fling

A test framework for java.

Usage

Write some tests and annotate your test methods with TestGroup. Your test classes may have a constructor as long as it has no parameters.

public class FooTest {
    @TestGroup(description = "Testing string")
    public void test(TestInitiator suite) {
        String s = "foo";
        suite.it("should have a length of 3")
            .expect(s.length())
            .toBe(3);
        suite.it("should not be 'bar'")
            .expect(s).not()
            .toBe("bar");
        suite.it("should throw")
            .expect(s.chars().limit(-1))
            .toThrow(IllegalArgumentException.class);
    }
}

Compile your test classes and run fling.

$ java -jar fling.jar $classpaths

$classpaths is a colon (:) separated list of classpaths. fling will recursively find all methods with the TestGroup annotation, in all classes, starting from the given classpaths.

Options

java -jar fling.jar <classpath>[:<classpath>...] [OPTIONS...]

• --exclude=<GLOB>[:<GLOB>...]
  • A colon separated list of glob patterns matching files that should be excluded from the test.
• --include=<GLOB>[:<GLOB>...]
  • A colon separated list of glob patterns matching files that should be included. If this option is present the provided list of glob patterns will work as a whitelist: any tests not matched by the given patterns will be excluded.
• --loglevel=<INT>
  • The log level controls how verbose the output is. The different levels are:
    • 0: NOTHING
    • 1: ERROR - show errors only
    • 2: INFO - show simplified test results
    • 3: TEST_STATUS - show status for each individual test
    • 4: TEST_STDOUT - show everything printed to stdout during tests
    • >=5: ALL - default level
