I always wanted to test the parameters being passed in the forward method in a controller in my unit tests.
\nSuppose we have any controller like:<\/p>\n
[java]
\nclass DemoController {
\ndef anyAction() {
\n forward(controller: “demo”, action: “test”, params: [param1: “1”])
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n
[\/java]<\/p>\n
to test this forward action, we first need to mock the forward method.<\/p>\n
To do so, all we require is:<\/p>\n
[java]
\ndef fwdArgs
\ncontroller.metaClass.forward = { Map map ->
\n fwdArgs = map
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
to be added in the setup.<\/p>\n
To test the params, all we need to do is:<\/p>\n
[java]
\nfwdArgs.params.param1
\nfwdArgs.controller==’demo’
\nfwdArgs.action==’test’
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
Using this we would be able to test the params being passed in the forward method.<\/p>\n
Here is the complete test case :<\/p>\n
[java]
\n@TestFor(DemoController)
\nclass DemoControllerSpec extends Specification {<\/p>\n
void “test anyAction”() {
\n setup:
\n def fwdArgs
\n controller.metaClass.forward = { Map map ->
\n fwdArgs = map
\n }<\/p>\n
when:
\n controller.anyAction()<\/p>\n
then:
\n fwdArgs.params.param1
\n fwdArgs.controller==’demo’
\n fwdArgs.action==’test’<\/p>\n
}
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
