How to invoking methods with parameters with Seam test?

[paradigmza]

Hi, I have looked through the seam examples can can't find out how to invoke a method with parameters with Seam test.

This is the method I want to test

@Stateless
@Name("dbi")
@AutoCreate
public class DBI_EJB_Impl implements DBI {

 @In
 EntityManager entityManager;


 public void create(DataObject daoObject){
 entityManager.persist(daoObject);
 } ..

Now how do I actually call the create method and pass it the DataObject?

This is what I have so far

public class DBI_EJB_ImplTest extends DBUnitSeamTest {

 public DBI_EJB_ImplTest() {
 super("java:/SomeDatasource");
 }

@Test
 public void testCreate() throws Exception {
 new ComponentTest() {
 @Override
 protected void testComponents() throws Exception {
 Employee employee = new Employee();
 employee.setFirstName("abcdefghijklmnop");
 employee.setLastName("burns");

 //invokeMethod("#{dbi.create()}");
 //How do I call this the method and pass in the employee?
 }

 }.run();

I am sure the solution is simple... I just can't find it.

Thanks.

Hmm, looks like there is a Major problem with Seam 2 and Embedded Jboss.... so going to write normal Junit tests for now.

@Test
public void testCreate() throws Exception {
 new ComponentTest() {
 @Override
 protected void testComponents() throws Exception {
 Employee employee = new Employee();
 employee.setFirstName("abcdefghijklmnop");
 employee.setLastName("burns");
 ( (DBI) getInstance("dbi") ).create(employee);
 }

 }.run();
}

Not a problem with Seam ;)

Thanks... as I thought... very simple :-)

Is there an eta on when a fix will be commited to Embedded Jboss so that we can run these Seam tests? (These test are extremely useful for me... and I would really like to use them)

What fix?

This issue...

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-1129

and

http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2129

Is there a workaround for now?

[pmuir]

We are waiting on the JBoss AS team stabilising JBoss AS trunk before building a new JBoss Embedded.

The workaround is just to run the tests using ant :)

I tried ant and got the same error... (I used the ant file that is automatically created by Eclipse, and just added the testng task... and got the same error.

Ok, I spoke to Max and apparently it's not trivial to make JBoss Tools build a correct ant script from a Seam project. I would try to build a custom ant script to do this, based on the test target in the ant script created by seam-gen.
