DummyClientFace::processEvents works with UnitTestTimeFixture
Added by Junxiao Shi over 8 years ago.
Updated over 8 years ago.
Description
When a test case is written with UnitTestTimeFixture, Face::processEvents cannot be used because it calls io_service::run() but does not advance clocks and may be blocked forever.
Instead, the test case must call UnitTestTimeFixture::advanceClocks.
This can cause complexity when a component needs to be usable in both normal case and in UnitTestTimeFixture, and cause confusion during test development.
DummyClientFace should allow overriding Face::processEvents so that the test case can always call face.processEvents() even within UnitTestTimeFixture.
The API should avoid dependency on UnitTestTimeFixture which differs per project.
API design A
- mark
Face::processEvents as virtual
- in each project's
UnitTestTimeFixture, provide a subclass of DummyClientFace that integrates with the specific UnitTestTimeFixture
UnitTestTimeFixture::createDummyClientFace creates a DummyClientFace subclass that integrates with this UnitTestTimeFixture
Benefit: minimal changes in ndn-cxx
Drawback: each project has a different subclass which increases maintenance cost
API design B
- mark
Face::processEvents as virtual
- in
DummyClientFace::Options, add a function<void(time::nanoseconds)> processEventsOverride field
- in
DummyClientFace::processEvents, if options.processEventsOverride is not empty, call that function; otherwise, call Face::processEvents
UnitTestTimeFixture::getProcessEventsOverride makes a function object that can be used as DummyClientFace::Options::processEventsOverride
Benefit: uniform interface among projects
Drawback: more complexity in ndn-cxx
