Interface GeneratorRegistry

All Known Implementing Classes:

MapperTest, PropertyAwareTest, ValueObjectTest

public interface GeneratorRegistry

Interface providing the capability for handling the TypedGeneratorRegistry programmatically. Implementors of this interface, usually the base test-classes, are supposed to take care about the runtime handling of the TypedGeneratorRegistry The runtime handling consists of three steps

• Initialize TypedGeneratorRegistry with the basic Java-types, by calling TypedGeneratorRegistry.registerBasicTypes() usually called before all tests.
• Pick up all additional configured TypedGenerator and register them to the TypedGeneratorRegistry, see Configuration
• Tear down / clear TypedGeneratorRegistry by calling TypedGeneratorRegistry.clear() using called in the context after all tests.

Configuration

• PropertyMetadata: The actual property values are generated using TypedGenerators, see PropertyConfig.generator() . They can be tweaked in multiple ways, see de.cuioss.test.valueobjects.api.generator for details
• In case the actual test-class implements TypedGenerator itself it will implicitly registered as TypedGenerator at TypedGeneratorRegistry
• In cases you can not use the PropertyGenerator annotation, e.g. if you have instances of TypedGenerator but not types you can override registerAdditionalGenerators().

Method Details

registerAdditionalGenerators

default List<de.cuioss.test.generator.TypedGenerator<?>> registerAdditionalGenerators()

Callback method for registering additional generator, in cases you can not use the PropertyGenerator annotation, e.g. if you have instances of TypedGenerator but not types. The default implementation solely return a mutable empty List, must therefore not be considered using super

Returns:

A list of TypedGenerators to be registered
