Can this library be used with Java ?

[jdk2588]

I see the examples are with Scala, can this library be used with Java ?

[MrPowers]

Thanks for the great question @jdk2588 😄

It looks like it's possible to run a Scala JAR file in Java, but I don't know because I've never used Java.

You can download the latest JAR file here if you'd like to give it a shot. Let me know what you find!

[jdk2588]

Question should be "Is the library tested with Java" ?, they are from JVM family so it can used.

[MrPowers]

Unfortunately, the library is not tested with Java 😢

I'd add the tests, but I unfortunately don't know Java. Sorry about that.

If you are able to test the methods with Java, let me know and I'll be happy to merge any code with master 😄

[MrPowers]

If anyone is using this library with Java, please let me know how it is going for you! Adding a help wanted tag!

@MrPowers I recently picked up your Testing Spark Applications book. Unfortunately, my company insist on using Java to write our Spark apps. So will let you know if this library works out!

This ticket is a couple of years old. Do you know if anyone has had any success in Java?

Any new about this? A support for JUnit would be great

Hi,

better late then never :)

I just started using spark-fast-tests in Java project at work

Steps:

1. maven dependency

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.github.mrpowers</groupId>
       <artifactId>spark-fast-tests_2.12</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.0</version>
                    <scope>test</scope>
   </dependency>

2. public class MySparkTest implements DatasetComparer

3. write the test

4. assertSmallDatasetEquality(actual, expected, false, false, true, 10); since Java has no default params, you gotta set ignoreNullable, ignoreColumnNames, orderedComparison, truncate I've set them to defaults (from Scala) except for truncate, as my Datasets are small indeed

5. I haven't used other asserts yet, might update when I have ...

Cheers, Alexander

@aggubin can you add the code sample?

[aggubin]

@almogtavor see (2) and (4) above those are your code samples. (3) Create you test Dataset from CSV or TXT or String, compare it to the actual Dataset from your method under test

[MrPowers]

@aggubin - this is great! Thank you!!!

Any chance you can send me a PR with README instructions for Java users? Adding a little example to the JavaSpark example project would be awesome too. There are a lot of users that would appreciate this info!

Hi Matthew,

not sure what do you mean by PR, but here is .zip with sample code

two questions for you:

1. why you asserts have "actual" first and "expected" second, whereas junit asserts are "expected" then "actual"?

2. "assertSmallDatasetEquality()" shows only first two columns when test fails, is there a way to print all columns, like DF.show(false)?

Cheers, Alexander

@aggubin - here are responses:

not sure what do you mean by PR, but here is .zip with sample code

A PR is a "pull request"

why you asserts have "actual" first and "expected" second, whereas junit asserts are "expected" then "actual"?

Some test frameworks have actual first then expected second. The junit syntax wasn't considered when building this library.

2. "assertSmallDatasetEquality()" shows only first two columns when test fails, is there a way to print all columns, like DF.show(false)?

Feel free to open up a separate issue to discuss the output of assertSmallDatasetEquality in more detail. For purposes of this discussion, we're focusing on adding documentation for Java users. Changing the output of the lib would be a separate conversation.

Thanks for the questions.

[aggubin]

figured that "smallDataset" in "assertSmallDatasetEquality" is rather "narrow" dataset - 1-2 columns.

Using "assertApproximateDataFrameEquality" now to see row diffs:

assertApproximateDataFrameEquality(actual, expected, 1.0, false, false, false);

that produces OK-looking df that can be inspected

my responses inline:

I probably won't make a pull request just for Readme.md, feel free to use my original reply as the Readme, it has all the steps and the code I've sent for your Java subproject

Some test frameworks have actual first then expected second. The junit syntax wasn't considered when building this library.

ok
