The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.2.0.Beta1 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

This release brings you better Firefox support and configurable browser instantiation timeout.

What’s new in Drone 1.2.0.Beta1?

Browser capabilities shorthand

Since the browserCapabilities property was made the default way to set the type of WebDriver you wanted, people have been asking for a simpler name. Now you can just use the browser property instead. While the original property is marked deprecated, we won’t be removing it in the 1.x series.

arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier=“webdriver”>

    <!— since now, you can simply write “browser” —>

    <property name=“browser”>chrome</property>

</extension>

Global Drone configuration in arquillian.xml

Since 1.2.0.Alpha3, Selenium and WebDriver instances are retrieved using a time limit, avoiding your tests to get stuck. This limit is now 60 seconds by default and can be modified in arquillian.xml file globally for all supported Drones. Also, the limit is disabled if you set arquillian.debug property to true.

arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier=“drone”>

    <!— set this to zero if you want to disable timeout —>

    <property name=“instantiationTimeoutInSeconds”>0</property>

</extension>

Firefox goodies

WebDriver configuration now accepts two new configuration properties, firefox_profile and firefoxUserPreferences. While the first one is not really new, it allows you to set a path to the Firefox profile template, the latter makes it possible to modify prefs.js for the created Firefox profile.

arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier=“webdriver”>

    <property name=“firefox_profile”>/path/to/profile</property>

    <property name=“firefoxUserPreferences”>/path/to/preferences/file</property>

</extension>

Updated to WebDriver 2.35.0

Arquillian Drone uses Selenium 2.35.0 by default. Due to recent WebDriver API changes(>=2.34.0), we do not recommend the use of the selenium-bom in <dependencyManagement> to downgrade to a older Selenium version. For the very same reason, we recommend you to update Arquillian Graphene to 2.0.0.Alpha5 that is compatible with latest Selenium. Also note that Selenium 2.35.0 deprecated the IPhoneDriver, so Drone did the same.

Drone is based on top of Arquillian Core 1.1.0.Final. Please update your <dependencyManagement> sections if you’re using Arquillian BOM (artifactId: arquillian-bom) together with Arquillian Drone BOM.

I’d like to thank everybody involved in this release. You guys make testing a breeze!

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

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.2.0.Alpha3 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

This release brings you PhantomJS binary auto resolution and a major update of SPI’s for extension creators.

Significant changes since 1.2.0.Alpha2

Support for PhantomJS binary auto resolution

The PhantomJS binary is now automatically resolved if it’s not found using the phantomjs.binary.path property. So you don’t have to specify this property anymore.

arquillian.xml

<extension qualifier=“webdriver”>

    <property name=“browserCapabilities”>phantomjs</property>

</extension>

New SPI Model

If you are writing your own Arquillian extension and you would like to use Arquillian Drone, it is now much simpler. Drone exposes events for browser configuration, creation, enrichement, enhancement and disposal, giving you full control of its lifecycle. If you have used the old SPI model, there are now other interfaces you might need to implement.

Updated to WebDriver 2.33.0

Arquillian Drone uses WebDriver 2.33.0 by default. You can still use selenium-bom to override the WebDriver versions if needed.

Drone is now based on top of Arquillian Core 1.1.1.Final. Please update your <dependencyManagement> sections if you’re using Arquillian BOM (artifactId: arquillian-bom) together with Arquillian Drone BOM.

I’d like to thank everybody involved in this release. You guys make testing a breeze!

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

Some of the highlights in this release

Servlet integration

This release bring one new cool feature, integration with the Guice Servlet extension

The whole integration requires only two simple steps to make the test use the web configured Guice injector.

The first step is to replace the GuiceFilter with the ArquillianGuiceFilter:

<filter>
   <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
   <filter-class>org.jboss.arquillian.guice.api.servlet.ArquillianGuiceFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
   <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> 

This can also be done at runtime; by doing a simple string replacement in the web descriptor when creating the deployment or by using ShrinkWrap Descriptors.

The second step is to annotate your test with @GuiceWebConfiguration. This will instruct the extension to retrieve the injector from the servlet context.

Example test:

@GuiceWebConfiguration
@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class WebInjectorTestCase {

   @Deployment
   public static Archive createTestArchive() {
       return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "guice-test.war")
               .addClasses(Employee.class,
                       EmployeeService.class, DefaultEmployeeService.class,
                       EmployeeRepository.class, DefaultEmployeeRepository.class,
                       EmployeeModule.class, EmployeeModuleContextListener.class)
               .addAsWebInfResource("WEB-INF/web.xml", "web.xml");
   }

   @Inject
   private EmployeeService employeeService;

   @Test
   public void testGetEmployees() {

       List<Employee> result = employeeService.getEmployees();

       assertNotNull("Method returned null list as result.", result);
       assertEquals("Two employees were expected.", 2, result.size());
   }
}

The test can go beyond a simple example like this and allow for injection of other resources like Guice configured servlets, filters and listeners.

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