FixtureScripts

Provides the mechanism to execute FixtureScript s from the UI of a domain app; and can also be used within integration testing.

1 runFixtureScript(String, String)

Main action - as exposed in the UI - to execute the specified fixture script.
2 recreateObjectsAndReturnFirst()

Convenience action - exposed through the UI - to execute the specified "recreate" FixtureScript and return/show the first object returned by that fixture script.
3 run(FixtureScript)

Runs the provided FixtureScript s, using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .
4 runPersonas(PersonaWithBuilderScript)

Runs the provided PersonaWithBuilderScript s, using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .
5 runPersona(PersonaWithBuilderScript)

Runs the provided PersonaWithBuilderScript , using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .
6 runBuilder(BuilderScriptAbstract)

Runs the provided BuilderScriptAbstract , using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .
7 runBuilderScriptNonTransactional(BuilderScriptAbstract)

Runs the BuilderScriptAbstract without its own transactional boundary.

Members

runFixtureScript(String, String)

Main action - as exposed in the UI - to execute the specified fixture script.

Also allows arbitrary parameters to be specified for said fixture script.

this method can only be used for FixtureScript implementations that are discoverable by Spring (eg annotated with org.springframework.stereotype.Service or org.springframework.stereotype.Component . Moreover, the FixtureScript must not be a view model, ie must not be annotated with org.apache.causeway.applib.annotation.DomainObject . (This is because the lifecycle of view models is unknown to by Spring). Instead, use #runFixtureScript(FixtureScript, String) , passing in the FixtureScript instance.

recreateObjectsAndReturnFirst()

Convenience action - exposed through the UI - to execute the specified "recreate" FixtureScript and return/show the first object returned by that fixture script.

run(FixtureScript)

Runs the provided FixtureScript s, using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .

This means that if there is an existing org.apache.causeway.applib.services.iactn.Interaction interaction (session) and transaction, then they will be re-used, but otherwise (all of) the provided fixtures will be installed in a single transaction.

*Be aware* that (unlike _#runPersonas(PersonaWithBuilderScript[])_ ), the scripts are _not_ called in a hierarchy; all provided fixture scripts will be executed in their own _org.apache.causeway.testing.fixtures.applib.fixturescripts.FixtureScript.ExecutionContext_ and therefore run irrespective of configured _#getMultipleExecutionStrategy()_ .

Also note that unlike #runFixtureScript(FixtureScript, String) , then FixturesInstallingEvent and FixturesInstalledEvent s are not fired.

runPersonas(PersonaWithBuilderScript)

Runs the provided PersonaWithBuilderScript s, using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .

This means that if there is an existing org.apache.causeway.applib.services.iactn.Interaction interaction (session) and transaction, then they will be re-used, but otherwise (all of) the provided persona fixtures will be installed in a single transaction.

Also, the persona scripts are called within a single hierarchy, in other words through a single org.apache.causeway.testing.fixtures.applib.fixturescripts.FixtureScript.ExecutionContext ; they therefore honour the configured #getMultipleExecutionStrategy() .

But note that unlike #runFixtureScript(String, String) , then FixturesInstallingEvent and FixturesInstalledEvent s are not fired.

runPersona(PersonaWithBuilderScript)

Runs the provided PersonaWithBuilderScript , using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .

This means that if there is an existing org.apache.causeway.applib.services.iactn.Interaction interaction (session) and transaction, then they will be re-used, but otherwise the provided persona fixture will be installed in a single transaction.

Also note that unlike #runFixtureScript(String, String) , then FixturesInstallingEvent and FixturesInstalledEvent s are not fired.

runBuilder(BuilderScriptAbstract)

Runs the provided BuilderScriptAbstract , using InteractionService#runAnonymous(ThrowingRunnable) and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) .

runBuilderScriptNonTransactional(BuilderScriptAbstract)

Runs the BuilderScriptAbstract without its own transactional boundary.

This means that the caller is responsible for ensuring that an org.apache.causeway.applib.services.iactn.Interaction interaction and TransactionService#runWithinCurrentTransactionElseCreateNew(ThrowingRunnable) transaction are in place.
