fest

Enables UI testing with FEST. FEST-Swing is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for functional Swing GUI testing. This library provides an easy-to-use API that makes creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy. Tests created with FEST usually belong to the integration type, as they rely on testing your application from the end-user's point of view: the UI.

Usage

Tests are run just like normal Griffon tests via grails test-app.

Every FEST test must initialize the application properly and cleanup any resources after each test method has run. The base FEST testcase enforces this by making the following methods final: setUp(), tearDown(). However you may perform additional steps during those phases by overriding onSetup() and onTearDown() respectively. Here as a sample testcase that demonstrates FEST in action

    import org.fest.swing.fixture.*
    import griffon.test.FestSwingTestCase
    class WordFinderTests extends FestSwingTestCase {
       // instance variables:
       // app - current application
       // window - value returned from initWindow()
       //      defaults to app.appFrames[0]

        void testNoWordPresentThenInvalidText() {
            window.with {
                textBox("wordValue").enterText ""
                button("findWord").click()
                label("answer").requireText WordFinderModel.TYPE_A_WORD
            }
        }

        void testDefinitionPresent() {
            window.with {
                textBox("wordValue").enterText "pugnacious"
                button("findWord").click()
                label("answer").requireText "Combative in nature; belligerent."
            }
        }

        void testWordPresentThenUnknownWord() {
            window.with {
                textBox("wordValue").enterText "Bogus"
                button("findWord").click()
                label("answer").requireText WordFinderModel.UNKNOWN_WORD
            }
        }
    }
