Grails unit & integration tests file name conflict using Intellij IDE - unit-testing

I use Intellij(ultra version) IDE to develop Grails application.
If I have a controller named UserController and then use Intellij to create both unit and integration tests for this.
Intellij will create two files have same name but in different folder.
e.g /unit/xxx/yyy/UserControllerSpec
/integration/xxx/yyy/UserControllerSpec
However, Intellij IDE has some error alert for file already exists. I know it is acceptable and I run the tests pass. Just the annoying error.
Anyone knows how to disable this Intellij annoying error?

You shouldn't have two classes with the same name in the same package even if they're in different folders. Rename one, e.g. UserControllerIntegrationSpec or UserControllerUnitSpec.

Unit testing net5.0 ASP.Net projects with the NUnit console?

I've recently been trying to implement automated unit test within my Jenkins pipeline using the nunit3-console.exe, for multiple Test projects that implement Microsoft and Asp.Net related functionnalities within their set-up methods.
The test projects are in Net 5.0 and trying to run them will give me this error:
1) SetUp Error : MyProjectPath
System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The specified file could not be found.
at MyProjectTest.StartTest()
This is obviously not the only missing assembly, as it requires many of the Microsoft.Extensions and Asp.Net related dll to functions. Manually supplying said DLLs to the Test folder directory does allow the command to properly run, but this is obviously not a great solution in the long run. Supplying the missing assemblies to the GAC would also fix the problem, but only as long as we don't update any of our packages.
What would be the intended workflow when a Test requires such DLLs? Where should they be placed so that they can easily be maintained and/or replaced after updates? I've tried using the .Net Core console runner hoping it might include these DLLs as well.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Use the NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore.

Should I create a separate project to do Unit Test? I'm using JUnit

I'm new to software testing. I want to use JUnit to do the unit test on a Java project. The project is open source and it's a small application. So my question is - should I create a separate project to do testing or write the test code within the project? I use Netbeans btw. Also, can I generate test cases from existing class? On Netbeans, when you click File->New File->Unit Tests(Choose File Type)->Test for existing class, you are probably supposed to generate a test file but it turns out that you will just create new empty file... at least on my laptop... I'm not sure if that's the problem of the IDE..
Anyway, any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
I suggest you use Maven's default project structure:
<projectDir>
<src>
<main>
<java>
<packages>
<test>
<java>
<packages>
In this structure your tests are in the same project as your code but to not get compiled into your jar. Generally you put a unit test in the same package (under src/test/java) as the class under test. This gives organization and allows the unit test to access package-private (default scope) methods.

How do I run tests under a certain folder?

I'd like to be able to run all the tests under a folder structure like below. Anything under "tests" I would like to run. Is this possible?
We have a bunch of other tests in our project that haven't been maintained. We're migrating tests into this new tests folder.
Would a test category work?
Since VS2012 SP1, there are new test filters. You can use them to run your tests.
Of course, you could also use a Category for this : you just need to tag every test class.

VS2012 & TFS2012 Unit Test major issues

We are using VS2012 and TFS2012 and write unit tests for our code. We want to report code coverage, and also using .config files in our unit tests for test appsettings, and also some other settings for logging, MS Enterprise library settings etc. etc.
App.config not working in new test framework
New test framework of MS should be great, but to me it is not so great at all.
How I'm i suppose to set some basic configuration in config files, when the new framework does not use config files anymore?
We had a problem with mixed mode dlls, and found a fix: adding
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
to the app.config. But this did not work for our unit test project. Becuase config files are not there anymore. Searching the internet came up with a solution
'Problems with .Net 2.0 Mixed Mode Assemblies inside Visual Studio .Net 4.5 Test Projects'
This means editing a file of Visual Studio 11 itself in the program files directory, not a great solution i think....
And how about some basic appsetting? How am I supposed to set this?
Do not use the .testSettings file
Using the old .testsettings file is also not recommended by MS, becuase then the old test framework is used. And if I use the .testsettings file, i cannot setup Code Coverage on my tfs2012 build service.
Another issue is that we have code that need a dll (system.data.sqlite.dll), but only at runtime the unit test code needs this dll. So a reference is not needed. We fixed this by using the Deployment tab on the testsettings file. But in the new framework, you should not use the testsettings file. You have the [deploymentitem] attribute if you need files. But the deploymentitem attribute can only be used on a [testmethod] not on a [testinitialize] or [assemblyinitialize] method. But our code needs the dll in the [testinitialize] method. So there is no way to get the dll in place.
Just copy it with File.Copy in the [assemblyinitialize] (or testinitialize) method does not work.
Adding the dll as file to the project, and set the 'copy to output directory' to 'Copy Always' as mentioned in 'Configuring Unit Tests by using a .runsettings File' also does not work at all.
The (really not great) solution for this is to add the dll as a reference, then instantiate a class and do nothting with it. This way the dll is needed otherwise it is not building, and thus the dll will deploy itself to the right directories.
how to solve my problem(s)???
- I want to use config files in my unit test.
- I want to deploy some files that are neede in the 'assemblyinitialise' and/or 'classinitialize' methods.
- I want Code Coverage on my TFS2012 nightly build enabled.
a) App.config not working in new test framework
This should still work. What I think is missing in this case is that this .config file is not being copied with your test dll. Could you please set this as a deployment item and try again?
b) Do not use the .testSettings file
.testsettings and code coverage.
Setting up code coverage with the .testsettings file IS still supported in VS 2012 build. You simply need to select the mstest 2010 test runner and specify your .testsettings file in your build definition
If you dont have anything except code coverage settings in the .testsettings file then you can easily migrate to the 2012 test runner and select "enable code coverage" in the drop down items
copying a file required by test initalize
You could do this via the .testsettings file or you can have a post-build file copy task. It is pretty straight forward to do so and has no impact on anything else. Using the "copy to output directory = copy always" does work. Please try it with a sample solution and see if you can narrow down on why this does not work on your setup.

What alternative to DUnit with C++ Builder?

I have some projects developed with C++ builder XE.
I would like to add some unit test, but the DUnit framework installed is nice for Delphi, but the integration with C++ builder is not so good (and very limited).
What other xUnit framework can I easily work with ?
In your case I'd start by asking Embarcadero for assistance. They want to fully support the developers who use their stuff, and automated unit testing is really critical to keeping them happy.
Until then, CppUnit works on any C++ code, but does not really integrate all that well with IDEs. The approach we've used is to create a new project to contain the tests, and have its linker include the path to the existing production project's .OBJ files. We set up a a project dependency so the test project depends on the production project.
In the Test project, we'll use different main.cpp files, one each for Debug and Release, and use conditionals to include/exclude the appropriate one from the Debug and Release builds.
For some "fake" integration, at least as far as running the tests go, in the DebugMain.cpp we'll load up the MFC TestRunner GUI, so the developer can click to select the tests they want to execute. In the ReleaseMain.cpp, we'll use the command line test runner, using the CompilerOutputter object which will let the build process know of success or failure. The output is also compatible with IDEs that interpret stuff like that, so you can click on a failed test report in the Output window, and the IDE takes you to the failing test assertion.
