[mary-dev] testing a NLP component

[fxavier at ircam.fr]

Success!

Many thanks, it works. However, I wanted to print onto the output the
result, ie the text preprocessed (whole code below). According to the
lines

       String output = new String(result.toString());
       System.out.println(output);

I should see the result? But what I get is:

       marytts.datatypes.MaryData at 725967

Any ideas?


Best,
Florent



public class preprocessFRtest{




    /**
     * We start the Mary system.
     * @throws Exception
     */

   @BeforeClass
    public static void startMARY() throws Exception {
         if (Mary.currentState() == Mary.STATE_OFF) {
             Mary.startup();
         }
         if (!MaryUtils.isLog4jConfigured()) {
             BasicConfigurator.configure();
         }
    }

    /**
     * This method test the preprocess module by reading the xml document
wildStuff.tokens.
     * @input : TOKENS
     * @throws Exception
     */
    @Test
    public void canProcessWildStuff() throws Exception {
       // Set up system under test:
       MaryModule preprocessor = 
ModuleRegistry.getModule(marytts.language.de.Preprocess.class);
       MaryData input = new MaryData(MaryDataType.TOKENS, Locale.GERMAN);
       input.readFrom(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("wildStuff.tokens"));
       // exercise system under test:
       MaryData result = preprocessor.process(input);

       //show output
       String output = new String(result.toString());
       System.out.println(output);
       // verify expected result:
       assertNotNull(result);
    }
