java.lang.Object

org.dbunit.DatabaseTestCase

org.dbunit.DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase

All Implemented Interfaces:

junit.framework.Test, PrepAndExpectedTestCase

public class DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase
extends DBTestCase
implements PrepAndExpectedTestCase

Test case base class supporting prep data and expected data. Prep data is the data needed for the test to run. Expected data is the data needed to compare if the test ran successfully. Use this class in two ways:

1. Dependency inject it as its interface into a test class.

Configure a bean of its interface, injecting a IDatabaseTester and a DataFileLoader using the databaseTester and a dataFileLoader properties.

2. Extend it in a test class.

Obtain IDatabaseTester and DataFileLoader instances (possibly dependency injecting them into the test class) and set them accordingly, probably in a setup type of method, such as:

 @Before
 public void setDbunitTestDependencies() {
     setDatabaseTester(databaseTester);
     setDataFileLoader(dataFileLoader);
 }
 

To setup, execute, and clean up tests, call the configureTest(), preTest(), and postTest() methods. Note there is a preTest() convenience method that takes the same parameters as the configureTest() method; use it instead of using both configureTest() and preTest(). Where the test case calls them depends on data needs:

• For the whole test case, i.e. in setUp() and tearDown() or @Before and @After.
• In each test method.
• Or some combination of both test case setup/teardown and test methods.

When each test method requires different prep and expected data

If each test method requires its own prep and expected data, then the test methods will look something like the following:

 @Autowired
 private PrepAndExpectedTestCase tc;
 
 @Test
 public void testExample() throws Exception {
     try {
         final String[] prepDataFiles = {}; // define prep files
         final String[] expectedDataFiles = {}; // define expected files
         final VerifyTableDefinition[] tables = {}; // define tables to verify

         tc.preTest(tables, prepDataFiles, expectedDataFiles);

         // execute test
     } catch (Exception e) {
         log.error("Test error", e);
         throw e;
     } finally {
         tc.postTest();
     }
 }
 

When all test methods share the same prep and/or expected data

If each test method can share all of the prep and/or expected data, then use setUp() for the configureTest() and preTest() calls and tearDown() for the postTest() call. The methods will look something like the following:

 @Override
 protected void setUp() throws Exception {
     setDatabaseTester(databaseTester);
     setDataFileLoader(dataFileLoader);
 
     String[] prepDataFiles = {}; //define prep files
     String[] expectedDataFiles = {}; // define expected files
     VerifyTableDefinition[] tables = {}; //define tables to verify
 
     preTest(tables, prepDataFiles, expectedDataFiles);
 
     // call this if overriding setUp() and databaseTester & dataFileLoader are already set.
     super.setUp();
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
     postTest();
     super.tearDown();
 }
 
 @Test
 public void testExample() throws Exception {
     // execute test
 }
 

Note that it is unlikely that all test methods can share the same expected data.

Sharing common (but not all) prep or expected data among test methods.

Put common data in one or more files and pass the needed ones in the correct data file array.

Notes

1. For additional examples, refer to the ITs (listed in the See Also section).
2. To change the setup or teardown operation (e.g. change the teardown to org.dbunit.operation.DatabaseOperation.DELETE_ALL), set the setUpOperation or tearDownOperation property on the databaseTester.
3. To set DatabaseConfig features/properties, one way is to extend this class and override the setUpDatabaseConfig(DatabaseConfig config) method from DatabaseTestCase.
