What is the least-dirty way to expose private javascript vars for testing? -

-

i've got state machine in js (to simplify) has initial state set before happens.

define(function() {   var state = 'initial',       exports = {};    exports.getstate = function() {     return state;   };    exports.dosomething = function() {     state = 'newstate';   };    return exports; });

because state permanent until app reloaded, after first test state never 'initial' again, , need way reset it.

which least dirty way of doing this? should i...

a) make state public mark private _?

define(function() {   var exports = {};    exports._state = 'initial'    exports.getstate = function() {     return this.state;   };    exports.dosomething = function() {     this.state = 'newstate';   };    return exports; });

b) make state writable via function?

define(function() {   var state = 'initial',       exports = {};    exports.getstate = function() {     return state;   };    exports.dosomething = function() {     state = 'newstate';   };    if(window.xxtests) {     window.xxtests.module = {       setstate: function(newstate) {         state = newstate;       }     };   }    return exports; });

(where xx app prefix , xxtests defined part of test runner)

or

c) else entirely didn't think of?

your thoughts , suggestions appreciated.

general answer: better way of testing component without exposing private data putting test code inside component. of course becomes quite dirty if language doesn't support in clean way (like d does).

in case suggest second way (i mean option b), because doesn't expose private data unless explicitly needed (only during tests):

if(youaredoingatest) {     exports.reset=function() { state='initial'; }; }

java - Jmockit String final length method mocking Issue -

using jmockit 1.2 jar, trying mock string's length method getting unexpected invocation exception: failed: test java.lang.illegalstateexception: missing invocation mocked type @ point; please make sure such invocations appear after declaration of suitable mock field or parameter @ stringdemo.testa$1.<init>(testa.java:17) @ stringdemo.testa.test(testa.java:13) i using testng: @test public void test() throws exception { new expectations() { @mocked("length") string astring; { astring.length(); result = 2; } }; system.out.println(a.showa("test")); } } actual class a: public class { public static int showa(string str){ int a= str.length(); return a; } } this wrong way of recording expected results. shouldn't mock , record string's length() method, record showa() instead. here solution @suppresswarnings("unused...

What is the difference between data design and data model(ERD) -

i have google question , find answer in day. know, data design many many table have list column,and mark pk , fk. why er-diagram have find this? data design process of designing database. main output of data design detailed logical data model of database. some people data design includes of needed logical , physical design choices , physical storage parameters needed generate design in data definition language. technically, database analysis, database analysts (dbas) trained do. while person can both data design , database analysis, these 2 different tasks. data design models data. database analysis takes model , applies 1 or more database engines (relational, hierarchical, nosql). a logical data model 1 of main outputs of data design. data model represented entity relationship diagram, or er diagram.
