kotlinlang #tornadofx

If you mean running just a specific view you can do it by clicking the tornado icon next to the class declaration of the view, and the clicking _Run 'your_view'_ https://gyazo.com/bbd3b6bdd77909e793f0ac007e14004f

The only thing is that sometimes the icon doesn't appears or it fails to launch. To fix the last problem i just delete the corresponding Run configuration and re-run it

not really, more like a set of tools to be able to write unit tests around tornadoFX components

I have a few utils that I wrote myself to mock and register components, but would be nice to have a library for that 🙂

p.s. mocking components seems to be a huge pain due to state in those ( paramsProperty, etc.)

did anyone do unit testing with tornadofx?

@Romanow uploaded a file: Building a new component

does anyone know why when we retrieve a component we set the paramsProperty.value to it? Seeing that a component is always a singleton for a scope - wouldn't this contaminate the state of the component in case we inject the same component but with different parameters?

right, so if you just use the deligate then everything is ok

@Romanow what do you need to mock? I tend to test view behavior using testfx (+ FXToolkit) by starting a new application with the view under test as the root

Like controllers and stuff, for example mock out the controller so it does not do a rest call for login but returned an error to test if the UI shows the correct message

Romanow

Or the other way arround, so that it actually returns true with no backend running

@Romanow I use mocks to isolate my UI components exactly like you describe. Still need to start up an App, but the key is a bit of test setup so that app will inject your mocks

Here's an example https://github.com/caeos/coner-worker/blob/master/src/test/kotlin/org/coner/worker/page/EstablishConnectionTest.kt

@Carlton Whitehead thanks for the pointer! I had the injection part covered, but could not get mockito to mock controllers correctly due to there being properties on controllers that were not "open". Will check out the io.mockk lib

Having a really weird problem, is there any reason moved below would be failing to compile with

Type mismatch: inferred type is Color but MultiValue<Paint> was expected

Copy code

style {
    backgroundColor = c(0, 0, 0, 0.0)
}

@plebian Yes, it requires a multivalue, so you need to assign a single value with

+=

, not just
