public abstract class TestSupport
extends TestCase

Provides support for tests.

Field Summary

protected File	BASEDIR The base-directory which tests should be run from.
protected Log	log Instance logger which tests should use to produce tracing information.

Constructor Summary

protected	TestSupport() Default constructor.
protected	TestSupport(String name) Constructor for tests that specify a specific test name.

Method Summary

protected File	getBaseDir() Determine the value of ${basedir}, which should be the base directory of the module which the concreate test class is defined in.
protected File	resolveFile(String path) Resolve the given path to a file rooted to BASEDIR.
protected String	resolvePath(String path) Resolve the given path to a path rooted to BASEDIR.

Field Detail

BASEDIR

protected final File BASEDIR

The base-directory which tests should be run from.

See Also:

This field is initialized from the return of this method on instance construction.

log

protected Log log

Instance logger which tests should use to produce tracing information.

Unless you have a really good reason to, do not change this field from your sub-class. And if you do, please document why you have done so.

Constructor Detail

TestSupport

protected TestSupport(String name)

Constructor for tests that specify a specific test name.

See Also:

This is the prefered constructor for sub-classes to use.

TestSupport

protected TestSupport()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

getBaseDir

protected final File getBaseDir()

Determine the value of ${basedir}, which should be the base directory of the module which the concreate test class is defined in.

If The system property basedir is already set, then that value is used, otherwise we determine the value from the codesource of the containing concrete class and set the basedir system property to that value.

Returns:

The base directory of the module which contains the concreate test class.

See Also:

This field is always initialized to the value which this method returns.

resolveFile

protected final File resolveFile(String path)

Resolve the given path to a file rooted to BASEDIR.

Parameters:

path - The path to resolve.

Returns:

The resolved file for the given path.

resolvePath

protected final String resolvePath(String path)

Resolve the given path to a path rooted to BASEDIR.

Parameters:

path - The path to resolve.

Returns:

The resolved path for the given path.
