为什么我会在程序运行时偶尔出现NPE?

标签: java debugging junit bluej

我正在使用BlueJ中的JUnit为我的GiftSelector类编写测试类。当我运行testGetCountForAllPresents()方法时,我会在行上找到NullPointerException

assertEquals(true, santasSelector.getCountsForAllPresents().get(banana) == 3);

关于这个NPE的奇怪之处在于,当我运行测试一次时它很少出现,但是经常在我第二次运行测试时出现。有时直到我连续7-8次测试才会出现。

我得到的错误信息是: 没有异常消息。

  

GiftSelectortest.testGetCountForAllPresents第215行的NPE

我的测试类的代码是:

}

我只包含了引用getCountsForAllPresents()方法的测试方法。您会注意到,在每次调用包含assertEquals()方法的getCountForAllPresents()方法之前,我都添加了打印语句。有趣的是,在我获得NPE的行之前,print语句打印出HashMap返回的getCountForAllPresents()的正确值。

我注意到的另一个奇怪的事情是,当我使用BlueJ的内置调试器进行testGetCountForAllPresents()方法时,我注意到giftList3没有出现在{{1}中} santaMapHashMap中,但print语句仍会打印正确的计数,这意味着它必须知道santasSelector

giftList3的代码是:

getCountForAllPresents()

我应该解释/** * For each present, calculate the total number of children who have asked for that present. * * @return - a Map where Present objects are the keys and Integers (number of children requesting * a particular present) are the values. Returns null if santaMap is empty. */ public HashMap<Present, Integer> getCountsForAllPresents() { if(!santaMap.isEmpty()) { //This HashMap contains a mapping from each unique real world present, represented by it's toComparisonString(), to a Present object representing it HashMap<String, Present> uniquePresents = new HashMap<String, Present>(); //This HashMap contains a mapping from each Present object in uniquePresents to the number of times it's toComparisonString() is equal to another in santaMap HashMap<Present, Integer> presentFrequency = new HashMap<Present, Integer>(); for(GiftList wishlist: santaMap.values()) { for(Present present: wishlist.getAllPresents()) { //Have we already seen this present? if(uniquePresents.containsKey(present.toComparisonString())) { //If so, update the count in presentFrequency Integer tmp = presentFrequency.get(uniquePresents.get(present.toComparisonString())); tmp++; presentFrequency.put(uniquePresents.get(present.toComparisonString()), tmp); } else { //If not, add it to the maps uniquePresents and presentFrequency (with a frequency of 1) uniquePresents.put(present.toComparisonString(), present); presentFrequency.put(present, 1); } } } //Return a map with unique presents as keys and their frequencies as values return presentFrequency; } else { //If there are no mappings in Santa's map, return null return null; } } santaMap,其中HashMap个对象为关键字,Child个对象为值。它基本上将孩子映射到他们的圣诞愿望清单。 GiftList只能包含同一个孩子的一个心愿单。

我不知道为什么我要获得NPE,这与我编写santaMap方法的方式有关吗?我是如何实现测试方法/类的?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:4)

您的Present课程未覆盖hashCode()equals()。这意味着banana1bananaHashMap中将用作关键字的两个不同键。

让我们看看这里发生了什么。你有bananabanana1个对象 - 第一个中的两个,第二个中的一个。

getCountsForAllPresents()内,您有两个哈希映射。第一个是对象的比较字符串,第二个是对象本身。

添加您遇到的第一个香蕉。如果它是banana对象,您将拥有以下内容:

uniquePresents
banana-fruit-10 ➞ [banana instance]

presentFrequency
[banana instance] ➞ Integer(1)

你继续迭代。您遇到下一个banana对象。这是同一个对象。你会得到:

uniquePresents
banana-fruit-10 ➞ [banana instance]

presentFrequency
[banana instance] ➞ Integer(2)

现在进入banana1对象。它是一个不同的对象,但它具有相同的比较字符串!会发生什么?

这种情况属实:uniquePresents.containsKey(present.toComparisonString())。这意味着它进入了if的真实部分。

Integer tmp = presentFrequency.get(uniquePresents.get(present.toComparisonString()));

这意味着它将采用banana-fruit-10当前指向的对象,即 banana 对象 - 而不是banana1对象,获取其关联频率,并增加它。它也存储在同一个对象中。你现在拥有的是:

uniquePresents
banana-fruit-10 ➞ [banana instance]

presentFrequency
[banana instance] ➞ Integer(3)

请注意,presentFrequency根本没有banana1密钥。现在你返回这个对象。

当您尝试按banana检索时,它可以正常工作 - 断言有效。

但请记住,santaMap本身就是HashMap。这意味着没有保证订单。迭代器可能会为您提供giftList1giftList2giftList3,但它也可能会为您提供giftList3giftList1giftList2 - 或任何其他顺序。

那么当它首​​先给你giftList3时会发生什么?你最终会得到:

uniquePresents
banana-fruit-10 ➞ [banana1 instance]

presentFrequency
[banana1 instance] ➞ Integer(3)

为什么呢?因为banana1是第一个带有密钥banana-fruit-10的礼物,因此它将从现在开始使用。

发生这种情况时,当您尝试从返回的对象中获取banana时,该密钥在频率列表中不存在。它返回null - 并且有NullPointerException
