How to write a jUnit test for this class?
- by flash
Hi,
I would like to know what's the best approach to test the method "pushEvent()" in the following class with a jUnit test.
My problem is, that the private method "callWebsite()" always requires a connection to the network. How can I avoid this requirement or refactor my class that I can test it without a connection to the network?
class MyClass {
public String pushEvent (Event event) {
//do something here
String url = constructURL (event); //construct the website url
String response = callWebsite (url);
return response;
}
private String callWebsite (String url) {
try {
URL requestURL = new URL (url);
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
connection = (HttpURLConnection) requestURL.openConnection ();
String responseMessage = responseParser.getResponseMessage (connection);
return responseMessage;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace ();
return e.getMessage ();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace ();
return e.getMessage ();
}
}
}
