Arquillian Drone Extension 2.1.0.Alpha2 Released

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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.1.0.Alpha2 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

The second Alpha release of Drone 2.1.0 brings:

Support for Edge browser
Support for Selenium Server arguments
Component upgrades
Bug fixes

Edge

After a long time, the Microsoft Edge Web Browser is supported by Drone. Big thanks to Tomas David as he is the hero who implemented and tested this feature.

To use Edge in you UI tests specify edge as a browser property in your arquillian.xml file:

<property name="browser">edge</property>

In case of Edge, Drone provides also the automatic download feature – for more information see Drone documentation

Selenium Server command line arguments

In the last release announcement, we mentioned that the Selenium Server is automatically started when necessary. It wasn’t possible to specify any argument (except for port) that should be used when an instance is started.

In this release, we introduce parameter seleniumServerArgs which you can define in your arquillian.xml file to specify arguments that should be used.

For example, if you used these properties:

<property name="seleniumServerArgs">-debug true -role node -browserTimeout 1000</property>
<property name="browser">firefox</property>

then the command used for starting Selenium Server instance would look like:

java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=target/.../geckodriver
     -jar target/.../selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar
     -port 4444 -debug true -role node -browserTimeout 1000

We hope that you’ll enjoy our new stuff and look forward to hearing your feedback.

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.
