Setup mocks for task queue

To set up mocks for the Task Queue service using App Engine stubs in Java, you can follow these steps:

Add the necessary dependencies to your project:
- Include the appengine-api-stubs dependency in your project's build file (e.g., Maven or Gradle) to access the App Engine stubs.
- Make sure you have the appropriate versions of the App Engine SDK and testing dependencies.
Set up the App Engine testing environment:
- Create an instance of LocalTaskQueueTestConfig from the com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing package.
- Configure the task queue settings according to your test requirements (e.g., maximum task execution time, number of task retries, etc.).
- Set the created LocalTaskQueueTestConfig as the task queue configuration using QueueFactory.setDefaultQueueConfig().
Create and execute test cases:
- Use the LocalTaskQueueTestConfig to create an instance of LocalTaskQueueTestConfig.TaskCountDownLatch to track task execution.
- Add tasks to the task queue using QueueFactory.getQueue().add() or other relevant methods.
- Optionally, you can use the LocalTaskQueueTestConfig.TaskCountDownLatch.await() method to wait for tasks to complete execution.
- Verify the expected behavior and assertions in your test cases.

Here's an example that demonstrates setting up mocks for the Task Queue service using App Engine stubs:

javaCopy codeimport com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueFactory;
import com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing.LocalServiceTestHelper;
import com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing.LocalTaskQueueTestConfig;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;

public class TaskQueueTest {

    private final LocalServiceTestHelper testHelper = new LocalServiceTestHelper(
            new LocalTaskQueueTestConfig()
    );

    @BeforeEach
    public void setup() {
        testHelper.setUp();
    }

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        testHelper.tearDown();
    }

    @Test
    public void testTaskExecution() {
        // Set up your test case

        // Add tasks to the task queue
        QueueFactory.getQueue("my-queue").addAsync();

        // Perform actions that should trigger task execution

        // Wait for task execution to complete (optional)
        LocalTaskQueueTestConfig.TaskCountDownLatch latch =
                testHelper.getTaskQueueTestConfig().getTaskCountDownLatch(1);
        latch.await();

        // Verify the expected behavior and assertions
        assertEquals(0, latch.getCount());
        // ...
    }

    // Other test cases

}

In the above example, we set up the LocalTaskQueueTestConfig as part of the test environment using the LocalServiceTestHelper. We add tasks to the task queue using QueueFactory.getQueue().addAsync(), and optionally wait for task execution to complete using LocalTaskQueueTestConfig.TaskCountDownLatch.await(). Finally, we perform assertions to verify the expected behavior.

By using App Engine stubs, you can effectively mock and simulate the Task Queue service behavior during unit testing, allowing you to test task execution, scheduling, and other related functionalities of your application.
