A Unit Testing + Guice Question
I would like to be able to have an individual unit test configure the
Principal object that Guice will inject into the component I'm
testing. Currently this is done in Guice Modules and thus doesn't
really allow you to change bindings on a test by test basis that I can
find. Anyone know of a way?
I've got a workable solution but it's not real pretty, bind
Principal.class to a TestPrincipalProvider (all exists today),
TestPrincipalProvider calls out to a new singleton object to get the
actual Principal. The individual tests can also get access to that
singleton and configure the result they'd like to be returned.
Singleton needs to be cleared in teardown.
It seems like there *must* be a way to do this on the fly with Guice
but I can't find it yet. I did some digging and found mention of some
introspection capabilities in Guice but nothing I tried seems to work,
and I've yet to locate any examples of anyone doing this.
Thoughts?
