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".

如何注入一个“ExitManager”到这个方法:

public interface ExitManager {
    void exit(int exitCode);
}

public class ExitManagerImpl implements ExitManager {
    public void exit(int exitCode) {
        System.exit(exitCode);
    }
}

public class ExitManagerMock implements ExitManager {
    public bool exitWasCalled;
    public int exitCode;
    public void exit(int exitCode) {
        exitWasCalled = true;
        this.exitCode = exitCode;
    }
}

public class MethodsCallExit {
    public void CallsExit(ExitManager exitManager) {
        // whatever
        if (foo) {
            exitManager.exit(42);
        }
        // whatever
    }
}

生产代码使用ExitManagerImpl,测试代码使用ExitManagerMock,可以检查是否调用了exit()以及使用哪个退出代码。

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);

标准库System Lambda有一个方法catchSystemExit。使用这个规则,你可以测试调用System.exit(…)的代码:

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void systemExitWithArbitraryStatusCode() {
        SystemLambda.catchSystemExit(() -> {
            //the code under test, which calls System.exit(...);
        });
    }


    @Test
    public void systemExitWithSelectedStatusCode0() {
        int status = SystemLambda.catchSystemExit(() -> {
            //the code under test, which calls System.exit(0);
        });

        assertEquals(0, status);
    }
}

对于Java 5到7,库System Rules有一个叫做ExpectedSystemExit的JUnit规则。使用这个规则,你可以测试调用System.exit(…)的代码:

public class MyTest {
    @Rule
    public final ExpectedSystemExit exit = ExpectedSystemExit.none();

    @Test
    public void systemExitWithArbitraryStatusCode() {
        exit.expectSystemExit();
        //the code under test, which calls System.exit(...);
    }

    @Test
    public void systemExitWithSelectedStatusCode0() {
        exit.expectSystemExitWithStatus(0);
        //the code under test, which calls System.exit(0);
    }
}

使用运行时。exec(字符串命令)在单独的进程中启动JVM。

系统存根(https://github.com/webcompere/system-stubs)也能够解决这个问题。它共享System Lambda的语法,用于包装我们知道将执行System的代码。退出,但当其他代码意外退出时,可能会导致奇怪的效果。

通过JUnit 5插件,我们可以保证任何退出都将转换为异常:

@ExtendWith(SystemStubsExtension.class)
class SystemExitUseCase {
    // the presence of this in the test means System.exit becomes an exception
    @SystemStub
    private SystemExit systemExit;

    @Test
    void doSomethingThatAccidentallyCallsSystemExit() {
        // this test would have stopped the JVM, now it ends in `AbortExecutionException`
        // System.exit(1);
    }

    @Test
    void canCatchSystemExit() {
        assertThatThrownBy(() -> System.exit(1))
            .isInstanceOf(AbortExecutionException.class);

        assertThat(systemExit.getExitCode()).isEqualTo(1);
    }
}

或者,类似断言的静态方法也可以使用:

assertThat(catchSystemExit(() -> {
   //the code under test
   System.exit(123);
})).isEqualTo(123);
