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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.0.0.Alpha1 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

New ways to use Drone

Drone 2.0.0.Alpha1 is the first release of the Drone overhaul. We are aiming to provide you better support for:

  • extending Drone with new browser life cycles, such as one browser per test suite
  • smoother and easier integration with existing and future extensions
  • support for Drones bounded to deployments
  • and much more

Removing legacy and obsolete code from Drone

Since the Drone project started more than 3 years ago, some of the configuration options has changed and some of the features are now available as part of Arquillian Core.
The following code will be removed from Drone 2.x during the Alpha releases:

  • removing support for system properties (now directly available from Arquillian Core)
  • using capability based configuration (removing deprecated properties)
  • removing support for Selenium 1 and Graphene 1 (following Selenium project)
  • changing Drone events to support command pattern and to rely on Drone context
  • removing @Deprecated code

What Drone version should I use?

If you want a stable version, go with 1.3.0.Final. If you need to run tests on mobile devices, keep using 1.2.4.Final. We’ll be releasing Droidium based on the Drone 2.x stream soon to close the gap. However, if you like living on the edge, try Drone 2.0.0.Alpha1 and let us know how it works for you.

I’d like to thank Tadeáš Kříž. He’s our hero for this release, as he implemented most of the overhaul!

We hope that you’ll enjoy our new stuff and look forward to hear your feedback in the community forums.

What is ShrinkWrap Descriptors?

The Shrinkwrap Descriptor project provides an uniformed fluent API for creating and modifying Java EE deployment descriptors on the fly.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.2.0-alpha-1 release of the ShrinkWrap Resolver component!

What is ShrinkWrap Resolver?

The ShrinkWrap Resolvers project provides a Java API to obtain artifacts from a repository system. This is handy to include third party libraries available in any Maven repository in your test archive. ShrinkWrap Resolvers additionally allow you to reuse all the configuration you've already specified in the Maven build file, making packaging of an application archive much easier job.

Arquillian Droidium 1.0.0.Alpha5 Released

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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha5 release of the Arquillian Droidium component!

Arquillian Droidium 1.0.0.Alpha5 is packed with bugfixes, updates and it has integrated with various other Arquillian extensions.

Extension integration

Droidium now profits from the Arquillian Spacelift extension that provide a robust way of dealing with execution of external binaries and applications. In Droidium, we use it to handle the execution of all Android-related binaries.

We also have created a Arquillian Droidium Screenshooter extension which builds on top of the Arquillian Reporter extension. If you have Arquillian Reporter extension on class path, you can generate reports for your (mobile) test runs very easily and export them in a lot of different formats like XML, JSON, HTML or even Asciidoctor.

It is recommended to use Selendroid server of version 0.9.0 and Android SDK 22.6.2.

Next stop, Beta

Arquillian Droidium 1.0.0.Alpha5 is the last Alpha release before reaching Beta stage. Starting with Beta1, you can expect experimental support for Arquillian Drone 2.0.0.Alpha1, removal of web plugin which depends on the deprecated Selenium Android server APK, that will be replaced by the Selendroid’s Android driver. It will also be updated to use Selenium 2.40 from current 2.39.

Arquillian Core 1.1.4.Final Released

Posted by Matous Jobanek on Mar 30, 2014

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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.1.4.Final release of the Arquillian Core component!

JUnit was starting to feel lonely, so we cut 1.1.4.Final to show it some love.

What’s fixed in 1.1.4.Final?

org.junit.Assume

When running JUnit test cases in a Remote container the result of Assume was reported incorrectly as Passed when evaluated on the client side. This is now fixed and the client side should show Skipped as with any other JUnit test.

@Test

public void should() throws Exception {

   Assume.assumeFalse(false);

}
org.junit.Test(timeout)

JUnit supports the notion of setting a timeout on a Test method to allow JUnit to kill the execution and report it as Failed if it takes too long. Support for this was added in Arquillian Core 1.0.2.Final, but the implementation had some unforeseen consequences and was removed in 1.1.3.Final. We’re now happy to report this has been reintroduced in 1.1.4.Final. ..the support for timeout that is, not the unforeseen consequence… ;)

@Test(timeout = 1000)

public void should() throws Exception {

   // potential long execution

}
Upgraded to ShrinkWrap 1.2.2

Arquillian-BOM now expose ShrinkWrap 1.2.2 by default.

ShrinkWrap 1.2.2 is a minor bug fix release. See the release notes for more information.

Upgraded to ShrinkWrap Resolver 2.1.0

Arquillian-BOM now expose ShrinkWrap Resolver 2.1.0 by default.

The new ShrinkWrap Resolver version adds support for:

  • Maven > 3.1.0
  • Adding repositories programmatically

You can read more about the release in the release notes.
