Testframework independence from OS
Hi,
I've used successfully the new Testframework 0.4.1 for karaf to test the
status of a custom karaf distribution for Windows. The test works on
windows.
Then i moved the test on a Jenkins instance we use for CI that runs on a
Linux server, and i was expecting the test code to be not suitable for this
environment.
Surprisingly instead the test runs successfully also on Linux (my
distribution is for Windows).
My question is: an integration test built using the Pax Exam Tesframework
for Karaf is actually independent from the underlying OS ?
In other words, can i actually be sure that if a test of a distribution for
windows was run succesfully on linux, the distribution actually works also
on windows ? And to which extent ?
For example, i don't think that the testframework uses the karaf.bat script
to start the distribution under test. What is then the mechanism used to
start the karaf instance ?
Thank you in advance for any insight.
Giacomo

Hi Andreas,
now that you tell me, I already saw the
KarafDistributionKitConfigurationOption but completely forgot it. I think
that should solve my problem.
Thank you for the hint !

Hey Colleta,
well, actually there are two different "modes" in the karaf test framework.
The default method runs your distribution using a native java launcher. If
you want to run the native scripts you best take a look at the
documentation [1]; especially the KarafDistributionKitConfigurationOption
might be interesting for you.
I hope this helps! If you need any further information or deeper insights
pls let me know!
Kind regards,
Andreas
