Unit testing the SDK
Is there a way to write and run unit tests (e.g. FlexUnit) to test the
SDK? I know we use Mustella, but from what I can tell, mustella tests
need a UI / swf to run, rather than just testing a class without the
need for a UI.
I ask because I'd like to write some unit tests for
HierarchicalCollectionViewCursor for this bug[1] I'm working on. Do I
need to write mustella tests, or can I write FlexUnit ones?
Thanks.

All right, good to know.
About the path - should I add a unit test called
HierarchicalCollectionViewCursorTest_FLEX_34119 in
sdk\frameworks\projects\advancedgrids\test\mx\collections, or is it
better in sdk\frameworks\tests\mx\collections?
Also, what is the whiteboard? The only things I could find about it
were this[1] and that "Committers are granted access to a whiteboard
where they can share thoughts and code for discussion through a
Whiteboard"[2].

I also have some in my whiteboard for VectorCollection.... and there are the FlexUnit tests themselves in the FlexUnit repo.
But no, there are no further unit tests against the SDK.

Hi,

I have about 80 or so FlexUnit collection tests that were in my white board to supplement the mustella ones, but they are not currently run automatically.
Given that Flex Unit has been released under Apache I see no reason not to use it.

TLF unit tests were written in Flex Unit 1, so you will not find in develop
branch any test marked [Test], but in branch FlexUnit4TestsTLF you will find
couple of tests rewritten to Flex Unit 4.
I hope I will back to this soon.

Thanks for that, good to know.
But I just did a global search for "flexunit" in all *.as files in
both the sdk and tlf. The only ones I could find are in
tlf\automation_core\src\UnitTest\. Does this mean I am going to write
and commit the first ever unit (i.e. non-mustella) tests for the SDK?
That feels very unlikely, so I guess I'm not searching right.

IMO any tests are fine and mustella test can be tricky to write if you're new to it.

Hi Mihai,
You can check branch with TLF unit tests, maybe it will help you a bit.
