Arquillian Core 1.1.6.Final Released

Since we wrote this post we didn't laze around. Check our latest announcement.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.1.6.Final release of the Arquillian Core component!

Highlights in this release

Support for JUnit 4.12+: JUnit had some internal changes that effected the Arquillian integration in 4.12. These changes should now be taken into account and JUnit 4.12+ should be working again.

Exposure of some hidden exceptions

1.1.5.Final had a few exception cases where the original exception would be masked.

Any exception in After would hide exception caused in Before.
Any InvocationTargetException thrown in container would loose it’s original cause

These issues should now be addressed.

Support for running Arquillian in a Security manager: A few fixes should allow you to run Arquillian in container when the container is under a securitry manager.

Upgraded to latest ShrinkWrap Resolver|Descriptors

We did a minor component upgrade to the latest ShrinkWrap Resolver version 2.1.1 and ShrinkWrap Descriptors version 2.0.0-alpha-6

The new ShrinkWrap Descriptors release come with support for the JavaEE 7 Descriptors.

SPI for skipping execution of single tests

A new SPI has arrived! With this SPI you can choose to programatically mark a Test method as skipped.

You simply registrer a implementation of TestExecutionDecider and return a ExecutionDecision per Test method. You can choose to return a ExecutionDecision with a Decision.DONT_EXECUTE and a reason for not executing it and the Test method will be reported as ‘skipped’ with the given reason in the test report.

public class MyTestExecutionDecider implements TestExecutionDecider {
   @Override
   public ExecutionDecision decide(Method testMethod) {
      if (magical(testMethod)) {
         return ExecutionDecision
               .dontExecute("TestMethod skipped due to ...");
      }
      return ExecutionDecision.execute();
   }

   private boolean magical(Method testMethod) {
      // magic code goes here
      return false;
   }

   @Override
   public int precedence() {
      return 0;
   }
}

Registration of the service is done the same as all other services:

public class MyLoadableExtension implements LoadableExtension {
   @Override
   public void register(ExtensionBuilder builder) {
      builder.service(TestExecutionDecider.class, MyTestExecutionDecider.class);
   }
}

The SPI can be executed on the client side or in container. Where you would want to execute it is all up to you and where you have the information to skip the test available.

What is Arquillian?

Arquillian is open source software that empowers you to test JVM-based applications more effectively. Created to defend the software galaxy from bugs, Arquillian brings your test to the runtime so you can focus on testing your application's behavior rather than managing the runtime. Using Arquillian, you can develop a comprehensive suite of tests from the convenience of your IDE and run them in any IDE, build tool or continuous integration environment.
