Adding instructions to set up test projects to work in eclipse that
depend on the unit-tests project. This is necessary so that the
generated logger can be found.
After I spent a whole afternoon trying to make IBM JDK to work under IDEA, I decided to add a note on the doc so other would have a chance to have it working faster than I did.
Lots of work on the test-suite in this commit including:
- Rename ServiceTestBase to ActiveMQTestBase
- Make AddressSettings fluent
- Remove unnecessary tearDown() implementations
- Use ActiveMQTestBase.create*Locator() instead of
ActiveMQClient.createServerLocator*(..)
- Use fluent ServerLocator methods
- Make sure all ActiveMQServers.newActiveMQServer invocations
are surrounded with addServer() where appropriate
- Create a few example tests to be references from hacking-guide
- Update hacking-guide with more info on writing tests
- Refactor config creation methods in ActiveMQTestBase
This has bothered me for awhile, but writing the hacking guide has
given me an opportunity to refactor some of our test-suite to be
simpler, more consistent, and easier to understand. This is
important if we want users to provide well-written tests. Our
test-suite is an important part of the code-base and it should be
easy to write good tests.
Basically I just consolidated CoreUnitTestCase, UnitTestCase, and
ServiceTestBase into a single class named ServiceTestBase. I also
simplified some of the configuration creation methods to reduce
duplicated code.
