RestKit entity mapping for UnitTests does not work - unit-testing

I'm trying to create my RKEntityMapping outside of my UnitTest. The problem I have is it only works if I create it inside my test. For example, this works:
RKEntityMapping *accountListMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:#"CustomerListResponse" inManagedObjectStore:_sut.managedObjectStore];
[accountListMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{#"count": #"pageCount",
#"page": #"currentPage",
#"pages": #"pages"}];
While the following does now work. The all to accoutListMapping returns exactly what is shown above using the same managed object store:
RKEntityMapping *accountListMapping = [_sut accountListMapping];
When the RKEntityMapping is created in _sut I get this error:
<unknown>:0: error: -[SBAccountTests testAccountListFetch] : 0x9e9cd10: failed with error:
Error Domain=org.restkit.RestKit.ErrorDomain Code=1007 "Cannot perform a mapping operation
with a nil destination object." UserInfo=0x8c64490 {NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot perform
a mapping operation with a nil destination object.}
I'm assuming the nil destination object it is referring to is destinationObject:nil.
RKMappingTest *maptest = [RKMappingTest testForMapping:accountListMapping
sourceObject:_parsedJSON
destinationObject:nil];

Make sure that the file you have created has a target membership of both your main target, and your test target. You can find this by:
clicking on the .m file of your class
open the utilities toolbar (the one on the right)
in the target membership section tick both targets.
This is because if your class does not have target membership to your test target, the test target actually creates a copy of the class that you have created, meaning it has a different binary file to the main target. This leads to that class using the test's version of the RestKit binary, rather than the main projects RestKit. This will lead to the isKindOfClass method failing when it tries to see if the mapping you have passed is of type RKObjectMapping from the main project, because it is of type RKObjectMapping from the test projects version of RestKit, so your mapping doesn't get used, and you get your crash.
At least this is my understanding of how the LLVM compiler works. I'm new to iOS dev so please feel free to correct if I got something wrong.

This problem may also be caused by duplicated class definitions, when including RestKit components for multiple targets individually when using Cocoapods.
For more information on this have a look at this answer.

I used a category on the Mapped object for example
RestKitMappings+SomeClass
+ (RKObjectMapping*)responsemappings {
return mappings;
}
now this category has to be included in the test target as well otherwise the mapping will not be passed.

When you're running a test you aren't using the entire mapping infrastructure, so RestKit isn't going to create a destination object for you. It's only going to test the mapping itself. So you need to provide all three pieces of information to the test method or it can't work.

How to load PNG file into my custom component? Cannot get correct instance

I want to create a custom control (from TPanel) that holds some TImages.
I want to display PNG (with transparency) into those mages. Therefore, I am TRYING to attach the PNG via IDE's "Resource and Images" to the package.
The problem is that when I put the component into a test application it will fail on MyPng->LoadFromResourceName line with "resource not found". Interestingly, if I add the PNG as a resource to the test application, it will work.
This means that the component is looking into the wrong module for the PNG resource.
I print the instance with ShowMessage it shows indeed "ComponentTester.exe".
__fastcall TVolumeCtrl::TVolumeCtrl(TComponent* Owner)
: TPanel(Owner)
{
HINST h = FindClassHInstance(__classid(TVolumeCtrl));
ShowMessage(GetModuleName(h));
TPngImage *Png3 = new TPngImage();
MyPng->LoadFromResourceName(h, "Btn1");
How to get the correct instance?
Note: The PNG files ARE compiled into the RES file generated. I looked inside with a Hex viewer.
The only explanation that makes sense is that you are not using runtime packages. So you aren't loading the module that contains the resource.
The right way to link the resource for the component is to use a $R directive in the source file that declares the type, TVolumeCtrl in this case. That way the resource will be linked to whichever module contains the implementation of TVolumeCtrl. That's going to be a package when you are compiling the runtime package (which is used at designtime by your designtime package), and it will be the executable when you compile an executable that does not use runtime packages.

Set global properties in karma

How to set some global variable to windows object.
In my case we set some model to windows object through index.html.
And in our components we use that model directly. But while running unit tests it doesn't found that object and test fails.
I tried setting the model in spec file as: window.appConfig={};
But its throwing the error.
After some research I found the solution for this as:
To set some properties to windows object you need to use the below syntax:
window['appConfig']={};
Also if you are using this in multiple components then we can set this type of variables in 1 js file and provide that file in karma.js and then it can be accessed in any spec file.
files:['globleKarmaConstants.js'],

loading classes with jodd and using them in drools

I am working on a system that uses drools to evaluate certain objects. However, these objects can be of classes that are loaded at runtime using jodd. I am able to load a file fine using the following function:
public static void loadClassFile(File file) {
try {
// use Jodd ClassLoaderUtil to load class into the current ClassLoader
ClassLoaderUtil.defineClass(getBytesFromFile(file));
} catch (IOException e) {
exceptionLog(LOG_ERROR, getInstance(), e);
}
}
Now lets say I have created a class called Tire and loaded it using the function above. Is there a way I can use the Tire class in my rule file:
rule "Tire Operational"
when
$t: Tire(pressure == 30)
then
end
Right now if i try to add this rule i get an error saying unable to resolve ObjectType Tire. My assumption would be that I would somehow need to import Tire in the rule, but I'm not really sure how to do that.
Haven't use Drools since version 3, but will try to help anyway. When you load class this way (dynamically, in the run-time, no matter if you use e.g. Class.forName() or Jodd), loaded class name is simply not available to be explicitly used in the code. I believe we can simplify your problem with the following sudo-code, where you first load a class and then try to use its name:
defineClass('Tire.class');
Tire tire = new Tire();
This obviously doesn't work since Tire type is not available at compile time: compiler does not know what type you gonna load during the execution.
What would work is to have Tire implementing some interface (e.g. VehiclePart). So then you could use the following sudo-code:
Class tireClass = defineClass('Tire.class');
VehiclePart tire = tireClass.newInstance();
System.out.println(tire.getPartName()); // prints 'tire' for example
Then maybe you can build your Drools rules over the interface VehiclePart and getPartName() property.
Addendum
Above make sense only when interface covers all the properties of dynamically loaded class. In most cases, this is not a valid solution: dynamically loaded classes simply do not share properties. So, here is another approach.
Instead of using explicit class loading, this problem can be solved by 'extending' the classloader class path. Be warn, this is a hack!
In Jodd, there is method: ClassLoaderUtil.addFileToClassPath() that can add a file or a path to the classloader in the runtime. So here are the steps that worked for me:
1) Put all dynamically created classes into some root folder, with the respect of their packages. For example, lets say we want to use a jodd.samples.TestBean class, that has two properties: number (int) and a value (string). We then need to put it this class into the root/jodd/samples folder.
2) After building all dynamic classes, extend the classloaders path:
ClassLoaderUtil.addFileToClassPath("root", ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
3) load class and create it before creating KnowledgeBuilder:
Class testBeanClass = Class.forName("jodd.samples.TestBean");
Object testBean = testBeanClass.newInstance();
4) At this point you can use BeanUtils (from Jodd, for example:) to manipulate properties of the testBean instance
5) Create Drools stuff and add insert testBean into session:
knowledgeSession.insert(testBean);
6) Use it in rule file:
import jodd.samples.TestBean;
rule "xxx"
when
$t: TestBean(number == 173)
then
System.out.println("!!!");
end
This worked for me. Note that on step #2 you can try using different classloader, but you might need it to pass it to the KnowledgeBuilderFactory via KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration (i.e. PackageBuilderConfiguration).
Another solution
Another solution is to simply copy all object properties to a map, and deal with the map in the rules files. So you can use something like this at step #4:
Map map = new HashMap();
BeanTool.copy(testBean, map);
and later (step #5) add a map to Drools context instead of the bean instance. In this case it would be even better to use defineClass() method to explicitly define each class.

Coldfusion 8 - mapping conflict causes "argument is not of interface type" error

I have been researching this, and cannot seem to find anything about it.
We work on CF8. When my coworker tried installing my latest code updates, he started seeing errors that the argument supplied to a function was not of the specified interface type. Worked fine for me. Same set up. Sometimes it works for him. Also have the problem on our dev server.
I have since been able to isolate and reproduce the problem locally.
Here is the set up.
I have 2 mappings on the server:
"webapp/" goes to c:\webroot\
"packages/" goes to c:\webroot\[domain]
Then I created an interface, call it ISubject and a component that implements it, called Person, and saved both under packages. Here is the declaration for Person:
cfcomponent implements="packages.ISubject"
Finally, there is a component, called SubjectMediator with a function, called setSubject, that wants an object of the ISubject interface type. Here is the argument declaration for setSubject:
cfargument name="subject_object" type="packages.ISubject"
To implement:
variables.person = createObject("component", "packages.Person").Init();
variables.subjectMediator = createObject("component", "packages.SubjectMediator ").Init();
variables.subjectMediator.setSubject(variables.person);
That last line throws the error that Person is not of type ISubject. If I do isInstanceOf() on Person against ISubject it validates fine.
So the reason this is happening? Dumping getMetaData(variables.person) shows me that the interface path is webapp.[domain].ISubject. And indeed, if I change the type attribute of the argument to use this path instead of packages.ISubject, all is fine again.
Coldfusion seems to be arbitrarily choosing which mapping to resolve the interface to, and then simply doing a string comparison for check the type argument?
Anyone had to contend with this? I need the webapp mapping, and I cannot change all references to "packages" to "webapp.[domain]." I also am not able in this instance to use an application-specific mapping for webapp. While any of these 3 options would circumvent the issue, I'm hoping someone has some insight...
The best I've got is to set argument type to "any" and then check isInstanceOf() inside the function... Seems like poor form.
Thanks,
Jen
Can you move the contents of the packages mapping to outside the webroot? This seems like the easiest way to fix it.

StructureMap RegistrationConvention for decorator pattern

I'm using the decorator pattern to implement caching for my Repositories as such:
IFooRepository()
IFooRepository FooRepository()
IFooRepository CachedFooRepository(IFooRepository fooRepository)
The Cached repository checks the cache for the requested object and if it doesn't exist, calls the FooRepository to retrieve and store it. I'm currently registering these types with StructureMap using the following method:
For<IFooRepository>().Use<CachedFooRepository()
.Ctor<IFooRepository>().Use<FooRepository>();
This works fine, but as the number of cached repositories grows, registering each one individually is becoming unwieldy and is error prone. Seeing as I have a common convention, I'm trying to scan my assembly using a custom IRegistrationConvention, but I can't seem to figure out how to pass the FooRepository to the constructor of CachedFooRepository in the void Process(Type type, Registry registry) function.
I've found examples to do something like:
Type interfaceType = type.GetInterface(type.Name.Replace("Cached", "I"));
registry.AddType(interfaceType, type);
or
Type interfaceType = type.GetInterface(type.Name.Replace("Cached", "I"));
registry.For(interfaceType).Use(type);
But neither method will allow me to chain the .Ctor. What am I missing? Any ideas?
