The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha8 release of the Arquillian Cube Extension component!

What’s included in the Alpha8 release?

System properties resolution in Docker Compose
tomcat:
  env_file: ${env.filename}
  image: tutum/tomcat:7.0
  ports:
      - "8089:8089"
      - "8088:8088"
      - "8081:8080"

Normal property resolution is not done on the configured docker-compose file.

Cache URLAsset for ShrinkWrap
archive.addAsset(
   new CacheUrlAsset(new URL("http://example.org/test"), 2, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
)

CacheUrlAsset will cache the URL response for a certain time before trying again. This can be used to avoid redownloading larger files per test run to save some time.

See complete list of issues resolved below.

Arquillian Cube Extension 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 Cube Extension component!

What’s included in the Alpha5 release?

New CubeController APIs

The CubeController API got a bit of an upgrade and you can now programtically do things like copy files and check internal states.

  • Copy files from Container
void copyFileDirectoryFromContainer(String cubeId, String from, String to)
  • See changes to the filesystem
List<ChangeLog> changesOnFilesystem(String cubeId);
  • Output running Container processes
TopContainer top(String cubeId);
  • Copy log files
void copyLog(String cubeId, boolean follow, boolean stdout, boolean stderr, boolean timestamps, int tail, OutputStream outputStream);
New external configuration file

The configuration property dockerContainers or dockerContainersFile can now be replaced by simply having a file on classpath called cube. If the file exists and the dockerContainersX configuration options are not set then this file will be read instead. The format of the content of the file is still the same.

Default await strategy changed

The default await strategy has up until now been NativeAwaitStrategy which use the Docker API to see if the container has started or not. This highly depends on the container and how it’s written.

In Alpha5 the default strategy has changed to use PollingAwaitStrategy with the ss option. Now Cube will not determine the container started until all confiugred ports are available. The check is done from inside the container to avoid any false positives of rerouted port being opened before bound on the target container.

Arquillian Cube Extension 1.0.0.Alpha4 Released

Posted by Aslak Knutsen on Feb 25, 2015

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.Alpha4 release of the Arquillian Cube Extension component!

What’s included in the Alpha4 release?

Support for Boot2Docker!

If you are using boot2docker there are some parameters that depends on the installation of the boot2docker. For example boot2docker ip is not localhost and may change every time you start a new boot2docker instance. Also every time you start boot2docker copies required certificates to home directory of local machine.

Arquillian Cube offers some automatic mechanisms to use boot2docker in Cube.

Read more about it in the documentation.

Support for unix sockets

With the update to the latest version of Docker-java we now support Docker hosts running on a unix socket.

Auto default serverUri if not configured

The serverUri configuration option is where you define the Uri of Docker server. This configuration option is no longer mandatory and Arquillian Cube will attempt to auto set the values for the simplest use cases.

The default values are:

  • Linux unix:///var/run/docker.sock
  • Windows https://boot2docker:2376
  • MacOS https://boot2docker:2376
Fetch files from running container

Sometimes when the tests has finished and container is stopped you want to inspect some data like container console or getting a file from the container to manual inspecting. In these cases you can configure each container to copy console log or copy a file/s from container to local machine just before container is stopped.

tomcat_default:
  image: tutum/tomcat:7.0
  beforeStop:
    - copy:
      from: /test
      to: /tmp

    - log:
      to: /tmp/container.log

Read more about it in the documentation.

Multi thread container auto start up

When you use the autoStartContainers option Arquillian Cube will sort and arrange for the Docker containers and their linked containers to be started in parallel in the correct order.

Support for Arquillian Standalone mode

Arquillian Cube can now be used without any Arquillian Container, via e.g. the arquillian-junit-standalone artifact. With this configuration you get access to all Cube features that are not related to the Java Container support, like CubeController injection.

What is Arquillian Cube Extension?

With Arquillian Cube you can control the lifecycle of Docker images as part of the test lifecyle, either automatically or manually. This gives you the chance to scale up from a integration/functional test level all the way up to the system test level.
