Stopping a Test Run

Here's a way to stop the test run if you're running tests with a a swf application. (based on Flexunit August release).   All of the tests that haven't run yet get marked as ignored.

I'm using this for a demo to try to show how easy it is to use flexunit.

1) StoppableNotifier: extends RunNotifier, but resets the stopped state to false when a test run is started.

This is to allow the test run to be reexecuted, if the user clicks a rerun button in the UI.

2) StoppableCore - a copy of FlexUnitCore, with these differences:

{

     (notifier

as RunNotifier).pleaseStop();

}

/**

* Create a new <code>FlexUnitCore</code> to run tests.

*/

public function StoppableCore() {

//notifier = new RunNotifier();

notifier =

new StoppableNotifier();

new AsyncListenerWatcher( notifier, null );

//asyncListenerWatcher.addEventListener( AsyncListenerWatcher.ALL_LISTENERS_READY, handleAllListenersReady, false, 0, true );

}

3. A modified BlockFlexUnit4ClassRunner.as with runChild() modified to catch the StoppedByUserException and mark the test as ignored.

//TODO: Deal with async issues here on the notifier finish

// STOP support: if the test run should be stopped, mark the test as ignored.

{

     eachNotifier.fireTestStarted();

(e:StoppedByUserException) {

     // The test run has stopped - mark the test state as ignored.

     return;

}

4. I have a button click handler wired to call the stopTestRun() method.

5. In the mxml wrapper, an instance of StoppableCore() is used instead of FlexUnitCore.
