Execute commands programmatically from inside Karaf
Hi,
For our internal integration and regression tests tooling / devops, I'm
thinking of writting some code running inside karaf to be able to support
some kind of business profiles management (btw: nothing to do with Karaf
profiles here).
Our application is entirely configurable using karaf commands, I'm talking
about business configuration, not infrastructure or port configuration. At
the moment, we build simple text files that contains a list of commands to
be able to configure an empty system that we execute with the client
script. This is really convenient for us, as we can switch from a
configuration to another by simply executing the text file corresponding to
the specific customer and be able to test the application and its context.
But at the moment, it has some issues because we need to manually copy that
file to the target server, adapt some path, and run the client script. It
is good but not great, as it's not automation friendly.
I'm thinking of a better solution where we would store those profiles in a
profile repository (let say an http server for now...). Assuming that I can
download that text file, I need now to be able to execute it as the client
script would do, but without the ssh communication as I'm running inside
karaf already. That is where I'm stuck at the moment. I have been browsing
the source code of Karaf, but I don't find the place or service I need to
use to be able to execute this list of commands.
Could someone give me a hint or pointer where I should look at ?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Nicolas

Yup.
It's what we are using for the itests command execution.

Hi,
In your command implementation, you can inject a Session object that can
execute Karaf commands.
See [0].

Vincent.

Hi Nicolas,
I mean this:
https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/master/itests/src/test/java/org/apache/karaf/itests/KarafTestSupport.java
part of the karaf-test jar.
In the KarafTestSupport, you can see the executeCommand() method
allowing you to execute shell commands in the running Karaf container
(started by Pax Exam).
For instance, you can do (in your test code):
executeCommand("feature:install foo");
Regards
JB

Hi guys,
@Vincent: Thanks for the pointer, exactly what I was looking for!
@Jean-Baptiste: We only did few tests with pax-exam and it is still not
very clear to me what are all the hidden possibilities of this framework,
beside the obvious in "container testing". Regarding the
"karaf-test-support", could you please send me a pointer to what you are
referring to exactly ? Thanks again!
Best regards,
Nicolas

By the way why not just use pax-exam and the karaf-test-support ?
