Junit and Debugging of Velocity Templates

[Llewellyn Falco <is...@setgame.com>]

I would like to know which flag to set so when I run my junit tests 

#parse (fileWithErrorInIt)

$real.unknownfield.call()

#if ($real.unknowfield()) .... #end

$real.returnsNull().doSomething()


will all throw errors so my test will fail and I can realize I did something stupid.

thanks.

You should be able to use a customary Introspector.  See the
"Pluggable Introspection" here:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html#Velocity%20Configuration%20Keys%20and%20Values

But instead of doing all those tricky stuff, I suggest you read "JUnit
Recipes" by J. B. Rainsberger.  There is a nice recipe for testing
Velocity templates.
