Using Cucumber with Gradle with tags

I want to run Cucumber from Gradle with the possibility to specify tags. Here is a build.gradle to do this:

• gradle cucumber - will run all cucumber scenarios but not these tagged with @Ignore
• gradle cucumber -P tags=@Smoketest - will run all smoketests but again will ignore these with the tag @Ignore.

Arduino 1.5 does not start on Java 7

After updating to OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks and also update to Java 7 64 bit the Arduino app does not start any longer.

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

When I try to start it the icon flash up in the dock but nothing else happens. Further on no useful messages appears in log - just:

30.03.14 12:36:48,231 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[279]: (cc.arduino.Arduino.86448[1902]) Exited with code: 1

To solve the problem I have to reinstall Java 1.6. An forum post in the Microchip forum give some further information about the installation.

Infinitest with TestNG 6.8 support

Infinitest is an eclipse plugin which executes after editing files all corresponding unittests. After using infinitest for a while I realize that some features of TestNG 6.8 are not available by infinitest itself (in my case assertNotEquals). And therefor result in a reported problem.

Fortunately the project is availible on github and so I fork the project and change it to support TestNG 6.8. An pull request to the original project is waiting.

If you want to try it on your own risk - you can download it here. To install it in your Eclipse you have to unzip the file in the eclipse/dropins directory. I have test the version on Win7 and OSX with Eclipse 3.7 - and it seems to work ;-) 

Unittest to verify that static method is called

.. using PowerMock, Mockito, TestNG

In example the class under test (cut) has a method showErrorMessage(msg). This method will call the static method JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(...) to show a error message.

I wrote a unittest to

1. mock the showMessageDialog call - because otherwise the test will fail with an java.lang.VerifyError (UIManager is not initialized)
2. verify that showMessageDialog is called + with the right parameter
