Running tests

There are two ways to run tests.

  • Method 1: Using IntelliJ JUnit test runner
    • To run all tests, right-click on the src/test/java folder and choose Run 'All Tests'
    • To run a subset of tests, you can right-click on a test package, test class, or a test and choose Run 'ABC'
  • Method 2: Using Gradle
    • Open a console and run the command gradlew clean test (Mac/Linux: ./gradlew clean test)

:link: Link: Read this Gradle Tutorial from the se-edu/guides to learn more about using Gradle.

Types of tests

This project has three types of tests:

  1. Unit tests targeting the lowest level methods/classes.
    e.g. seedu.address.commons.StringUtilTest
  2. Integration tests that are checking the integration of multiple code units (those code units are assumed to be working).
    e.g. seedu.address.storage.StorageManagerTest
  3. Hybrids of unit and integration tests. These test are checking multiple code units as well as how the are connected together.
    e.g. seedu.address.logic.LogicManagerTest

Known Quirks

When running unit test for command parsers, testing for blank preamble requires the DESC to start with a “ “, else the first command gets swallowed into the preamble

Example:

In DeleteApptCommandParser, the unit test for testing blank preamble fails with:

"@d/2024-12-12 @t/1234-1400 i/S1234567i"

This will set the preamble to “@d/2024-12-12” and then an invalid command is thrown because there is no @d/ value.

Instead, this works:

" @d/2024-12-12 @t/1234-1400 i/S1234567i" 
 ^ note extra preceding space

—— In normal application flow, this does not raise any issues since the ArgumentTokenizer immediately chops at the end of the command word, which includes the space right after the command word. Therefore, this is not considered a bug, and is intended.

 command  arg-string sent to ArgumentTokenizer
 |-----||--------------------------------------|
"delAppt @d/2024-12-12 @t/1234-1400 i/S1234567i"
        ^
        note: space is included in raw argument string
