Unit testing with Hollow objects

Hollow provides a hollow-test jar that contains some testing utilities to facilitate unit testing with Hollow objects.

HollowReadStateEngineBuilder

This class allows easy creation of HollowReadStateEngine objects for use in unit tests. This is useful when paired with a TestHollowConsumer (see below), by itself while using lower-level Hollow APIs, or as a mechanism to create Hollow objects for use in test cases.

HollowReadStateEngine engine = new HollowReadStateEngineBuilder()
    .add(new Movie("foo"))
    .add(new Actor("bar"))
    .build()

TestHollowConsumer

A common pattern during unit or integration tests is to require an instance of a HollowConsumer that can be manipulated, similar to how test fixtures or mocks are manipulated. hollow-test provides a TestHollowConsumer class to facilitate this.

A simple example is shown below. See the unit tests in TestHollowConsumerTest for further examples.

HollowWriteStateEngine stateEngine = new HollowWriteStateEngineBuilder()
    .add("somedata")
    .add(new MyDataModelType("somestuff", 2))
    .build();
// we will add the snapshot with a version, and make the announcementWatcher see this version
long latestVersion = 1L;
TestHollowConsumer consumer = new TestHollowConsumer.Builder()
       .withAnnouncementWatcher(new TestAnnouncementWatcher().setLatestVersion(latestVersion))
       .withBlobRetriever(new TestBlobRetriever())
       .withGeneratedAPIClass(MyApiClass.class)
       .build();
consumer.addSnapshot(latestVersion, stateEngine);
consumer.triggerRefresh();
