RecycledNinjaServerTester provides much of the same functionality as NinjaTest, but starts up a single Ninja test server for all tests in a Junit test class.
If you’re unit tests do not rely on a fresh server then this approach will dramatically increase the speed of your unit tests.
public class MyControllerTest extends RecycledNinjaServerTester { @Test public void testThatHomepageWorks() { NinjaTestBrowser ninjaTestBrowser = new NinjaTestBrowser(); // redirect will send a location: redirect in the headers String result = ninjaTestBrowser.makeRequest(withBaseUrl("/")); // If the redirect has worked we must see the following text // from the index screen: assertTrue(result.contains("Hello to the blog example!")); assertTrue(result.contains("My second post")); } }
If you want to revert back to a single Ninja test server for each test method, you can simply extend your class from FreshNinjaServerTester.
