All in-memory and unit/integration tests

[Bruno Dusausoy]

Hi,

I'm quite new to Jackrabbit and I have a question regarding 
unit/integration tests.

I'm testing if my data are being saved into the repository.
I'm using a TransientRepository for that purpose. But since I don't have 
a specific configuration, it saves everything in the file system, which 
is fine but slow, too slow for a unit/integration test.
So I googled a bit and found an article about how to speed up tests with 
Jackrabbit[1].
The problem is that, if I do the changes they recommend, I lose all my 
data between the sessions, which is of course not what I want.

I got this kind of code in my tests :

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        FileUtils.deleteQuietly(JACKRABBIT_REPOSITORY);
        repository = new TransientRepository(JACKRABBIT_CONFIG, 
JACKRABBIT_REPOSITORY);
        management = new JackrabbitModelManagement();
        management.setUsername(username);
        management.setPassword(password);
        management.setRepository(repository);
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() {
        FileUtils.deleteQuietly(JACKRABBIT_REPOSITORY);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSetModelDescriptorWithoutIdNode() throws Exception {
        BaseModelVersionDescriptor descriptor =
                new BaseModelVersionDescriptor(new 
BaseModelDescriptor(1, "first"), "1.0", 1);
        String content = "foo";
        InputStream input = IOUtils.toInputStream(content);

        // Method to test.
        management.setModelDescriptor(descriptor, input);

        Session session = repository.login(new 
SimpleCredentials(username, password.toCharArray()));
        // Retrieve content
        Node root = session.getRootNode();
        Node node = root.getNode("1/1.0/model/jcr:content");
        String actual = node.getProperty("jcr:data").getString();
        assertEquals(content, actual);
        session.logout();
    }


My code used to retrieve the content throws a PathNotFoundException 
because data has been lost between the two sessions (my 
management.setModelDescriptor() method opens and then closes a session.)

So is there a recommended way to use a "all-in-memory" configuration for 
use with tests ?

Regards.
