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.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.3.0.Final release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

Removal of mobile related capabilities

In Arquillian Drone 1.3.0.Final we’ve upgraded to use Selenium 2.40.0. While the new version of Selenium brings you support for the latest browsers, it also dropped support for the android and iphone drivers. This change also effect Graphene, so make sure that you use Graphene 2.0.2.Final together with Drone 1.3.0.Final.

The android gap left by Selenium will be closed in a future release of Arquillian Drodium, where we will add test support for all native, hybrid and mobile web applications. Closing the iphone gap will unfortunately take us a little bit longer.

If you need to test on mobile devices, please keep using Arquillian Drone 1.2.4.Final. If you want the latest and greatest stuff for desktop browsers, go for Drone 1.3.0.Final.

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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.2.4.Final release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

This is a community driven bugfix release. If you have updated to Arquillian Core 1.1.3.Final, make sure to update Drone to this version.

I’d like to thank everybody involved in this release, especially thanks to Juraj Húska and Tilmann Kuhn. You guys make testing a breeze!

Drone 2.0.0.Alpha1 coming soon

Selenium 2.40.0 dropped support for AndroidDriver and iPhoneDriver. We believe that this change should not affect Drone users that much,
therefore we aim to make Arquillian Droidium (based on Selendroid), ios-driver and Appium a drop-in replacement for Android and iOS browser testing. While we try to maintain backwards compatibility of Drone, the underlying changes to make this happen will form a baseline for the Drone 2.0.0 release. Roadmap coming soon. We’ll need your help to make the transition smooth and preserve backwards compatibility, so stay tuned!

What happens with Drone 1.x ?

We’ll drop non-supported browsers (Android, iOS) in Drone 1.3.0.Final. Because we’ll keep releasing Selenium BOM, you will be able to update Selenium to get latest browsers supported. Apart from Selenium updates, the Drone 1.x branch will only get security and critical bug fixes.

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