更具体地说,如果HTTP客户端将超时设置为5秒,我希望服务器在10秒后发送响应。这将确保我的客户端因超时而失败,从而使这种情况自动化。

我很欣赏服务器端的伪代码(任何轻量级的http服务器,例如jetty或其他任何东西都可以。)

您不希望在单元测试中实际连接到真实服务器。如果您想实际连接到真实服务器,那么从技术上讲,这就是集成测试。

由于您正在测试客户端代码,因此您应该使用单元测试,这样您就不需要连接到真实服务器。相反,您可以使用模拟对象来模拟与服务器的连接。这真的很棒,因为你可以模拟如果使用真实服务器很难实现的条件(比如在会话中间连接失败等)。

使用模拟进行单元测试也会使测试运行得更快,因为您不需要连接任何东西,因此没有I / O延迟。

由于您链接到另一个问题,我将使用该代码示例(为清楚起见,这里重新编写)我创建了一个名为MyClass的类,其方法foo()连接到URL并返回true或false如果连接成功。正如相关问题所做的那样:

public class MyClass {

private String url = "http://example.com";

public boolean foo(){
    try {
           HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
           HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
           con.setRequestMethod("HEAD");

           con.setConnectTimeout(5000); //set timeout to 5 seconds

           return (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);
        } catch (java.net.SocketTimeoutException e) {
           return false;
        } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
           return false;
        }

    }
}

我将使用Mockito来制作模拟对象,因为这是一个比较流行的模拟对象库。此外,由于代码在foo方法中创建了一个新的URL对象(这不是最好的设计),我将使用PowerMock库来拦截对new的调用。在实际的生产代码中,我建议使用依赖注入或至少方法提取来创建工厂方法的URL对象,以便您可以覆盖它以简化测试。但由于我坚持你的榜样,我不会改变任何事情。

以下是使用Mockito和Powermock测试超时的测试代码:

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.SocketTimeoutException;    
import java.net.URL;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
//This tells powermock that we will modify MyClass.class in this test 
//- needed for changing the call to new URL
@PrepareForTest(MyClass.class) 
public class ConnectionTimeOutTest {

String url = "http://example.com";
@Test
public void timeout() throws Exception{
    //create a mock URL and mock HttpURLConnection objects
    //that will be our simulated server
    URL mockURL = PowerMockito.mock(URL.class);
    HttpURLConnection mockConnection = PowerMockito.mock(HttpURLConnection.class);

    //powermock will intercept our call to new URL( url) 
    //and return our mockURL object instead!
    PowerMockito.whenNew(URL.class).withArguments(url).thenReturn(mockURL);
    //This tells our mockURL class to return our mockConnection object when our client
    //calls the open connection method
    PowerMockito.when(mockURL.openConnection()).thenReturn(mockConnection);



    //this is our exception to throw to simulate a timeout
    SocketTimeoutException expectedException = new SocketTimeoutException();

    //tells our mockConnection to throw the timeout exception instead of returnig a response code
    PowerMockito.when(mockConnection.getResponseCode()).thenThrow(expectedException);

    //now we are ready to actually call the client code
    // cut = Class Under Test
    MyClass cut = new MyClass();

    //our code should catch the timeoutexception and return false
    assertFalse(cut.foo());

   // tells mockito to expect the given void methods calls
   //this will fail the test if the method wasn't called with these arguments
   //(for example, if you set the timeout to a different value)
    Mockito.verify(mockConnection).setRequestMethod("HEAD");
    Mockito.verify(mockConnection).setConnectTimeout(5000);

}
}

此测试在不到一秒的时间内运行,这比实际超时实际等待超过5秒要快得多!
