Hi Roman,
I really like the idea behind domain object builders.
Maybe a silly question, but how much effort would it take
to autogenerate some "basic" builders from domain objects?
(without DAO/Integration test related stuff like prePersist
override etc.)
From the "basic" builders we could derive DAO/Integration
ones as subclasses. This way, the domain object specific
stuff wouldn't have to be kept in sync by hand, and we can
subclass only if we need to make a builder DAO/Integration
test aware.

Will that replace the current DAO tests running in CI?
For now no. What you can do with the builders reagarding to the DAO tests is
creating test scenarios for the database. So instead of adding entities to
the fixture file you can set up clean sceanrios for your tests just with the
builders in @Test or @Before methods.
Integration tests are using Arqullian with the spring transaction manager and
will probably an extra CI job which passes the right maven flags. Arquillian
is nice here because we are much closer to a real JBoss than with Spring.
The reason why we do not use Arquillian and only the builders for the DAO
test is that you would need a full JBoss downloaded in the background to
give us a transaction manager which does the same thing as springs
transaction manager does during the build.
The JBoss people are currently working on modularizing all their JBoss
libraries (for JBoss Swarm) and I hope that in the future we can drop the
spring transaction manager and do everything with arquillian and the JBoss
transaction manager.

Hi all,
In [1] you can find some patches which are meant to improve the test writing
experience in ovirt-engine.
They provide the following things:
A) Domain Object builders which can be used for creating and/or persisting
domain objects [2]
B) DAO testing without writing fixtures because of the builders
C) Integration testing for commands in conjunction with a real database
Arquillian, injectable commands and the builders [3]
# How to run what?
A) In normal unit tests just create a new instance of a builder and use it.
This should help us to get rid of all the small createDefaultVm(),
createHostWithX() helper methods in our tests.
B) In dao tests just inject them and go ahead. The advantage of not using the
fixture file is that we can now set up clean scenarios for every test in a
setup method. See example 2 below on how easy it is to set up a new cluster.
C) Arquillian integration tests need to be marked with
"(a)Category(IntegrationTest.class)" and can inherit from
TransactionalTestBase. The @Category annotation makes sure that the
integration tests are only run when
mvn clean verify -DskipITs=false
is invoked. Note that these tests are then executed in the integration test
phase of maven. For them we use the maven-failsafe-plugin[5] which will also
make sure that the testing database is up to date. See [4] for more details.
# Examples
1) Add a running VM to a host, persist everything to the database and load
all VMs which are running on the host:
VDS host = vdsBuilder.cluster(persistedCluster).persist();
vmBuilder.host(host).up().persist();
List<VM> vms = vmDao.getAllRunningForVds(host.getId());
2) Add 10 hosts with 1 GB of RAM to a cluster, persist the hosts to the
database in a DAO test:
public class MyHostDaoTest extends BaseDaoTestCase {
@Inject
private VdsBuilder vdsBuilder;
@Test
public void createHosts() {
VdsBuilder builder =
vdsBuilder.cluster(persistedCluster).physicalMemory(1000);
for (int x =0; x < 10; x++){
builder.id (Guid.newGuid()).persist();
}
}
}
3) Full integration test with arquillian and the database
@Category(IntegrationTest.class)
public class VmDaoIntegrationTest extends TransactionalTestBase {
@Inject
VmDao vmDao;
private final Guid VM1_GUID =
Guid.createGuidFromString("0fe4bc81-5999-4ab6-80f8-7a4a2d4bfacd");
@Deployment
public static JavaArchive deploy(){
return createDeployment();
}
@Test
public void shouldFailOnExistingEntity() {
vmBuilder.id(VM1_GUID).cluster(clusterBuilder.reset().persist()).persist();
// This uses assertThat from assertj:
assertThat(vmDao.get(VM1_GUID)).isNotNull();
}
}
4) Using the builders in a normal unit test without a database:
VM vm = new VmBuilder().id(Guid.newGuid()).up().build();
# How to add your own Domain objects?
There are just a few simple rules:
1) Your builder should extend org.ovirt.engine.core.builder.AbstractBuilder
2) Make sure that you only access DAOs injected into the builder during
#prePersist() and #persist(). This allows to use the #build() method also
without injections
3) #prePersist() should set all fields which are necessary to suffice
database constraints. The fields should only be set if they are not already
set before by the builder. When following this rule we can always persist
new objects to the database by simply calling myBuilder.reset().persist().
4) Mark your builder with @Repository to make them useable for our Spring DAO
tests and our Arquillian integration tests.
So have a look at the patches at [1] and let me know what you think about
them.
Best Regards and happy testing,
Roman
