grails create-functional-test org.bookstore.Book
create-functional-test
Purpose
The create-functional-test
command creates a Geb functional test for the given base name.
Examples
Description
Creates an functional test for the given base name. The argument is optional, but if you don’t include it the command will ask you for the name of the controller.
An functional test differs from a unit test in that the Grails environment is loaded for the test execution. Refer to the section on Unit Testing of the user guide for information on unit vs. functional testing.
The name of the test can include a Java package, such as org.bookstore
in the final example above, but if one is not provided a default is used. So the second example will create the file test/integration/<appname>/BookSpec.groovy
whereas the last one will create test/integration/org/bookstore/BookSpec.groovy
directory. Note that the first letter of the test name is always upper-cased when determining the class name.
If you want the command to default to a different package for tests, provide a value for grails.project.groupId
in the runtime configuration.
Note that this command is just for convenience and you can also create functional tests in your favourite text editor or IDE if you choose.
Usage:
grails create-functional-test <<name>>
