Testing With Our Test Context

With our test contacts ready to rock, let's get to writing these tests. 0:00 The first thing we'll do is Autowire our service under test that is 0:04 the Weather Service. 0:08 So I'll create an Autowired field here Weather Service, and I'll name it service. 0:09 Next, let's tell about our test methods. 0:17 Now, we could go crazy testing the service that utilizes the external forecast at 0:20 IO API. 0:24 Here, we'll just test a few pieces of the actual API response. 0:26 First, we'll make sure that the latitude and longitude that come back 0:30 from the API response match what we included in the request. 0:32 The reason I'm doing this is because I want to make sure that the forecast data 0:36 I'm getting back is actually for 0:39 the location I requested and not some other location. 0:40 So, here's that method stub. 0:44 We'll say it's a test method. 0:46 Public void, and we want to test if 0:48 findByLocation_ShouldReturnSameCoords. 0:53 Next, let's make sure we get back eight days of forecast data. 1:02 So next, I'll right a test method that's called findByLocation, and 1:06 it should return 8DaysForecastData. 1:15 Now, that's today and the next seven days. 1:22 Cool. 1:28 And finally, 1:30 let's make a test that ensures we can get back our current conditions. 1:31 So, this test method, will be called public 1:35 void findByLocation_ShouldReturnCurrentCondit- 1:40 ions Great. 1:46 Now keep in mind that the purpose of these tests isn't so 1:51 much to ensure that the weather API works, that's for the developers of that API. 1:54 Rather this is to ensure that our application properly 1:58 captures those results and sticks the results into the proper objects. 2:01 Okay, that said, let's start in on the first method. 2:06 So that should be the findByLocation_ShouldReturnSameCoords. 2:10 Since we'll need a set of latitude and longitude coordinates to make these 2:14 requests, let's create a field for that and set it up in the before method. 2:18 So right here, I'll say private Location and abbreviate it loc. 2:22 Of course the wild thing to do would be to name it Tone Loc. 2:29 Anyway let's import this and go here hit option enter and 2:33 want to make sure I pick my object right here. 2:38 There it is cool. 2:42 And let's create a before method to set that up. 2:44 Before. 2:47 So public void set up sometimes you'll see this U capitalized. 2:49 Doesn't really matter as long as it's annotated with before. 2:54 And we'll say loc = new Location and you can pass in whatever coordinates you like. 2:57 I've got a set of coordinates that point to Chicago, somewhere in Chicago at least. 3:04 9403795. 3:10 And -87.6531804 and 3:15 then a bunch of 9's. 3:21 Cool, and as we're fetching the data, 3:27 we're going to get back a weather object so let's create a field for that and 3:28 make the service call that stores a weather object into it. 3:31 So the field, I'll make right here private Weather weather, 3:34 and I will make that service call right here. 3:39 Since in all of these tests I'm going to be making a call to that find by location 3:44 method of the service. 3:48 So I'll say, weather = service.findByLocation and 3:50 I'll pass it loc or Tone Loc, whatever you named it. 3:54 Now, to test the coordinates in the test method, I'll use Hamcrest and 4:00 test the latitude and longitude separately. 4:03 So in here I will assertThat and we'll say that the weather.getlatitude and 4:06 let's get that assertThat method imported here and 4:13 that comes from hamcrest right here. 4:19 Cool. 4:22 I want to assert that weather.getlatitude 4:22 is close to the latitude that I made the API call with. 4:27 Now since geo coordinates may not be exact, 4:32 we can use a handy hamcrest matcher called close to. 4:34 That checks whether or not the actual value is close to an expected value 4:38 within a specified margin of error. 4:42 And since I'll be reusing this margin of error for longitude, 4:44 I'll quickly create a class field for that. 4:46 So up here, I'll say private static final double. 4:48 I'll call it ERROR_GEO. 4:55 Zero point, I don't know, I'll make it a reasonably precise value. 5:00 And now here's how we use that CloseTo method. 5:06 So, I'll say, closeTo, okay, 5:11 loc.getLongitude, ERROR_GEO. 5:16 Okay, now we need to import this closeTo method. 5:23 So, that's a static import of the matchers.closeTo method and there we go. 5:25 We want to assert that this latitude that we get back in the weather object which is 5:32 a result of the service call, we want to assert that the latitude is closeTo 5:37 the longitude we made the call with within this margin of error. 5:44 Of course, we wanna check latitude with latitude. 5:49 So I should probably change this to latitude. 5:51 Cool. 5:53 Now let's copy and paste this for longitude. 5:55 So I'll copy this and I will paste this, changing it to longitude. 5:57 All right, let's see if this thing runs with our test context. 6:06 So, again, with the editor in focus, I'll hit control, shift, R. 6:08 Now, you'll see a little more output this time as spring loads only 6:13 the specified components from your test context. 6:16 And, great. 6:19 Still green. 6:20 Next test. 6:22 Let me collapse this. 6:23 And in our next test, let's assert that 6:26 we get eight days of forecast data. 6:30 So we want to assert that when we get the daily forecast data, 6:35 that this list has the size of eight. 6:41 Lots of stuff you can do with these Hamcrest matchers. 6:47 Again, these matchers are really nice in that you can create some 6:50 cool readable code here. 6:53 So we're going to assert that this list has this size. 6:55 Okay, let's run that again. 7:01 Again, you'll see a lot of output from your test context being loaded and 7:05 it looks like indeed our second test passed on to the last method here. 7:10 For this one, we wanna make sure that the data we get back is time stamped with 7:17 the current time within a reasonable margin of error. 7:20 Let's create a field for that error margin too, 7:23 and this one will be expressed in milliseconds. 7:25 So, I'll go right below this one, and I'll say private static final 7:28 double ERROR_TIME this time. 7:32 And again it's in milliseconds. 7:37 So, say as long as it's in within five seconds then I'll be cool with that. 7:38 Now the way will do this is that will first grab the current time 7:43 as an instant object. 7:46 So we’ll say instant. 7:48 I'll call it now equals Instant.now. 7:50 Excellent. 7:53 Then we'll calculate the duration between that instant and 7:54 the instant from the weather data returned by the service. 7:58 So let's create a variable for that. 8:01 So the duration will say as duration.between. 8:03 We'll say it's between now and 8:08 weather.getCurrently().getTime and 8:11 we will convert that to milliseconds, toMillis(). 8:17 So we're going to get the duration between now and 8:23 whatever time stamp comes back expressed in milliseconds. 8:27 Storing that into the double variable we have named duration. 8:31 And finally, we will assertThat the duration, again using this closeTo method, 8:35 the duration is close to 0 within this margin of error. 8:42 All righty, with our final piece of test code written for 8:48 the weather service, let's fire it up one more time. 8:51 Our test contacts loading and it looks like all three tests passed. 8:56 Boom, hey we're seeing a lot of green today, but 9:02 I guarantee you that the grass isn't always this green. 9:04 There might be a lot of red as you try to get these working on your machine, 9:08 whether it's for this project or for another. 9:11 But hey keep at it. 9:13 You'll eventually get there. 9:14
