The agenda of this blog is to demonstrate how to write basic validation test cases for domain class in grails application.<\/p>\n

Create a domain class User with some basic constraints.<\/p>\n

[java]
\npackage com.ttn.testing<\/p>\n

class User {
\nString emailId
\nString name<\/p>\n

static constraints = {
\nemailId nullable: false, blank: false
\nname nullable: true, blank: false, minSize: 3, maxSize: 20
\n\t}
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

Add dependencies for spock in BuildConfig.groovy
\n[java]
\ndependencies {
\ntest "org.spockframework:spock-grails-support:0.7-groovy-2.0"
\n}<\/p>\n

plugins {
\ntest(":spock:0.7") {
\nexclude "spock-grails-support"
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

documentation of spock plugin : https:\/\/grails.org\/plugin\/spock<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Test case for required fields validation.<\/p>\n

[java]
\n@Unroll("test for required field validation")
\ndef "test for required field validation"() {<\/p>\n

when: "Create user instance"
\nUser user = new User(emailId: emailId)<\/p>\n

then: "emailId should not be null"
\nuser.validate() == expectedResult<\/p>\n

where:
\ntestDescription\t\t| emailId | expectedResult
\n"valid test" | ‘sanchit@sanchit.com’| true
\n"null test" | null | false
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

2. Test case for min length validation<\/p>\n

[java]
\n@Unroll("min length validation")
\ndef "min length validation"() {<\/p>\n

when: "Create user instance"
\nUser user = new User(emailId: "sanchit@sanchit.com", name: name)<\/p>\n

then: "name minimun of 3 char"
\nuser.validate() == expectation<\/p>\n

where:
\ntestDescription\t\t| name | expectation
\n"valid test" | "sanchit" | true
\n"min length test" | "sa" | false
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

Grails automatically create a UserSpec.groovy in test\/unit folder for writing the test cases.<\/p>\n

Command to run test cases : grails test-app unit: User<\/p>\n

Above command execute the test case, generate the report and return the path of report file.
\nex-
\nTests PASSED – view reports in
\n\/home\/sanchit\/work\/workspace\/projects\/testingWithSpock\/target\/test-reports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Copy the path and open it in browser to see the test report.<\/p>\n

In this way we can validate the domain class constraints using spock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
