Try extending Cocoon's AbstractCompositeTestCase. It sets up mock objects and is set up to test generators, transformers and serializers. You can configure basic components and test them as well. The only thing I haven't figured out how to test with it is an input module.

Subject: tescase avalon component in cocoon

hy,

i would like use the Excalibur Testcase for test my avalon component in cocoon

but i don't know how do ?

i tried with this code but my component use contextualize method and

there is a contextException because the context object is not a cocoon context

note : i have not experience in TestCase..

my code :

public class TestIndexComponentImpl extends ExcaliburTestCase {

public TestIndexComponentImpl(String name) {
    super(name);
}

protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();
    FileInputStream reader=new FileInputStream("d://testcase.xml");
    this.prepare(reader);
}

protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
    super.tearDown();
}

public void testAnalyzer() {
    try {
      AnalyzerManager manager = (AnalyzerManager)this.lookup(AnalyzerManager.ROLE);
    }
    catch (ComponentException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    this.assertNotNull(manager);
}
