Enum LoaderType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<LoaderType>
      org.easetech.easytest.loader.LoaderType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<LoaderType>

public enum LoaderType
extends Enum<LoaderType>

An Enum identifying the type of loader to be used for loading the data. A loader type can identify a loader to be framework based loader(CSV , Excel or XML) or it can identify the loader to be user defined loader(CUSTOM). Note that a user can provide a loader whose loaderType is already supported by the framework and still choose to mark it CUSTOM. In such a scenario, the framework will use the Loader provided by the user to load the test data.

Enum Constant Summary

CSV
Identifies that the type of file is a framework based CSV file.

CUSTOM
Identifies that the type of file is a user defined custom type.

EXCEL
Identifies that the type of file is a framework based EXCEL file.

NONE
Identifies that the user has not specified any specific loader type.

XML
Identifies that the type of file is a framework based XML file.

Method Summary

static LoaderType	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static LoaderType[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

CSV

public static final LoaderType CSV

Identifies that the type of file is a framework based CSV file. This file should support the structure as identified in CSVDataLoader

XML

public static final LoaderType XML

Identifies that the type of file is a framework based XML file. This is currently just a place holder and will be supported in future.

EXCEL

public static final LoaderType EXCEL

Identifies that the type of file is a framework based EXCEL file. This is currently just a place holder and will be supported in future.

CUSTOM

public static final LoaderType CUSTOM

Identifies that the type of file is a user defined custom type. This option is used in conjunction with DataLoader annotation.

NONE

public static final LoaderType NONE

Identifies that the user has not specified any specific loader type. The framework should identify the type of file from its extension. If the file type is any one of the available standard types(XML, Excel, XLS) appropriate loaders will be called. Else the framework will assume the file to be loaded by the custom loader. In such a case, a custom loader implementation should be provided as part of the DataLoader's loader attribute declaration.

Method Detail

values

public static LoaderType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LoaderType c : LoaderType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LoaderType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
