How to test a rule set in a unit test?

[Louis Pace]

Consider the following three files:

Widget.meta
<Class>
<Attributes>
<Attribute name=”x” type=”string”/>
<Attribute name=”y” type=”string” value=”(rules &quot;WidgetRules&quot;)”/>
</Attributes>
</Class>

WidgetRules.ruleset
<RuleSet>
<Rule name=”rule”>
<Script><![CDATA[(this’y (string-append “x = ” (this’x)))]]></Script>
</Rule>
</RuleSet>

WidgetTest.utest
<UnitTest>
<TestCase name=”testCase”><![CDATA[(define t (Widget’new (: x “Apple”)))
(assert-equal “x = Apple” (t’y))
]]></TestCase>
</UnitTest>

If I run the following in a scratchpad:
(define t (Widget’new (: x “Apple”)))
(logger ‘info (t’y))

Then I correctly see:
> ; 19:19:50,979 INFO [GlobalEnvironment] (NexJ Main) x = Apple

However, the unit test fails with
nexj.core.scripting.ScriptingError: Unknown rule set “WidgetRules”. (err.rules.unknownSet)
at nexj.core.scripting.Intrinsic$148.invoke(Intrinsic.java:4439)
at SysRuleSet.generate(name)$main(class:SysRuleSet.generate(name)$main:11)
at WidgetTest.testCase(unittest:WidgetTest.testCase:2)

I know that a reseed is required to load rulesets, but is a reseed not done at the beginning of each unit test? How does one test a rule set in a unit test?

Thanks!

Hi Louis,

Can you confirm what plugin version you are using for NexJ Studio?

Also can you please right click on the unit-test on the model view and check for the options “by pass recreate, cache seed data”  ? I usually keep them un-checked for my local unit-testing during these kind of changes.

Regards,

FYI, the plugin version is 13.2.84.000. However, the two options that you mentioned were the culprits. Disabling these allowed the unit test to run as expected.

Thank you very much!
