The build script bits that downloads and configures 1 or more managed containers should be extracted to a maven plugin, so we don't need to copy paste that logic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARQ-576
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-576
Project: Arquillian
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Components: Maven Plugin
Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
Priority: Minor
See ARQ-574.
Now we have to copy paste something like this, per managed container:
{code}
<properties>
<managed-appserver.download.dir>${project.basedir}/local/managed-appserver</managed-appserver.download.dir>
<managed-appserver.tomcat6.version>6.0.33</managed-appserver.tomcat6.version>
<managed-appserver.tomcat6.home>${project.build.directory}/apache-tomcat-${managed-appserver.tomcat6.version}</managed-appserver.tomcat6.home>
</properties>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>false</inherited>
<executions>
<execution><!-- For managed tomcat -->
<phase>generate-test-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
<mkdir dir="${managed-appserver.download.dir}"/>
<get
src="http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v${managed-appserver.tomca..."
dest="${managed-appserver.download.dir}" verbose="true" skipexisting="true"/>
<unzip src="${managed-appserver.download.dir}/apache-tomcat-${managed-appserver.tomcat6.version}.zip"
dest="${project.build.directory}"/>
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${managed-appserver.tomcat6.home}/conf</outputDirectory>
<overwrite>true</overwrite>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/test/conf/tomcat6</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<environmentVariables>
<CATALINA_HOME>${managed-appserver.tomcat6.home}</CATALINA_HOME>
</environmentVariables>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
But this changes over time, and since we copy-paste it to our user projects, our copy becomes stale.
If this could be extracted somehow (aslak is not in favor of adding this to the managed container runtimes, so probably a maven plugin),
that would be nice.
Extra optional requirements:
- It should be easy to ask for multiple managed appservers (say jboss 7, tomcat 6, jetty 6 and jboss 6)
- Prefer zips from the maven repo over "download" url's. At least if the maven repo is down we know that a clean build doesn't work.
- What if multiple hudson jobs are testing with arq on the same hudson slave? They can't use the same port!
- I prefer downloading to /local instead of /target, because the latter gets deleted during "mvn clean". Then again, if it comes from ~/.m2/repository, neither is needed.
