Question

In Grails the unit tests and integration tests get generated with exactly the same naming convention, so that if you are testing a domain class named Foo both tests get generated with the name FooTests, in the same package. Is there an expectation I should have either a unit test or an integration test, but not both? Do people put their integration tests in a different package from their unit tests, or rename one? What’s the preferred way to get around this?

btw I hacked on grails/scripts/_GrailsCreateArtifacts.groovy to change how the classes are generated in order to get it to generate different names (the value for the suffix property is all that changed). I don’t like having to include something that means ‘integration’ in the name when the class is in a folder called ‘integration’, but this at least avoids having to do a manual rename.

createIntegrationTest = { Map args = [:] ->
    def superClass = args["superClass"] ?: "GroovyTestCase"
    createArtifact(name: args["name"], suffix: "${args['suffix']}IntTests", 
        type: "Tests", path: "test/integration", superClass: superClass)
}

Answer 1

I think giving them a different name is the right choice.

*IntTests 

or

*IntegrationTests
