How to debug Mockolate for unit testing - actionscript-3

While unit testing in actionscript-3 with mockolate I have run into quite a few problems/errors:
Error: No Expectation defined for Invocation:[FloxyInvocation invocationType=GETTER name="propertyName" arguments=[]]
Error: 1 unmet Expectation
Mockolate errors and debugging are poorly documented and searches bring up no results, so solving these problems get very tricky.

No expectation defined error is thrown when the function you are testing expects the specified invocation type and name:
Error: No Expectation defined for Invocation:[FloxyInvocation invocationType=GETTER name="propertyName" arguments=[]]
Can be solved with:
mock(object).getter("propertyName").returns(someValue);
Unmet expectation error can be thrown when you created a mock statement (a getter or setter) but there is no getter or setter defined for the variable you are getting or setting.
Error: 1 unmet Expectation
Can be solved with:
public function get variable():String {
return _variable;
}
public function set variable(value:String):void {
_variable = value;
}

Test if an assertion is thrown

How do I test if an assertion is thrown by the method under test using junit? Heres the method I'm testing:
public int f(int i){
assert i > 0;
return i;
}
I'm using junit 4.12.
You can test it by providing parameter in #Test annotation:
#Test(expected = AssertionError.class)
public void shouldThrowExceptionWhenIncorrectInput() {
f(-3);
}
This will check if the AssertException is thrown.
However, if you want to ensure that this function wont be run with incorrect parameters, you have to be aware that assertions can be turned off by running java with -da parameters.
To ensure that exception is thrown I would suggest throwing IllegalArgumentException inside some validation method, and to provide it with proper message. Then you will be sure that this will always throw exception when incorrect parameters are provided.

Extending TypeError

PHP7 introduced the TypeError "exception" (I know it implements throwable rather than extends exception so it's not strictly speaking an exception, but they behave in essentially the same way as far as I can tell) which gets thrown if you enable strict mode for function parameter type hinting.
declare (strict_types = 1);
function square (int $val) : int
{
return $val * $val;
}
var_dump (square ("123"));
The above code should throw a TypeError, which you can optionally catch and attempt to recover from or terminate execution, depending on what is the most appropriate course of action to take.
However, TypeError seems like it would be a bit too generic, and it would be nice if you were able to extend it to convey a bit more information about the failure that occurred:
class TypeNotIntError extends TypeError {} // Throw this when an int was expected
class TypeNotFloatError extends TypeError {} // Throw this when a float was expected
class TypeNotStringError extends TypeError {} // Throw this when a string was expected
// etc
It should be possible to extend TypeError like this because the PHP documentation doesn't state that it's a final class. However, while you can extend TypeError there doesn't seem to be a mechanism that allows you to throw a child of TypeError without manually throwing one inside a function. As a TypeError would already be thrown by the engine if you pass in an invalid parameter type, the ability to extend TypeError seems pretty limited to me.
Is it possible to tell PHP what sort of TypeError subclass a function/method should throw if passed an invalid parameter type? If so, how?

Rethrowing an exception out of Scatter-Gather flow in Mule ESB

I have a very specific question, and i really searched the answer all over the place...
Here is a situation: i have a Scatter-Gather component with a custom aggregation strategy.
http://clip2net.com/s/j66jK8 - Image of a subflow
Semantic of this process is rather simple. Request comes with Basic Authentication Header, the upper road calls just empty java processor, which returns original payload, the lower road authenticates user over LDAP, and returns Boolean result of this authentication process. Custom aggregation class checks result and if authentication was OK, then returns original payload, which results from the road #1. If not OK, then throws exception. Nothing wrong here, it works.
There is a bit tricky thing. If a user passed wrong authentication data then exception occurs in ldap:bind module. According to documentation exception is propagated to the Scatter-Gather so i'm trying to catch it using this:
#Override
public MuleEvent aggregate(AggregationContext context) throws MuleException {
for (MuleEvent event: context.collectEventsWithExceptions()) {
event.getMessage().getExceptionPayload().getException().printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(event.getMessage().getExceptionPayload().getException());
}
MuleEvent result = DefaultMuleEvent.copy(context.getEvents().get(0));
if (!(Boolean) context.getEvents().get(1).getMessage().getPayload()) {
throw new SecurityException();
}
return result;
}
BUT!
As a result i see exception which stacktrace does not have javax.naming.AuthenticationException which was rased by ldap:bind component, and was printed to log automaticaly (see below).
So, my question is: how can i reach and rethrow this javax.naming.AuthenticationException exception out of Custom Aggregation Class?
I'd appreciate all you ideas and help. Thank you in advance.

]. Message payload is of type: NullPayload
On a CompositeRoutingException, you can call:
exception.getExceptions().values()
to get an Array of Throwables thrown from within the scatter-gather. Then just re-throw the appropriate exception.

Also log every exception at error level

Using Groovy / Grails and log4j is there any way to ensure every exception thrown in the code is logged at error level.
Rather than having to find every catch block and explictly log it?
If not groovy / grails - a java suggestion will suffice.
Thanks
I don't believe there's any way to do this for handled exceptions, but you can do it for unhandled exceptions by adding the following to UrlMappings.groovy
"500"(controller: 'error')
Then create an ErrorController.groovy under grails-app/controllers
class ErrorController {
def index() {
Throwable exception = request?.exception?.cause
log.error 'something bad happened', exception
}
}

Groovy end exception different from exception thrown

I am running into an extremely strange behavior in Groovy. When I throw an exception from a closure in a Script, the end exception that was thrown was different.
Here are the code and the details:
public class TestDelegate {
def method(Closure closure) {
closure.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST);
closure.delegate = this;
closure.call();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Make Script from File
File dslFile = new File("src/Script.dsl");
GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell();
Script dslScript = shell.parse(dslFile);
TestDelegate myDelegate = new TestDelegate();
dslScript.metaClass.methodMissing = {
// will run method(closure)
String name, arguments ->
myDelegate.invokeMethod(name, arguments);
}
dslScript.metaClass.propertyMissing = {
String name ->
println "Will throw error now!"
throw new MyOwnException("errrrror");
}
dslScript.run();
}
}
class MyOwnException extends Exception {
public MyOwnException(String message) {
super(message);
}
}
Script.dsl:
method {
println a;
}
So the plan is that when I run the main() method in TestDelegate, it will run the DSL script, which calls for the method method(). Not finding it in the script, it will invoke methodMissing, which then invokes method() from myDelegate, which in turns invoke the closure, setting the delegate to the testDelegate. So far, so good. Then the closure is supposed to try printing out "a", which is not defined and will thus set off propertyMissing, which will will throw MyOwnException.
When I run the code, however, I get the following output:
Will throw error now!
Exception in thread "main" groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: a for class: TestDelegate
Now, it must have reached that catch block, since it printed "Will throw error now!" It must have thrown MyOwnException too! But somewhere along the lines, MyOwnException was converted to MissingPropertyException, and I have no idea why. Does anyone have any idea?
P.S. if I remove closure.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST) from TestDelegate#method(), the code acts as expected and throws MyOwnException. But I really need the setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST) for my DSL project. And I would prefer to know the root cause of this rather than just removing a line or two and see that it works without understanding why.
I think this is what essentially happens: With a delegate-first resolve strategy, the Groovy runtime first tries to access property a on myDelegate, which results in a MissingPropertyException because no such property exists. Then it tries propertyMissing, which causes a MyOwnException to be thrown. Eventually the runtime gives up and rethrows the first exception encountered (a design decision), which happens to be the MissingPropertyException.
With an owner-first resolve strategy, propertyMissing is consulted first, and hence MyOwnException is eventually rethrown.
Looking at the stack trace and source code underneath should provide more evidence.
