The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Beta1 release of the Arquillian Portal Extension component!

Highlighted Features

Shrinkwrap Archive type for portlets

We now have PortletArchive for creating Shrinkwrap archives for portlets. (read more)

Helpers for creating portlet.xml

Within PortletArchive there are some simple helpers for creating the contents of portlet.xml. (read more)

Shrinkwrap Archive type for portlets

We can now use PortletArchive instead of WebArchive when we’re creating micro deployments for testing a portlet. In it includes methods for setting the content of portlet.xml without needing to specify the path, in a similar manner that WebArchive provides setWebXML() methods.

Helpers for creating portlet.xml

PortletArchive also adds some nice helpers for creating GenericPortlet or GenericFacesPortlet portlet definitions within portlet.xml. A GenericPortlet can be added to portlet.xml by:

Shrinkwrap.create(PortletArchive.class)
	.createSimplePortlet(MyPortletClass.class);

And adding a portlet for JSF is:

Shrinkwrap.create(PortletArchive.class)
	.createFacesPortlet("portletName", "Portlet Title", "index.xhtml");

For examples on how to use these extensions with their respective portal containers, you can take a look at the testsuite of Portlet Bridge.

We look forward to hearing your feedback about this release in the community forums!

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha2 release of the Arquillian Android Extension component!

Arquillian Android Extension has reached the Alpha2 milestone. This is a bugfix release with a few new nice features.

Significant changes in 1.0.0.Alpha2

Ability to specify ABI

Since Android 4 the SDK allows to define multiple ABI types for the emulator. We now honor this property and fail fast if multiple ABIs are available during creation of the emulator.

arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier=“android”>

   <property name=“abi”>armeabi-v7a</property>

</extension>

Ability to inject Android Driver instance into the test

You now have limited control of the device from the test itself.

AndroidApkInstallationTestCase.java

@ArquillianResource
AndroidDevice device;
    
    @Test
public void installAndUninstallApk() throws AndroidExecutionException {
    device.installPackage(new File("src/test/apk/calculator.apk"), true);
    
        List<String> installedApps = getInstalledPackages(device);
    
        Assert.assertTrue("Calculator app was installed", installedApps.contains(CALCULATOR_APP));
    device.uninstallPackage(CALCULATOR_APP);
    
    installedApps = getInstalledPackages(device);

    Assert.assertFalse(“Calculator app was uninstalled”, installedApps.contains(CALCULATOR_APP));

}

Big thanks go to Jan Papousek (@jan_papousek) for improving and testing this release!

We hope that you’ll enjoy the improvements. We look forward to hear your feedback in the community forums.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha2 release of the Arquillian Portal Extension component!

The Portal extension for Arquillian brings testing into the world of Portlets!

Some of the highlights in this release

URL injection of portlets by name. @PortalURL now supports defining the names of the portlets that you want rendered on the page of the injected URL. You can either specify a single portlet name, multiple, or leave it empty and it will load all portlets defined within portlets.xml onto the page. Injecting a URL of a portlet page with the MyPortlet portlet present is done by:

@ArquillianResource
@PortalURL("MyPortlet")
URL portletPage;

Annotation for marking portlet tests. @PortalTest now represents a marker on a test class that signifies to Portal extension implementations that a portlet test is being invoked. This enables for augmenting the test deployment with whatever information is needed for particular portlet containers to enable a portlet to be tested. It has the added benefit of decoupling a test needing to inject a @PortalURL if the tests don’t require a URL to the portlet page.

Currently there are two implementations of this extension for use with Pluto and GateIn portal containers.

For examples on how to use these extensions with their respective portal containers, you can take a look at the testsuite of JBoss Portlet Bridge.

We look forward to hearing your feedback about this release in the community forums!

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha1 release of the Arquillian Android Extension component!

The Arquillian Android extension allows you to use the Android SDK in your Arquillian tests. Most notably, it allows you to start an Android Virtual device or connect to a real device. A part of the Android Extension for Arquillian is the Android Drone Extension. This extension allows you to easily configure WebDriver based tests which will be executed directly in an emulator device.

When testing your application, you can then easily switch between desktop and mobile UI or develop mobile specific tests.

How to use it?

First, download the Android SDK from developer.android.com and point the ANDROID_HOME system variable to the directory where you extracted the SDK. You can then update and install specific SDK versions by running the `android` command.

Next, add Android extension to dependencies. This depchain will add both Arquillian Android and Android Drone extensions.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.extension</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-android-depchain</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Alpha1</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Note: Make sure you do NOT have the Arquillian Drone Selenium Server on classpath, as it will collide with the Android SDK unless configured to run on a different port. If you can’t remove it from classpath, you should disable it in arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier="selenium-server">
    <!-- this must be skipped, we run /wd/hub on emulator -->
    <property name="skip">true</property>
</extension>

Download the Android Server APK to be installed to you mobile device from code.google.com. Use android-server-2.6.0.apk for devices including Android 2.3.4, latest version for Android 3.0 and newer.

Set up WebDriver in arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier="webdriver">
    <!-- this makes WebDriver connect hub on Android device -->
    <property name="remoteAddress">http://localhost:14444/wd/hub</property>
</extension>

Set up Android in arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier="android">
    <!-- this is optional, can be set via ANDROID_HOME property -->
    <property name="home">/home/kpiwko/apps/android-sdk-linux_x86</property>
    <!-- Nexus S -->
    <!-- <property name="serialId">3233E8EDB21700EC</property>-->

    <property name="verbose">true</property>
    <property name="apiLevel">13</property>
    <property name="avdName">SnapshotEnabled</property>
    <property name="emulatorBootupTimeoutInSeconds">180</property>
</extension>

Properties explained, required in bold:

• home – Android SDK home, can be ommited if set via ANDROID_HOME property
• avdName – name of the Android Virtual Device. It will be either created or reused
• apiLevel – (10) denotates API level, use android list target to get more variants
• serialId – replaces avdName if set and available, represents a real device. Use adb devices to get the list
• skip – (false) skip execution
• verbose – (false) be verbose
• force – (false) force emulator recreationg
• sdSize – (128M) SD card size for emulator
• emulatorBootupTimeoutInSeconds – (180) maximal time to get emulator started, use Snapshot enabled device if it takes too long
• emulatorOptions – emulator options

Emulators are created by default in ${basedir}/${avdName}.

Set up Android Drone in arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier="android-drone">
    <property name="androidServerApk">android-server-2.16.apk</property>
</extension>

Properties explained, required in bold:

• androidServerApk – path to the Android Server APK you’ve downloaded
• skip – (false) skip execution
• verbose – (false) be verbose
• webdriverPortHost – (14444) port on Host connected with port on device
• webdriverPortGuest – (8080) port on Guest connected with port on Host
