Issues running unit-test of barrel on mac.

I haven't tried to run unit tests from barrels (well I have tried, but there's a blocker that I can't use barrels for my tests. namely that I can't inherit the class in my barrel from my main project where the class is that I want to test, unless I make that class part of my barrel as well, which is pretty senseless thing to do imho)....

There's luckily a way to do testing without barrels with eclipse linked projects though, I have described this process in 3 articles on my blog, the first one of the articles is here: http://starttorun.info/tutorial-how-to-create-connect-iq-unit-test-project/

I found it!!

The first line `module MatchpointBarrel {` should also have `(:test)` before!

Thanks for the reponse, if I'll run into other issues I'll might set it up like you propose!

indeed, but when you run into the next problem, read my post above yours :)

I actually went into another blocker, but doesn't seem to be the one you described:

BUILD: ERROR: fenix3_hr: Monkey Barrel dependencies were detected during Jungle file processing. Barrels are not supported by device: fenix3_hr.

I don't get when you mean't, everything works fine for me if I use fenix 5, for example.

This is my barrel:

module MatchpointBarrel {
(:Bars) // Notice the annotations above the submodule names
module Counter {
// Create a counter var for the "Current Bars"
var counter = 0;

// Increment the Bar counter
function add() {
counter++;
return counter;
}

// Get the current Bars
function getCount() {
return counter;
}
}
}


This is a test:
(:test)
module MatchpointBarrel {
// Unit test to check if 2 + 2 == 4
(:test)
function myUnitTest(logger) {
MatchpointBarrel.Counter.add();
MatchpointBarrel.Counter.add();
return (MatchpointBarrel.Counter.getCount() == 2); // returning true indicates pass, false indicates failure
}
}

And I use it in my project like this:

using MatchpointBarrel;
MatchpointBarrel.Counter.add();
MatchpointBarrel.Counter.add();
System.println("Count -> " + MatchpointBarrel.Counter.getCount());
MatchpointBarrel.Counter.add();
System.println("Count -> " + MatchpointBarrel.Counter.getCount());

for
BUILD: ERROR: fenix3_hr: Monkey Barrel dependencies were detected during Jungle file processing. Barrels are not supported by device: fenix3_hr.

Check your run config for that target. You'll want the Target SDK Version to be 1.4 and not 1.3 (which may be the default). Barrel support came in 1.4.x

It works because you don't use classes, you are using modules with global functions, I use class (inheritance) in my projects as I prefer coding in an object oriented style.

Okay, interesting. So then I can use barrels for fenix3_hr if I just change target SDK I guess.

I see. I'm planning to use classes as well, that was just a test.

Is classes only a problem if you want to inherit from "barrel"-casses to "app-classes"? I was only planning on instantiating "barrel"-classes in my app.

I did run into some issues with the "Linked"-setup as well, but I'm working on the currently. Im setting up a CI-environment, and then there's a file created named "linkedResources.jungle", which I don't know how to create correctly. So for now I'm just creating it manually in a bash-script. Anyone know how I can generate a "linkedResources.jungle"? Or do I need the Eclipse-plugin for that maybe?

Yes. 1.4.x is on the ROW devices. Looks like the APAC devices are still on 1.3.x so your app won't be available for them.
