Including test classes in war packaging.
Hi,
I am using maven2 to build a war.
In my src/test/java i have some test servlets which are also to be included
in the distribution. It seems that the default war packaging only takes into
account the src/main/java classes.
Please advice, how I can include all the test files as well in the war?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Subhro.

Hello Mick,
I am not really doing "DB unit testing", my backend code (the core business
logic) never interacts with the DB.
I am trying to unit test only the business logic code.
The DB code is merely to load test data and push that data into the business
logic classes.
The test servlets are the entry point to these unit tests using a browser.
I am doing similar to what Stephen suggested in an earlier mail.
I have
1. "core" jar project. Installed the jar in my local repo.
2. war project containing only test code and servlets/jsps. This has a
dependency on #1 jar.
This seems to be a little troublesome to maintain 2 projects, but it kind of
solves the issue for now.
Thanks,
Subhro.

I currently have a data-services.jar that contains all my db code. with
TestNG, DBUnit and MySql & H2, I run full integration tests. my integration
test coverage is >85% total coverage. I test both h2 in-memory, then run
again against my MySql once I am on my build server. H2 is just faster for
local developer testing
Look at how appfuse does their db testing.
You should NEVER put db test code into a war just to get around re-designing
your code. It sounds like you need to change your test harness to isolate
that service.

1 give them a test-jar that has the unit tests
2 give them a second war with the test interface

Re: Including test classes in war packaging.
Posted by Subhrajyoti Moitra <su...@gmail.com>.
Hello,
My client wants to "unit test" the core components of this application.
So, i went about creating a very simple test harness (1 test servlet+2 jsp)
to trigger the unit test-data load (mysql DB), as well as running the unit
tests.
A simple report is generated at the end of the test and shown to the client.
I am not sure if this is called integration testing.
Selenium did come to my mind, but that would become end-to-end testing and
mostly involving browsers. My module is just a backend service, with a
servlet front to invoke the services.
I have as usual written all my test classes/servlets in src/test/java.
>From command line, i run my unit tests(skipping the servlet part) and it's
all fine. But i am not really keen to share source code with the client
until i get paid for it.:)
which means i have to give an interface(GUI) to trigger these unit tests,
with clients own test data.
So, now i want to include all these test classes/servlet in my war and send
it to client for "unit test". M2 is not including these test files in the
build.
Any other alternative ideas, as how can clients do "unit test" without
access to source code?
Is there anyone else in this list faced with a similar problem? Please
advice.
Thanks in advance.
Subhro Moitra.

why would you want test classes in a war? Integration testing? Look at
Selenium instead.
