      • publisherExecutorService

        public abstract java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService publisherExecutorService()
        ExecutorService to be used by the provided helper Publisher
      • createElement

        public abstract T createElement​(int element)
        Implement this method to match your expected element type. In case of implementing a simple Subscriber which is able to consume any kind of element simply return the incoming element element.

        Sometimes the Subscriber may be limited in what type of element it is able to consume, this you may have to implement this method such that the emitted element matches the Subscribers requirements. Simplest implementations would be to simply pass in the element as payload of your custom element, such as appending it to a String or other identifier.

        Warning: This method may be called concurrently by the helper publisher, thus it should be implemented in a thread-safe manner.

        Returns:
        element of the matching type T that will be delivered to the tested Subscriber
      • createHelperPublisher

        public org.reactivestreams.Publisher<TcreateHelperPublisher​(long elements)
        Helper method required for creating the Publisher to which the tested Subscriber will be subscribed and tested against.

        By default an asynchronously signalling Publisher is provided, which will use createElement(int) to generate elements type your Subscriber is able to consume.

        Sometimes you may want to implement your own custom custom helper Publisher - to validate behaviour of a Subscriber when facing a synchronous Publisher for example. If you do, it MUST emit the exact number of elements asked for (via the elements parameter) and MUST also must treat the following numbers of elements in these specific ways:

        • If elements is Long.MAX_VALUE the produced stream must be infinite.
        • If elements is 0 the Publisher should signal onComplete immediatly. In other words, it should represent a "completed stream".
