[classlib] testing guidlines -- support classes
There are support classes that are shared by various types of the tests,
e.g. api and impl or classpath and bootclasspath
We can either separate them from the tests or duplicate.
I suggest that we separate these classes into folder
src/test/support/[platform]/java
and
org.apache.harmony.module.tests.support.*
package.
Probably it makes sense to put all the module's support
classes there (not only shared ones).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mikhail

Re: [classlib] testing guidlines -- support classes
Posted by Tim Ellison <t....@gmail.com>.
I think that we are really struggling here to represent the different
combination of tests using the file system directory.
So far I think we have :
- api tests on application classpath
- impl tests on bootclasspath
- impl tests on application classpath
- support classes
- platform specific classes
- failing tests (even temp failing and always failing)
- resources used in tests
and I'm sure we will find more categories as we go.
IMHO trying to use a combination of directory and file names to separate
these is flawed. Each new categorization adds another layer in source
tree layout, and added complexity.
I still believe that we should be using suites to organize the tests
into groups, irrespective of how they are stored on disk. In this case,
categorization is by suite membership, not based on file path.
Glad I got that off my chest.

Tim

Presumably you don't mind if they are all compiled together? Just

A simple example would help too.

Re: [classlib] testing guidlines -- support classes
Posted by Mikhail Loenko <ml...@gmail.com>.
All: support classes, impl-classpath, impl-boot, api-classpath, and
api-boot tests
are compiled into separate directories.
Support classes are compiled first, tests are compiled with support classes in
the classpath.
When the tests are running, support classes are accessible the same way as
the tests, i.e. via bootclasspath when bootclasspath tests are running and in
classpath when classpath tests are running.
If nobody object I can add to the doc something like:
"Support classes for the tests might be located both within the tests
and in the
support directory. Support classes that are shared between different
types of the
tests are recommended to be in the support dir.
When the bootclasspath tests are running all classes in the support
dir are available by bootclasspath. Otherwise they are available by
classpath."
via classpath.
Thanks,
Mikhail

No I don't think that will be clear.
So can you describe how the bootclasspath and classpath are set up for
running each set of tests? Maybe we should add that info to the document?
Also I'm left wondering how the support classes should be compiled?
Presumably they can be compiled against the APIs only?

That means that all the API tests will be in the bootclasspath when
impl/bootclasspath tests run? Will this run be clear enough?

Sure, but if the support classes themselves only use API then they can
be in the api dir right? i.e. we expect our impl tests to use some APIs
too.

I'm refereing to those support classes that are used by both API
and impl tests

I'm confused.
Either the support classes are used by API tests and only make API calls
into the code, or they are harmony implementation-specific; and either
they need to be loaded on the bootclasspath or not -- right?
So can't they just go into the existing bin directory classifications?
