[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-585) Support for adding a test-beans.xml without discarding the original beans.xml or seam-beans.xml

Support for adding a test-beans.xml without discarding the original beans.xml or seam-beans.xml ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-585 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-585 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Priority: Critical Presume these 2 beans.xml files: Production code: beans.xml: {code} <beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" ...> <!-- 100 lines that change regularly during development --> </beans> {code} Test addition: test-beans.xml: {code} <beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" ...> <alternatives> <class>org.drools.guvnor.server.repository.TestRepositoryStartupService</class> </alternatives> </beans> {code} Now, for non-test runs (such as in the IDE or in production), only the beans.xml is activated through weld and the test-only alternative should not be activated. For test runs, the test-only alternative should be activated, yet the rest of the content from beans.xml should be in there too. So it should be merged to something like this: {code} <beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" ...> <!-- 100 lines that change regularly during development --> <alternatives> <class>org.drools.guvnor.server.repository.TestRepositoryStartupService</class> </alternatives> </beans> {code} It would be nice if we do something like mergeAsResource(), shown in this example: {code} public static WebArchive createDeployment() { WebArchive webArchive = ShrinkWrap.create(ExplodedImporter.class, "guvnor-webapp-5.3.0-SNAPSHOT.war") .importDirectory(new File("target/guvnor-webapp-5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/")) .as(WebArchive.class) .mergeAsResource(new File("target/test-classes/META-INF/test-beans.xml"), "META-INF/beans.xml") .addAsResource(new File("target/test-classes/"), ArchivePaths.create("")) .addAsLibraries( DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class) .includeDependenciesFromPom("pom.xml") .resolveAsFiles(new ScopeFilter("test"))); return webArchive; } {code} Because of maintenance, copying everything from beans.xml to test-beans.xml on every change to beans.xml is NOT an option.
