Stopping a Test Run

Question

Is there any way of stopping a FU4 test run that is currently in progress?
Thanks,
Brian

Answer 1

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:
public function stopTestRun():void {     (notifier
as RunNotifier).pleaseStop();
 /*** Create a new <code>FlexUnitCore</code> to run tests.
 public function StoppableCore() { 
//notifier = new RunNotifier();notifier =
new StoppableNotifier(); 
asyncListenerWatcher =
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. 
try {     eachNotifier.fireTestStarted();
catch(e:StoppedByUserException) {
     // The test run has stopped - mark the test state as ignored.       eachNotifier.fireTestIgnored();
     childRunnerToken.sendResult();
     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.
