The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha20 release of the Arquillian Cube Extension component!

New version of Arquillian Cube 1.0.0.Alpha20 has been released with one handy new feature and few bug fixes.

What’s new

Arquillian Cube Container Object DSL

A new option to start/stop containers is based on a generic container object provided by Arquillian Cube to define cube instances.

@DockerContainer
Container pingpong = Container.withContainerName("pingpong")
                        .fromImage("jonmorehouse/ping-pong")
                        .withPortBinding(8080)
                        .build();

@Test
public void should_return_ok_as_pong() throws IOException {
   String response = ping(pingpong.getIpAddress(), pingpong.getBindPort(8080));
  assertThat(response).containsSequence("OK");
}

You can also create networks in a similar, programmatic way:

@DockerNetwork
Network network = Network.withDefaultDriver("mynetwork").build();

By default Arquillian Cube will start and stop containers/networks at before/after test class execution, not per test method. You can modify this by using .withConnectionMode and configure it to be per test method.

Last but not least thank you to all users that has reported issues.

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.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.1.0.Alpha3 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

The third and hopefully the last Alpha release of Drone 2.1.0 significantly improves the resolution of binaries from GitHub.

GitHub release caching

In the Drone 2.1.0.Alpha1 we introduced a new feature of automatic downloading for webdriver binaries which is really cool, but had one drawback. The Gecko driver is stored in GitHub so Drone has to send some request to get the latest version and to download the required binary. Unfortunately, GitHub has for unauthenticated requests a rate limit that allows us to make up to 60 requests per hour, which wasn’t hard to exceed (for example in CI servers).

In this release, we solved this problem using conditional requests so it should be impossible to run out of the number of limited requests now.

There is nothing that you would need to do to activate this feature, just update your Drone dependency and use your Drone tests as you did.

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

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.
