Codecs fail in controller unit tests

[barnesjd]

I have added a PasswordCodec per this Grails page, and it works great while running my application.  However, when I run my tests, I get the failures below for the testSave() and testUpdate() cases.  Is there something special I should do for tests involving codecs?

| Failure:  testUpdate(ww1.domain.UserControllerTests)
|  groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.String.encodeAsPassword() is applicable for argument types: () values: []

It may depend on what version of Grails you are using and what type of
test it is.  If this is a unit test that uses GrailsUnitTestMixin you
may need to do something like this:

mockCodec(PasswordCodec)

Does that help?

Thanks for the reply, Jeff!  I should have mentioned that I am using Grails 2.0.1.  I don't see an annotation called MockCodec.  I'll google around and see if I can find exactly how I add this.

I don't think there is an annotation called MockCodec.  There is a
method called mockCodec which you can call from your test like this…

mockCodec(PasswordCodec)

Does that make your test succeed?

Thanks a lot! Jeff Brown-3.

Before that I test the codec only in integration.

I think the guide/testing need a part and some examples about how to unit-test the Codec. :)

That worked, Jeff!  Thanks for the help.  I added that call to my setup() method:

    void setup()
    {
        mockCodec(utils.PasswordCodec)
    }
