我有一些方法,应该在某些输入上调用System.exit()。不幸的是,测试这些用例会导致JUnit终止!将方法调用放在新线程中似乎没有帮助,因为System.exit()终止JVM,而不仅仅是当前线程。有什么共同的模式来处理这个问题吗?例如,我可以用存根代替System.exit()吗?

[编辑]所讨论的类实际上是一个命令行工具,我试图在JUnit中测试它。也许JUnit根本不是适合这项工作的工具?欢迎对补充回归测试工具提出建议(最好能与JUnit和EclEmma很好地集成)。

Another technique here is to introduce additional code into the (hopefully small number of) places where the logic does the System.exit(). This additional code then avoids doing the System.exit() when the logic is being called as part of unit test. For example, define a package private constant like TEST_MODE which is normally false. Then have the unit test code set this true and add logic to the code under test to check for that case and bypass the System.exit call and instead throw an exception that the unit test logic can catch. By the way, in 2021 and using something like spotbugs, this problem can manifest itself in the obscure error that "java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host".

可以使用java SecurityManager防止当前线程关闭java虚拟机。下面的代码应该是你想要的:

SecurityManager securityManager = new SecurityManager() {
    public void checkPermission(Permission permission) {
        if ("exitVM".equals(permission.getName())) {
            throw new SecurityException("System.exit attempted and blocked.");
        }
    }
};
System.setSecurityManager(securityManager);

实际上,您可以模拟或排除该系统。exit方法,在JUnit测试中。

例如,使用JMockit你可以这样写(也有其他方法):

@Test
public void mockSystemExit(@Mocked("exit") System mockSystem)
{
    // Called by code under test:
    System.exit(); // will not exit the program
}

编辑:替代测试(使用最新的JMockit API),它不允许任何代码在调用System.exit(n)后运行:

@Test(expected = EOFException.class)
public void checkingForSystemExitWhileNotAllowingCodeToContinueToRun() {
    new Expectations(System.class) {{ System.exit(anyInt); result = new EOFException(); }};

    // From the code under test:
    System.exit(1);
    System.out.println("This will never run (and not exit either)");
}

我们在代码库中使用的一个技巧是将对System.exit()的调用封装在Runnable impl中,该方法默认使用该impl。为了单元测试,我们设置了一个不同的模拟Runnable。就像这样:

private static final Runnable DEFAULT_ACTION = new Runnable(){
  public void run(){
    System.exit(0);
  }
};

public void foo(){ 
  this.foo(DEFAULT_ACTION);
}

/* package-visible only for unit testing */
void foo(Runnable action){   
  // ...some stuff...   
  action.run(); 
}

...以及JUnit测试方法……

public void testFoo(){   
  final AtomicBoolean actionWasCalled = new AtomicBoolean(false);   
  fooObject.foo(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
      actionWasCalled.set(true);
    }   
  });   
  assertTrue(actionWasCalled.get()); 
}

你可以用替换Runtime实例来测试System.exit(..)。 例如,使用TestNG + Mockito:

public class ConsoleTest {
    /** Original runtime. */
    private Runtime originalRuntime;

    /** Mocked runtime. */
    private Runtime spyRuntime;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() {
        originalRuntime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        spyRuntime = spy(originalRuntime);

        // Replace original runtime with a spy (via reflection).
        Utils.setField(Runtime.class, "currentRuntime", spyRuntime);
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void tearDown() {
        // Recover original runtime.
        Utils.setField(Runtime.class, "currentRuntime", originalRuntime);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSystemExit() {
        // Or anything you want as an answer.
        doNothing().when(spyRuntime).exit(anyInt());

        System.exit(1);

        verify(spyRuntime).exit(1);
    }
}

我喜欢已经给出的一些答案,但我想演示一种不同的技术,这种技术在测试遗留代码时通常很有用。给出如下代码:

public class Foo {
  public void bar(int i) {
    if (i < 0) {
      System.exit(i);
    }
  }
}

您可以进行安全重构来创建包装系统的方法。退出电话:

public class Foo {
  public void bar(int i) {
    if (i < 0) {
      exit(i);
    }
  }

  void exit(int i) {
    System.exit(i);
  }
}

然后你可以为你的测试创建一个覆盖exit的假的:

public class TestFoo extends TestCase {

  public void testShouldExitWithNegativeNumbers() {
    TestFoo foo = new TestFoo();
    foo.bar(-1);
    assertTrue(foo.exitCalled);
    assertEquals(-1, foo.exitValue);
  }

  private class TestFoo extends Foo {
    boolean exitCalled;
    int exitValue;
    void exit(int i) {
      exitCalled = true;
      exitValue = i;
    }
}

这是一种用行为代替测试用例的通用技术,我在重构遗留代码时一直使用它。这通常不是我要留下东西的地方,而是测试现有代码的中间步骤。
