The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.CR7 release of the Arquillian Core component!

Some of the highlights in this release

• Configure Arquillian using properties – Adding -Dproperty.name=value to the command line can now add or override values defined in arquillian.xml.

arq.container.[qualifier].mode
arq.container.[qualifier].default
arq.container.[qualifier].configuration.[property_name]
arq.container.[qualifier].protocol.[type].[property_name]

arq.group.[qualifier].default
arq.group.[qualifier].container.[qualifier].configuration.[property_name]
arq.group.[qualifier].container.[qualifier].protocol.[type].[property_name]

arq.extension.[qualifier].[property_name]

arq.defaultprotocol.[type]
arq.defaultprotocol.[type].[property_name]

arq.engine.[property_name]

Example:

-Darq.container.production.configuration.jbossHome=/opt/jbossas/

You can add these in a properties file as well. Default Arquillian will look for a file called arquillian.properties on classpath or on disk, same with arquillian.xml. If you want to configure a different filename, you can use either -Darquillian.properties=name or -Darquillian.xml=name

Since the xml file is read first, the properties will add / override the xml values. In the case where you have a container defined as default in xml, but want to override the default in properties, you can add -Darquillian.launch to specify which container/group configuration to use.

• @OperateOnDeployment on @ArquillianResource injection points

URL, InitialContext and Context on the client side can be qualified with the @OperateOnDeployment annotation.

@Deployment(name = "X")
public WebArchive appX() { ... }

@Deployment(name = "Y")
public WebArchive appX() { ... }

@Test @OperateOnDeployment("X")
public void shouldBeInjected(
      @ArquillianResource URL appXUrl,
      @ArquillianResource @OperateOnDeployment("Y") URL appYUrl)
{
  // ...
}

• ARQ-645 - @ArquillianResource @OperatesOnDeployment("foo") URL; for multiple containers
• ARQ-677 - Expose Deployment as part of TestDeployment so SPIs can access more information, e.g. Container

Bug

• ARQ-678 - ExceptionProxy - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/util/id/SerialVersion

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.CR6 release of the Arquillian Core component!

Some of the highlights in this release

Container Control modes – Containers can now be configured to have multiple different control modes using the new mode attribute in arquillian.xml

<container qualifier="X" mode="suite|class|manual" />

• suite (default)
  As you know it from before, container will be started and stopped as part of the test suite.

• class
  The container will be started and stopped for each TestClass

• manual
  Control the lifecycle by injecting @ArquillianResource ContainerController and calling cc.start|stop|kill from within your TestMethods. In manual mode, the container will be automatically stopped in @AfterClass.

@ArquillianResource ContainerController controller;

@Test
public void shouldBeAbleTo() throws Exception
{
  // do stuff
  controller.start("qualifier");

  // do stuff
  controller.kill("qualifier");

  controller.start("qualifier", new Config("some-new-container-option", "value"));
  // do stuff
}

Ordering of JUnit TestMethods – As pr the JVM specification, the order of Methods in a Class are not tied to the order they are written in the source file. You can now annotated your TestMethods with @InSequence(n) to run them in a defined order.

Support for TestNG >= 6.3
