have a Profile entity
@Entity
@Table(name="profiles")
public class Profile {
private Long _id;
private int _age;
private Date _dob;
public Profile() {
}
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long getId() {
return _id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
_id = id;
}
@Column(name="age")
public int getAge() {
return _age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
_age = age;
}
@Column(name="dob")
public Date getDob() {
return _dob;
}
public void setDob(Date dob) {
_dob = dob;
}
}
I have to prefix all the instance variables with underscore.. this is a coding
convention in our organization and I can not change it.
I generated CRUD using AMP and run tests.. but tests failed.. there were few
problems
1. AMP created following empty form tag into validation.xml which caused
SAXParserException when loading application context
<form name="profile">
</form>
<!--Profile-END-->
An empty form tag is not allowed it must have at least one child <field>.
Either AMP should not put this form tag into validation.xml at all if no field
requires validation, or I dont knw.. :)
<form name="profile">
<field property="age" depends="required">
<arg0 key="profile.age"/>
</field>
</form>
<!--Profile-END-->
2. ProfileFormControllerTest fails
Errors errors = (Errors)
mv.getModel().get(BindException.MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + "profile");
assertNull(errors);
assertion fails because There are binding errors.. Appfuse had created mock
request with paramaters prefixed with underscore which caused WebDataBinder to
ignore it and hence...
Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught
