Question

Is there a relatively simple way to create a DataProvider method that feeds to a Test Method that takes List> or List as it’s parameter? Our hybrid framework has the input data broken down into dynamic blocks, with only the number of inputs for a step held constant. I’m somewhat confused as to how to massage the method so that I can feed these into the Tests.

Answer 1

I’m not sure I understand the problem, are you just trying to pass lists to your test method? How about this:

@DataProvider
public Object[][] dp() {
  return new Object[][] {
      new Object[] { ImmutableList.of(1, 2, 3) },
      new Object[] { ImmutableList.of(4, 5) },
  }
}

@Test(dataProvider = "dp")
public void test(List<Integer> l) {
  // ...
}
