Trouble mocking grailsApplication properties in integration test

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm using Groovy 1.7.7 with Grails 1.2.1. I have this in my integration test ...

class SocialMediaCacheProxyControllerTests extends GrailsUnitTestCase { 
    def grailsApplication
	def transportCacheService
	
	protected void setUp() {
		super.setUp()
		//transportCacheService.grailsApplication = grailsApplication
		def mockedConfig = new ConfigObject()
		mockedConfig.proxy.messageNotAuthorized="Originating host is not authorized to use this service."
		mockedConfig.proxy.clearCacheMsg="Cleared all cache!"
		GrailsApplication.metaClass.getConfig = {-> mockedConfig }
		def notAuthorizedMsg = grailsApplication.config.proxy.messageNotAuthorized
		def clearCacheMsg = grailsApplication.config.proxy.clearCacheMsg
		def abc = 123
	}

Although the second property, clearCacheMsg, evaluates properly to the string I set it to, the first property, "notAuthorizedMsg", evaluates to a ConfigObject, which is wreaking havoc with my tests. I figured this all out through my STS debugger -- http://screencast.com/t/8FVrYFMPt . Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? In other words, what is the correct way to mock these configuration properties? - Dave

Hello Dave,

hmmm, have you already tried something like this?

class SocialMediaCacheProxyControllerTests extends GrailsUnitTestCase { 
    def grailsApplication
	def transportCacheService
	
	protected void setUp() {
		super.setUp()
		//transportCacheService.grailsApplication = grailsApplication
		def mockedConfig = new ConfigObject()
                def mockedProxy = new Proxy()
                mockedProxy.messageNotAuthorized="Originating host is not authorized to use this service."
		mockedProxy.clearCacheMsg ="Cleared all cache!"
		mockedConfig.metaClass.getProxy = { -> mockedProxy }
                GrailsApplication.metaClass.getConfig = {-> mockedConfig }
		def notAuthorizedMsg = grailsApplication.config.proxy.messageNotAuthorized
		def clearCacheMsg = grailsApplication.config.proxy.clearCacheMsg
		def abc = 123
	}
