modifying the testing templates

[eeno]

Where can I find a reference documenting the various means of
modifying the grails templates?

For instance, I'm seeing stuff like "@artifact.package@" and
"${className}", etc. in the files under src/templates/ -  I'd
like to see what other variables are accessible from these
templates.

For instance...  What if I wanted to modify the testing/UnitTest.groovy
template to something like this:

@artifact.package@
import grails.test.mixin.*
import grails.test.mixin.support.*
import org.junit.*
import static org.junit.Assert.*


@TestMixin(GrailsUnitTestMixin)
class @artifact.name@ {

   void testMyClass() {

      fail "Implement MyClass!"
   }
}

... I want to replace the literal string 'MyClass', with the name
of the actual class under test, so that it looked more like this:


class mypackage.FooBar

import grails.test.mixin.*
import grails.test.mixin.support.*
import org.junit.*
import static org.junit.Assert.*


@TestMixin(GrailsUnitTestMixin)
class FooBar {

   void testFooBar() {

      fail "Implement FooBar!"
   }
}

I just want to know where I can find what all variables are available
from within artifact and scaffolding templates.

Any clue would be welcome, and appreciated - I'm sorry if I've missed
anything obvious in the docs.

I'm not sure there is documentation as such, like so many things in
Grails the only definitive answer is in the source code.  These
particular cases appear to be hard-coded in
scripts/_GrailsCreateArtifacts.groovy.

Excellent, many thanks!   You are a gentleman, and a scholar!  (c8=

... and indeed I was able to confirm that there are just 4 different
variables available which can all be found with within the
...templates//testing/* files anyhow:

@artifact.name@
@artifact.package@
@artifact.superclass@
@artifact.testclass@

( alas I was hoping to have easy access to the name of the class under
test without the 'Tests' suffix )


Cheers

The events mechanism may come to your rescue here, as createArtifact
fires an event that provides that class name as a parameter, so it looks
like you could define in your _Events.groovy:

eventCreatedArtefact = { file, className ->
  ant.replace(file:file, token:'@artifact.classUnderTest@', value:className)
}

(yes, it is eventCreatedArtefact, the script doesn't agree with itself
as to whether it should be "ifact" or "efact" and uses both in different
contexts...)
