Re: How to bind execution of integration tests to integration-test phase
I have achieved integration testing (both JunitEE/Cactus and JUnits calling
remote interfaces) in M2 using a very simple lightweight POM for each
discrete task/execution in the integration phase e.g.
+ runtests-integration
pom.xml (parent pom, invoking child modules in the order below)
+ rebuild-database
pom.xml (antrun)
+ start-container
pom.xml (antrun or cargo)
+ runtests-serverside (runs junits needing server started as they
invoke remote interfaces)
pom.xml (surefire:test)
+ runtests-incontainer-tests
pom.xml (antrun for running JUnitEE or Cactus incontainer tests)
+ stop-container
pom.xml (antrun or cargo)
All plugins above bound to the integration-test phase
I found this approach also necessary, because you can only have one instance
of the antRun plugin for the integration-test phase, therefore you can't use
antrun, then surefire, then antrun again as the last antrun overrides the
first if they are bound to the same phase.
I did want to use Cargo, but unfortunately there was no support for OC4J
with an existing configuration.
I have the above 'runtests-integration' suite only execute if the M2 build
profile is set to -Pintegrationtests. In this way developers can run a
regular M2 build which just runs standalone JUnits, or specify the profile
to run a fuller build. We have CruiseControl always running the integrations
tests profile.
With m2.02 I should now convert the Antruns to Ant Plugins.
I'm hoping that when M2 supports integration tests more I can migrate to the
approved strategy, but this works right now, we have Applications (both
EARs) that are built with M2 via CruiseControl, the above integration
projects start the container run all the integration tests (with the 2nd EAR
application even invoking the 1st EAR's services)
I have two other M2 modules in addition to those shown above that actually
hold the integration tests :-
+ tests-serverside
pom.xml (JAR pom, building those JUnits needing server started as
they invoke remote interfaces)
+ tests-incontainer
pom.xml (JAR pom, building those JUnits needing to run inside
container JUnitEE or cactus)

RE: How to bind execution of integration tests to integration-test phase
Posted by Vincent Massol <vm...@pivolis.com>.
Hi Pete,
Yes, you've found the only possible way as of now to perform integration
testing with Maven 2. As you say yourself, Maven 2 need to offer better
support for integration testing to make it more streamlined and less
complex.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
-Vincent
PS: Would you be interested in helping us implement existing configuration
support for Orion/OC4J? If so, please join us on the Cargo dev list and we
can discuss it!
