I am trying to test a method that copies a source file to a dest file using JUnit's TemporaryFolder
. I get a Java IOException
when I try run this test however. Does it matter where I make the declaration for the folder? (My test class has several different tests in it). And if so, what is the proper way to do it? I ask because I currently have several unit tests above this code, then I try to set up the testing for the file copying. Maybe the @Rule
-@Before
-@Test
block needs to be in its own class? Here is the snippet where I have coded the test:
...other tests...then:
@Rule
public static TemporaryFolder tmp = new TemporaryFolder();
private File f1, f2;
@Before
public void createTestData() throws IOException {
f1 = tmp.newFile("src.txt");
f2 = tmp.newFile("dest.txt");
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f1));
out.write("This should generate some \n" +
"test data that will be used in \n" +
"the following method.");
out.close();
}
@Test
public void copyFileTest() {
out.println("file 1 length: " + f1.length());
try {
copyFile(f1, f2);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.getMessage();
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (f1.length() != f2.length())
fail();
else if (!f1.equals(f2))
fail();
assertSame(f1, f2);
}
When I run this test class, all 11 of my tests now fail (which previously passed) and I get java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
.
