My project is using a Firebase Realtime Database as its DB storage. I am using MVC architecture with a repository and service layer. I'm trying to unit test a method in the service layer that adds a new user to the database repository.
I'm getting a null pointer exception on the line below and I don't know why. Any ideas?
User testUser = svc.SaveUserProfile(u);
Here is my unit test code:
public class RegistrationActivityTest {
UserService svc;
@Test
public void testAddUserToDb_WhenNone_ShouldSetAllProperties(){
//act
User u = new User("1", "John", "[email protected]", "Teacher");
User testUser = svc.SaveUserProfile(u);
//assert - that testUser is not null
assertNotNull(testUser);
//now assert that the user properties were set correctly
assertEquals("1", testUser.getUserId());
assertEquals("John", testUser.getName());
assertEquals("[email protected]", testUser.getEmail());
assertEquals("Teacher", testUser.getAccount());
}
Here is my service layer and interface code:
public class UserService implements IUserService {
//instance of DbContext for firebase handling
private DbContext dbContext;
public UserService(Context context){
super();
dbContext = new DbContext(context);
}
@Override
public User SaveUserProfile(User u) {
User user = new User();
user.setUserId(u.getUserId());
user.setName(u.getName());
user.setEmail(u.getEmail());
user.setAccount(u.getAccount());
dbContext.AddUserAccount(user);
return user;
}
Interface:
public interface IUserService {
User SaveUserProfile(User u);
}
