tests are slow
Hi Forum,
I'm running tests using:
ant run-single-test-suite ...
The environment to run the tests take ages to startup. It makes writing
and running tests painful!
Is there anyway to reduce this time?
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
You're most welcome to create a jira issue, I can't guarantee I'll be able to work on it anytime soon however.
Regards
Scott

Hi Scott,
That works great - much quicker!
I have started up the normal container and I have created a service
(runTestSuite) that instantiates the TestRunContainer. The service is
marked as exported, so I am just running the tests via a SOAP call at
the moment.
This functionality would be good in webtools. It would also be good if
a test could be executed against a running ofbiz via the main build ant
script. Using ant, we could easily run tests from eclipse by creating
an external run task for each test.
Shall I raise this as a JIRA improvement?
Many thanks,
Chris

You could try manually initializing and starting the TestRunContainer, but obviously changes to java files will only take effect after you recompile.
Let me know how it goes, there is potential that we could put something like this into webtools alongside the selenium tests.

I'm lovin the test framework, but I'm still finding the startup time to be a
pain. What would need to be done to run the tests against an already
running instance?
Many thanks,
Chris

Ah, my in-experience is showing - I normally have ofbiz running during
development to check data, etc.
Perhaps I should have two instances, one for playing with through the
UI, the other for testing.
Many thanks for the feedback!

I don't generally start OFBiz to do some development unless I'm
playing around with the UI, the usual process is:
Write some code
Run some tests
Start OFBiz and manually test if needed
Commit
As a percentage of my day tests would take at most maybe 5% which I
don't really consider excessive and I don't feel the need to sit there
and stare at the console while the tests run.
It should be possible to run a test suite against an already running
instance, assuming no compilation is required and the database is in
the state required by the tests (i.e. pretty much unchanged from a
fresh install).

Scott

Scott,
Does you cycle follow something like this?:
Start Obiz
Do some development
Stop Ofbiz
Run Tests
Anyway, a couple of minutes seems like a long time for a test suite. If
the tests could be run against an already running ofbiz, this time could
be much reduced?
Many thanks,
Chris

Running a single test suite typically takes me about a minute or two,
so unless that's what you mean by "ages" then yes, you need a faster
laptop :-)
