1 ABOUT ME Email: Twitter / Ello : @ysb33r ysb33r@gmail.com

3 . 1 SDKMAN Manages parallel version of multiple SDKs Mostly for (but not limited to) JVM-related systems Windows users can use Posh-GVM (Powershell) Windows 10 Bash ?? curl -s http://get.sdkman.io | bash

3 . 3 SdkMan: Posh-GVM: @sdkmanager http://sdkman.io https://github.com/ ofreud/posh-gvm

3 . 4 APACHE GROOVY A dynamic & static typed language for the JVM with REPL capability.

4 . 1 GROOVY VS JAVA In Groovy: All class members are public by default No need to create getters/setters for public elds Both static & dynamic typing supported def means Object

4 . 2 CALLING METHODS class Foo { void bar( def a,def b ) {} } def foo = new Foo() foo.bar( '123',456 ) foo.bar '123', 456 foo.with { bar '123', 456 }

4 . 3 CALLING METHODS WITH CLOSURES class Foo { void bar( def a,Closure b ) {} } def foo = new Foo() foo.bar( '123',{ println it } ) foo.bar ('123') { println it } foo.bar '123', { println it }

4 . 4 MAPS IN GROOVY Hashmaps in Groovy are simple to use def myMap = [ plugin : 'java' ] Maps are easy to pass inline to functions project.apply( plugin : 'java' ) Which can also be written as project.with { apply plugin : 'java' }

4 . 5 LISTS IN GROOVY Lists in Groovy are simple too def myList = [ 'clone', 'http://github.com/ysb33r/GradleLectures' ] This makes it possible write a method call as args 'clone', 'http://github.com/ysb33r/GradleLectures'

4 . 6 CLOSURE DELEGATION IN GROOVY When a symbol cannot be resolved within a closure, Groovy will look elsewhere In Groovy speak this is called a Delegate. This can be programmatically controlled via the Closure.delegate property.

4 . 7 CLOSURE DELEGATION IN GROOVY class Foo { def target } class Bar { Foo foo = new Foo() void doSomething( Closure c ) { c.delegate = foo c() } } Bar bar = new Bar() bar.doSomething { target = 10 }

4 . 8 MORE CLOSURE MAGIC If a Groovy class has a method call(Closure), the object can be passed a closure directly. class Foo { def call( Closure c) { /* ... */ } } Foo foo = new Foo() foo { println 'Hello, world' } // This avoids ugly syntax foo.call({ println 'Hello, world' })

4 . 9 SMOOTH OPERATOR: ELVIS ?: // Selecting a default value if variable is not set String a String b = 'def' // Prints 'foo' println a ?: 'foo' // Print 'def' println b ?: 'foo'

4 . 10 SMOOTH OPERATOR: SAFE NAVIGATION ?. // Returns a value if not-null, otherwise null String a String b = 'def' assert a?.size() == null assert b?.size() == 3 println a.size() // Throws NPE

4 . 11 4 . 12 SMOOTH OPERATOR: SPREAD *. // Apply operation to each member in collection def a = [ 'a','bb','c' ] assert a*.size() == [ 1,2,1 ]

STATIC VS DYNAMIC By default code in Groovy is compiled with dynamic typing. Typing can be modifed by selective application of annotations: @CompileStatic - compile static typing @CompileDynamic - compile dynamic typing @TypeChecked - compile dynamic, but check types Apply to classes & methods.

4 . 13 IS GROOVY SLOWER THAN JAVA? Yes and No. Context is critical Russell Winder has done number of experiments JSON parsing in Groovy is faster than Java. Develop rst, measure, then optimise! Remember C++ → C → Assembler optimisation?

4 . 14 APACHE GROOVY Apache Groovy home Documentation Twitter @ApacheGroovy http://groovy-lang.org/ http://groovy-lang.org/documentation.html

5 . 2 GRADLE Very modern, next-generation build & deployment pipeline tool DSL is based on Groovy Vast collection of plugins

GRADLE apply plugin : 'groovy' repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4' testCompile "org.gebish:geb-spock:0.13.0" testCompile "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-api:2.53.0" testRuntime "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:2.53.0" testRuntime "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver:2.53.0" }

5 . 3 GRADLE Make it easy to integrate development and complex testing Deploy local & to remote sites via plugins Use Docker local & remote "I do not have means to test on my machine" becomes less of an argument.

5 . 4 GRADLE JVM POLYGOT Build a distributable application packaged as as ZIP Runnable via shell script or batch le Contains classes written Java, Groovy & Kotlin source Test source code with Spock Framework

5 . 5 GRADLE JVM POLYGOT apply plugin : 'java' apply plugin : 'groovy' apply plugin : 'com.zoltu.kotlin' apply plugin : 'application' repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.3' compile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.0.1-1' testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4' } version = '1.0' mainClassName = "gradle.workshop.HelloJava"

5 . 6 GRADLE DEPENDENCY MANAGEMENT Easy to use Flexible to con gure for exceptions Uses dependencies closure First word on line is usually name of a con guration. Con gurations are usually supplied by plugins. Dependencies are downloaded from repositories Maven coordinates are used as format

5 . 7 GRADLE REPOSITORIES Speci ed within a repositories closure Processed in listed order to look for dependencies jcenter() preferred open-source repo. mavenLocal(), mavenCentral(), maven {} Ivy repositories via ivy {} Flat-directory repositories via flatDir

5 . 8 GRADLE REPOSITORIES repositories { jcenter() mavenCentral() maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" } ivy { url 'file://path/to/repo' layout 'pattern', { artifact '[module]/[revision]/[artifact](.[ext])' ivy '[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml' } } }

5 . 9 BUILDSCRIPT The buildscript closure is special It tells Gradle what to load into the classpath before evaluating the script itself. It also tells it where to look for those dependencies. Even though Gradle 2.1 has added a new way of adding external plugins, buildscript are much more exible.

5 . 10 EXTENSIONS Extensions are global con guration blocks added by plugins. Example: The jruby-gradle-base plugin will add a jruby block. apply plugin: 'com.github.jruby-gradle.base' jruby { defaultVersion = '1.7.11' }

5 . 11 GRADLE TASKS Can be based upon a task type task runSomething ( type : Exec ) { command 'git' args 'clone', 'https://bitbucket.com/ysb33r/GradleWorkshop' } Can be free-form task hellowWorld << { println 'Hello, world' }

5 . 12 5 . 13 GRADLE: BUILDING C++ apply plugin : 'cpp'

GRADLE: BUILDING C++ Need to change convention from traditional C++ projects .cpp les go in src/${name}/cpp Exported headers les go in src/${name}/headers Local header les should be in src/${name}/cpp Object les will end up in ${buildDir}/objs Binary les will end up in ${buildDir}/binaries

5 . 14 5 . 15 BUILDING C++: PROJECT LAYOUT ├── build.gradle └── src └─── hello ├── cpp │ └─── hello.cpp │ └── headers └─── hello.hpp

5 . 16 BUILDING C++: EXISTING PROJECTS Source directories can be adjusted Alternative compiler locations

5 . 17 BUILDING C++: ALTERNATIVE SOURCE sources { cpp { source { srcDir "myDir" include "**/*.cpp" } } }

BUILDING C++: TOOL SUPPORT Operating System Tool Chain Of cial Linux gcc, clang Y MacOS X Xcode Y gcc-macports, clang- macports N Windows Visual C++, gcc-cygwin32, gcc-mingw Y gcc-cygwin64 N

5 . 18 5 . 19 BUILDING C++: EXECUTABLE model { components { hello(NativeExecutableSpec) } }

BUILDING C++: CUSTOM COMPILER model { toolChains { gcc(Gcc) { path '/installed/in/foo/dir/gcc' eachPlatform { cppCompiler.withArguments { args -> args << "-DNDEBUG" } } } } }

5 . 20 BUILDING C++: OTHER FEATURES Cross compilation Multi-architecture targets Set compiler & linker ags Multi-variant builds

5 . 21 BUILDING C++: WEAKNESS Currently only have built-in support for CUnit Only platform con guration tool support is CMake No Autotools equivalent DSL can be slicker

7 . 1 LET’S GET UNIT TESTING class CalculatorSpec extends Specification { def "A calculator must be able to add numbers"() { given: 'That I have a calculator' def calc = new Calculator() when: "I add 2, 3 and -20" def answer = calc.plus 2,3,-20 then: "The answer should be -15" answer == -15 } }

7 . 4 SPOCK FRAMEWORK Built on top of JUnit 4.x. Use it with all your JUnit tools! Use for more than just unit tests. Mocks & stubs included Easily test Java, Groovy, Kotlin, Scala etc.

7 . 5 DATA-DRIVEN TESTS @Unroll def "A calculator must be able to multiply"() { given: 'That I have a multiplying calculator' def calc = new Calculator() expect: "The answer to be #answer" answer == calc.multiply (a,b,c) where: "The operation is #a * #b * #c" a | b | c || answer 3 | 7 | 5 || 105 1 | 3 | 0 || 0 2 | -1| 1 || -2 }

7 . 6 ANOTHER COOL FAILURE REPORT

7 . 7 HANDLING EXCEPTIONS def "Dividing by zero should throw an exception"() { given: 'That I have a dividing calculator' def calc = new Calculator() when: "I divide by zero" calc.divide 1,0 then: "I expect an error" thrown(ArithmeticException) }

7 . 8 MOCK OUT INTERFACES public interface RemoteCalculator { public Number plus(Number... args); } def "Remote calculator"() { given: "A remote calculator is available" def calc = Mock(RemoteCalculator) when: "Multiple items are sent for addition" calc.plus 1,2,3,4,5 then: "The calculator is only called once" 1 * calc.plus(_) }

7 . 9 SPOCK FRAMEWORK Spock Framework: Spock Reports http://spockframework.github.io/spock/docs/1.0/index.html https://github.com/renatoathaydes/spock-reports

7 . 10 WEBSITE TESTING One of the most predominant area of testing of this decade Test-driven webpage development is less effort in long run Selenium is the leading tool Selenium tests can be overly verbose

8 . 1 TRIVIAL TEST EXAMPLE def "Learn about testing checkboxes"() { when: "I go to that the-internet site" go "${webroot}/checkboxes" then: 'I am expecting Checkbox page' $('h3').text() == 'Checkboxes' and: 'The checkbox states are no & yes' $(By.id('checkboxes')).$('input')*.@checked == ['','true'] }

GEB Integrates with Spock Framework JUnit TestNG Cucumber-JVM Makes Selenium readable Anything you can do in Selenium you can do in Geb

9 . 2 TRIVIAL TEST EXAMPLE COMPLETE class CheckboxExampleSpec extends GebSpec { def "Learn about testing checkboxes"() { when: "I go to that the-internet site" go "${webroot}/checkboxes" then: 'I am expecting Checkbox page' $('h3').text() == 'Checkboxes' and: 'The checkbox states are no & yes' $(By.id('checkboxes')).$('input')*.@checked == ['','true'] } }

9 . 3 GRABBING SCREENSHOTS class CheckboxReportingSpec extends GebReportingSpec { def 'Learn about testing checkboxes'() { when: 'I go to that the-internet site' go "${webroot}/checkboxes" report 'checkbox-screen' then: 'I am expecting Checkbox page' $('h3').text() == 'Checkboxes' and: 'The checkbox states are no & yes' $(By.id('checkboxes')).$('input')*.@checked == ['','true'] } } Keep record during test Stores HTML & PNG.

9 . 5 @GemFramework http://gebish.org

10 . 2 RATPACK FRAMEWORK Set of Java libraries for building modern HTTP applications. Built on Java 8, Netty and reactive principles. Groovy syntax for those who prefer it.

RATPACK QUICKSTART SERVER @Grapes([ @Grab('io.ratpack:ratpack-groovy:1.2.0'), @Grab('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.12') ]) import static ratpack.groovy.Groovy.ratpack ratpack { handlers { get { render "Hello World!nn" } get(":name") { render "Hello $pathTokens.name!nn" } } }

10 . 3 10 . 4 RATPACK’S TESTHTTPCLIENT Can be used standalone Use maven coordinates: io.ratpack:ratpack-test:1.2.0

RATPACK’S TESTHTTPCLIENT ApplicationUnderTest app = new ApplicationUnderTest() { @Override URI getAddress() { "http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}".toURI() } } @Delegate TestHttpClient client = TestHttpClient.testHttpClient(app) def "The echo path should return what is send to it"() { given: "A simple text request" requestSpec { pay -> pay.body.type(MediaType.PLAIN_TEXT_UTF8).text(' ') } when: "The data is posted" post '/' then: "It should be echoed back" response.statusCode == 200 response.body.text == 'You said: ' }

10 . 5 QUICK HTTP TESTING Quickly point to a remote or in-process server Build payload in a simplistic manner Execute the verb Check the response in a readable manner

10 . 6 QUICK HTTP TESTING def "The echo path should return what is send to it"() { given: "A simple text request" requestSpec { pay -> pay.body.type(MediaType.PLAIN_TEXT_UTF8).text(' ') } when: "The data is posted" post '/' then: "It should be echoed back" response.statusCode == 200 response.body.text == 'You said: ' }

10 . 7 OTHER GR8-UNIVERSE TOOLS Grails - Build web applications fast Griffon - Best way to build desktop apps Grooscript - Groovy to Javascript Groovy VFS - File operations on remote servers using variety of protocols Sshoogr - SSH & SCP Groowin - WinRM
