The format of the Library table is similar to the Import Table.
| Library |
| echo script |
The first row contains the word Library. This is a reserved word so slim knows which table is executed. All subsequent rows are fixtures. In this case SliM will expect two fixtures: EchoSupport and FileSupport. These fixtures will be located the same as "normal" fixtures, meaning it will use the Import Table's paths to scan.
Whenever a method is called that is not available on the fixture, then all installed libraries are scanned if that method is available and if so that one will be invoked.
Usage example:
File cleanup.
public class FileSupport {
public void delete(String folder) {
// do stuff here
}
}
public class MyFixture {
public void doBusinessLogic(String folder) {
myFileCreatingService.createFileInFolder(..);
}
}
| script | my fixture | |
| check | do business logic | 42 |
| note | The following invocation is triggered on the "echo script" library fixture | |
| echo | Hello world | |
Order of method execution
The order of method execution is as follows:
1. Find method on fixture, if present execute
2. Find method on System Under Test, if present execute
3. Find method on installed Library in reversed order of creation. So last one created takes precedence over the ones created earlier.
If you need to initialise the fixture you want to add to the library or your fixture has constructor parameters than this is possible as well.
