Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 5

Part 4 – Complete the process of writing the first unit test

To recap from the preceding blog, we added an assertion to our unit test method, and when we executed the unit test it promptly detected a failure after calling production-code subroutine set_alv_field_catalog. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:

Running existing unit tests

Fire up the ABAP Editor and retrieve or create the program containing the code shown above, then activate it and execute its unit test. The ABAP Unit: Results Display report appears accompanied by the following status message appearing at the bottom of the screen:

SAP ABAP Exam Prep, SAP ABAP Career, SAP ABAP Tutorial and Material, SAP ABAP Preparation

Processed: 1 program, 1 test classes, 1 test methods

The report indicates in the analysis section the reason for the failure: a non-initial value was expected by the failing unit test. Clicking on the ‘Include’ line beneath the ‘Stack’ node will take you to the line of unit test code where the failure occurred, which is the call to method assert_not_initial of class cl_abap_unit_assert, a call asserting that the actual value in alv_fieldcat_stack is expected to be not initial.

Identifying and fixing the first of many bugs

The solution to this unit test failure is to spell the name of the table correctly on the statement defining the table name for global field flights_table name. Its constant value should be changed from ‘XFLIGHT’ to ‘SFLIGHT’. Change this now and activate the program.

Running the unit test again

Execute the unit tests again. This time we should still see the following status message appearing at the bottom of the screen:

Processed: 1 program, 1 test classes, 1 test methods

Notice that the ABAP Unit: Results Display report no longer appears – we remain in the ABAP editor when this message is issued. This is evidence that there were no unit testing failures; otherwise we would have been presented with the ABAP Unit: Results Display report.

Executing the program again

Again execute the program and provide Airline ‘AA’. Now the program produces an ALV classic list report containing flights, but, sadly, the rows of flights appearing in the ALV report are not for the airline we had specified.

If after executing the program you find that error message “No flights match carrier AA” continues to appear at the bottom of the screen, then refer back to the first blog in this series, which explains how to insure there are applicable records existing in your persistence repository.
