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)。

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)");
}

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。

快速查看api,可以看到System。Exit可以抛出异常,特别是当securitymanager禁止关闭vm时。也许一个解决方案是安装这样一个管理器。

SecurityManager解决方案有一个小问题。一些方法,如JFrame。exitOnClose,也调用SecurityManager.checkExit。在我的应用程序中,我不希望这个调用失败,所以我使用了

Class[] stack = getClassContext();
if (stack[1] != JFrame.class && !okToExit) throw new ExitException();
super.checkExit(status);

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()); 
}
