Test Data Container for ABAP Cloud
Test Data Container for ABAP Cloud
In the current version of ABAP Cloud, ABAP doesn't support test data containers. This simple solution is intended to make larger sets of test data easily available. The idea is to make the data available via platforms like GitHub, as these have built-in editors for JSON and XML, making data maintenance and handling easier. You can find more informations about the project in this blog post on Software-Heroes.
In this case, the data is loaded from GitHub and made available to the test case. JSON, XML, and RAW are currently supported. The data is mapped generically, so the source data type must also match the target data type. This allows for different formats and data types.
If you would like an example of the configuration and data, you can find further information in the unit test of the ZCLTESTCONTAINER class.
DATA(configuration) = NEW zcl_tdc_github_config( test_file_path ).DATA(container) = zcl_test_container_factory=>create( configuration ).container->get_json_data( CHANGING generic = result ).
