Minimalistic Lotus Notes behaviors reproduction for unit testing purpose. Written in kotlin an designed to be used from kotlin or java.

The goal is to be able to create fake documents, collections, databases that will behave like Lotus Notes would need of a real notes database access. Whith it you can do unit tests of your Lotus Notes java application, without network or disk access and with better reproducibility.

This project is discontinued, and stay here for consultation purpose. The project won't be maintened and no support will be provided.

// Create a new document stub
DocumentStub docStub = new DocumentStub();

// Add some fields
docStub.set("MyStringField", "Hello");
docStub.set("MyNumerciField", 42);
docStub.set("MyDateTimeField", DateTime.now());

// Get the notes implementation
Document doc = stub.getImplementation();

// Pass the reference of the implementation to your code for testing purpose
System.out.println(doc.getItemValueString("MyStringField"));    // Print : "Hello"

// Create a new document stub
val docStub = DocumentStub()

// Add some fields
docStub["MyStringField"] = "Hello"
docStub["MyNumerciField"] = 42
docStub["MyDateTimeField"] = DateTime.now()

// Get the notes implementation
val doc = stub.implementation

// Pass the reference of the implementation to your code for testing purpose
println(doc.getItemValueString("MyStringField"));    // Print : "Hello"
