Griffon resource loading differences between run-app and test-app - file-io

I am fairly new to Griffon and have some experience with Grails.
I have a problem loading a file from the resources directory.
I am using Griffon version 1.4.0.
When I run griffon run-app the following code (inside a Service) to get the location of an XML file works fine:
URL resource = getResourceAsURL('schema.xsd')
assert resource != null : "schema cannot be located"
When I run griffon test-app however the same code produces an assertion error because the returned URL is null. Same behaviour with getResourceAsStream().
This happens in the unit test of said service.
I put the file in ./griffon-app/resources.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to copy all resources from production to some test resources folder, do I have to edit the build-configuration?
Thanks in advance!
Edit as suggested below I filed a bug report in the griffon-projects issue tracker.

araxn1d is correct, running the tests in integration mode will give you the right answer because the full application gets bootstrapped before tests are run. Now, running this kind of test (a unit test that depends on resources being available in the classpath) encounters a problem because the classpath is not setup correctly. Executing the following command
griffon -Dgriffon.cli.verbose=true test-app --unit --compileTrace=true
will output all classpaths. There you can see that the resources directory points to $USER_HOME/.griffon/1.4.0/projects/<project_name>/resources. If you inspect that directory you'll find the file you're looking for inside griffon-app/resources. This means the test classpath is not accurately configured as it should be $USER_HOME/.griffon/1.4.0/projects/<project_name>/resources/griffon-app/resources instead. This is clearly a bug, most likely found in the $GRIFFON_HOME/scripts/_GriffonClasspath.groovy script. Could you please file a JIRA http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/griffon ticket for it? Thanks!

You should run test-app to run your unit tests. In this case you should mock any refers to real files, otherwise you should implement Integration Tests. Pls see Griffon Testing. Integration tests differ from unit tests in that you have full access to the Griffon application within the test.

Getting 'Could not find test files' Error when attempting to run TestCafe tests

I'm trying to run some TestCafe tests from our build server, but getting the following error...
"Could not find test files at the following location: "C:\Testing\TestCafe".
Check patterns for errors:
tests/my-test.ts
or launch TestCafe from a different directory."
I did have them running or able to be found on this machine previously, but others have taken over the test coding and changed the structure a bit when moving it to a Git repository. Now when I grab the tests from Git and try to run, the problem presents itself. I'm not sure if there is something in a config file that needs adjustment but don't know where to start looking.
The intention is to have it part of our CI process, but the problem is also seen when I attempt to run the tests from the command line. The build process does install TestCafe, but there is something strange around this as well.
When the build failes with the can't find tests error, if I try to run the following command in the proper location...
tescafe chrome tests/my-test.ts
... I get, 'testcafe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Just can't understand why I can't get these tests running. TestCafe setup was pretty much easy previously.
ADDENDUM: I've added a screenshot of the working directory where I cd to and run the testcafe command as well as the tests subdirectory containing the test I'm trying to run.
Any help is appreciated!!
testcafe chrome tests/my-test.ts is just a template; it isn't a real path to your tests. This error means that the path that you set in CLI is wrong, and there aren't any tests. You need to:
Find out where you start CLI. Please attach a screenshot to your question.
Define an absolute path to tests or a path relative to the place where CLI was started. Please share a screenshot of your project tree where the directory with tests is open.
Also, you missed t in the tescafe chrome tests/my-test.ts command. It should be tesTcafe chrome tests/my-test.ts. That is why you get the "'tescafe' is not recognized as an internal or external command" error.
I was able to get things working by starting from scratch. I uninstalled TestCafe and cleaned the working folder. During next build it was fine. I'm sure I've tried this several times, but it just started working.
One positive that came out of it was that I discovered a typo in a test file name, which was also causing issues finding the test I was using to check testing setup.
Thanks for helping!!

IntelliJ, Cucumber, Java and Selenium - no tests are starting

First, important note: This is a project in which the Selenium/Cucumber test suite is working. It's working locally for the developers, and it's working in the Tekton environment.
Second: I have an identical IntelliJ environment as the developers. And other Selenium/Cucumber projects are running fine on my local machine.
When a try to run a fresh copy of the project in question locally, none of the tests start. And, there is no error message.
Normally, this will be cause by missing Glue parameters in the Run/Debug configuration, since IntelliJ for some reason often is unable to add these automatically. This is not the case here.
The test runner when I try to start a specific scenario:
Sorry for the language. The tests are all in Norwegian. But I don't think that matters for seeing the problem.
Normally, when there is an actual error regarding the test step - in the case "Gitt jeg er en vanlig søker" - there would be some info to the right of the steps overview. This is now blank, as can be seen. So, the test stes aren't even started.
The run/debug configuration:
e2e.cucumber.felles is the package where the Java file with the first step definition is located. So, that's not the reason.
Any ideas?

Display selenese-runner results in Jenkins

As I am implementing an automated way to GUI test our webapplication with selenium I ran into some issues.
I am using selenese-runner to execute our Selenium test suites, created with Selenium IDE as a post build action in Jenkins.
This works perfeclty fine, as the build fails when something is wrong, and the build succeeds if all tests are passed. And the results are stored on a per build basis as HTML files, generated be selenese-runner.
My problem is however, that I seem to be unable to find a way, how to display these results in the respective jenkins build.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue. Or maybe I am on the wrong path at all?
Your help is highly appreciated!
I believe the JUnit plugin should do what you want, but it doesn't work for me.
My config uses this shell script to run the tests (you can see the names of all my test suites):
/usr/bin/Xvfb &
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
cd ${WORKSPACE}
java -jar ./test/selenium/bin/selenese-runner.jar --baseurl http://${testenvironment} --screenshot-on-fail ./seleniumResults/ --html-result ./seleniumResults/ ./test/selenium/Search_TestSuite.html ./test/selenium/Admin_RegisteredUser_Suite.html ./test/selenium/Admin_InternalUser_Suite.html ./test/selenium/PortfolioAgency_Suite.html ./test/selenium/FOAdmin_Suite.html ./test/selenium/PublicWebsite_Suite.html ./test/selenium/SystemAdmin_Content_Suite.html ./test/selenium/SystemAdmin_MetaData_Suite.html
killall Xvfb
And I can see the result of the most recent test (you can see the name of my jenkins task folder)
http://<JENKINS.MY.COMPANY>/job/seleniumRegressionTest/ws/seleniumResults/index.html
Earlier tests are all saved on the Jenkins server, so I can view them if I need to.

Running WEbDriver tests

So i have been writing Selenium tests for a while now and i have been running the only from the IDE untill now.
i would like to be able to write a script that runs all my tests sequentialy.
I am using the testng framework with eclipse and selenium-2.0b3 jar.
What i'd like is eventually to have a file like "runSeleniumTests.bat" witch just runs them and gives me some sort of report when in finishes.
if anyone has an idea, it will be very greatly appreciated, thanks :)
This has 4 options for how to run testng tests the xml file should include all your tests
http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#running-testng
You could also try to use maven and as long as your tests are annotated correctly and in /src/test/java they will all be run for you with mvn integration-test (as long as you have the proper dependencies defined and I believe maven-surefire-plugin). This might be more difficult to setup initially but usually pays off.

Maven reporting plugins do not execute if a unit test failure occurs

None of the plugins in the reporting section of Maven execute if there is a unit test failure.
I found that I can set maven.test.failure.ignore=true here - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-247 The problem to this approach is now our hudson builds are successful even if there are unit test failures.
What I would really like to do is set the reporting plugin maven-surefire-report-plugin to run with the build plugins on a phase but I can't get this to work.
Any idea on how to get the Maven reporting plugins to execute if a unit test failure occurs?
Firstly run: mvn test OR mvn install. Then, if the tests fail, please run the following target to generate the reports for the test results executed above: mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true surefire-report:report
In the link you posted:
With the latest version (2.1.2), I get
a message saying that "There are some
test failure," but I get no reports
anywhere whether or not I specify that
variable, or whether or not I specify
"testFailureIgnore" in the plugin
config. I got the reports fine with
2.0, but not with 2.1.2.
Do you need version 2,1 or can you work with a 2.0 version of Maven?
The error you see with 2.1.2 is because of forkmode settings which you need to perform in the plugin.
set forkmode=never and try it (I susppect there might problem in your useSystemclassloader property).
Otherwise make use of maven-surefire plugin version 2.5 which should definitel work and generate surefire rpeorts even though few test fails.
Please make use of surefire-report:report-only plugin if the reports are already generated after execution.
I had the same issue and it is due to a wrong call to the report plugin.
The correct execution of maven command is: mvn surefire-report:report
This will run the test phase by itself and if it fails it will generate the report anyway.
Check the documentation:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-report-plugin/report-mojo.html
Hope this helps!! :D
