TestNG support

[cezarykluczynski]

Hi.

Is there any chance for TestNG support?

[stefanbirkner]

I have plans for a Java 8 version of this library that does not need JUnit rules. Which version of Java do you use?

[cezarykluczynski]

@stefanbirkner It would be cool if this library could be framework-agnostic. I use Java 8.

[stefanbirkner]

It will. Unfortunately it will not be as easy to use as the rules and TestNG is does not have any extension points like rules. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6099633/does-testng-support-something-like-junit4s-rule)

[stefanbirkner]

Which rule are you looking for foremost?

[cezarykluczynski]

@stefanbirkner As for now, I'm using ExpectedSystemExit. I haven't found any other way to test code that calls System.exit().

[stefanbirkner]

I keep you updated on the progress of the new library. Hopefully I can provide a first release for testing System.exti() in the next few days.

@stefanbirkner Thanks!

[stefanbirkner]

Would this work for you:

@Test
public void test() {
  int statusCode = catchSystemExit(() -> {
    //here comes your code that calls System.exit(...)
  });
  assertEquals(0, statusCode);
}

@stefanbirkner Sure, looks right.

I started to create a library called System Lambda that solves the same testing problems like System Rules but without a dependency to a test framework. If that solves your problem, I will not provide a specific TestNG extension.

It will. Unfortunately it will not be as easy to use as the rules and TestNG is does not have any extension points like rules. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6099633/does-testng-support-something-like-junit4s-rule)

Are TestNG listeners suitable? http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#testng-listeners
