I am currently writing a program that requires some sample JUnit tests. The objective of my program is to classify Movies alphabetically according to director. I am using the Comparator
class, which is going to be taking an ArrayList
of Movies
and sorting them alphabetically by director.
Issue 1 : cannot use the "add" method in my JUnit
testing class for adding the Movies
to an ArrayList
, any ideas why?
Issue 2 : how can I test the DirectorComparator
as a JUnit
test case?
Movie.java:
import java.util.*;
public class Movie {
String title;
String director;
public Movie(String title, String director) {
this.title = title;
this.director = director;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public static Comparator<Movie> DirectorComparator = new Comparator<Movie>() {
public int compare(Movie movie1, Movie movie2) {
String director1 = movie1.getDirector();
String director2 = movie2.getDirector();
return director1.compareTo(director2);
}
};
MovieTest.java
import org.junit.Test;
import java.util.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
public class MovieTest {
Movie movie1("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
Movie movie2("ET", "Spielberg, Steven");
Movie movie3("The Godfather", "Coppola, Francis Ford");
ArrayList<Movie> Movies = new ArrayList<Movie>();
Movies.add(movie1); <=== FIRST ISSUE, CANNOT USE "ADD"??
@test
<===== SECOND ISSUE, WHAT TYPE OF STRUCTURE TO USE FOR THE DIRECTORCOMPARATOR TEST CASE??
Any help is really appreciated here!
Firstly lets simplify a bit your comparator implementation:
public class Movie {
private String title;
private String director;
public Movie(String title, String director) {
this.title = title;
this.director = director;
}
public static final Comparator<Movie> DirectorComparator =
Comparator.comparing(movie -> movie.director);
}
Then lets write a tests for all possible cases:
public class MovieTest {
@Test
public void directorComparatorReturnsZeroWhenSameDirectors() {
// given
Movie movie1 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
Movie movie2 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
// when
final int actualResult = Movie.DirectorComparator.compare(movie1, movie2);
// then
Assert.assertEquals(0, actualResult);
}
@Test
public void directorComparatorReturnsNegativeWhenSecondDirectorGreater() {
// given
Movie movie1 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
Movie movie2 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Mucas, George");
// when
final int actualResult = Movie.DirectorComparator.compare(movie1, movie2);
// then
Assert.assertEquals(-1, actualResult);
}
@Test
public void directorComparatorReturnsPositiveWhenFirstDirectorGreater() {
// given
Movie movie1 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Mucas, George");
Movie movie2 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
// when
final int actualResult = Movie.DirectorComparator.compare(movie1, movie2);
// then
Assert.assertEquals(1, actualResult);
}
}
BTW, to have worked your original test you should add movies by this way:
Movie movie1 = new Movie("Star Wars", "Lucas, George");
Movie movie2 = new Movie("ET", "Spielberg, Steven");
Movie movie3 = new Movie("The Godfather", "Coppola, Francis Ford");
List<Movie> movies = new ArrayList<>();
movies.add(movie1);
movies.add(movie2);
movies.add(movie3);
But this collection is not related to DirectorComparator
at all. So, it is not needed in tests of DirectorComparator
.
