JCR Mocks

Since Magnolia 4.5 we provide the package info.magnolia.test.mock.jcr containing proper mock's for javax.jcr.Node, javax.jcr.Session etc. They're extending abstract types provided in jackrabbit-commons. The types of the Content API are now basically just wrapping these new mocks. If required you can always create a MockContent from a MockNode or a MockHierarchyManager from a MockSession.

With the help of info.magnolia.test.mock.jcr.SessionTestUtil MockNodes can be created from properties files

MockSession session = SessionTestUtil.createSession("test", getClass().getResourceAsStream("sample.properties"));

as well as from String:

MockSession session = SessionTestUtil.createSession("testWorkspace",
    "/foo/bar.@type=mgnl:content",
    "/foo/bar/sub1.@uuid=1",
    "/foo/bar/subpath.property=testName");

Of course there's also an proper API for it:

MockNode root = new MockNode();
root.addNode(MetaData.DEFAULT_META_NODE);
root.setProperty("stringProperty", "HelloWorld");
