research an alternative approach to inheriting from Arquillian base class in TestNG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-50 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/ARQ-50 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 1.0.0-alpha-1 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor This issue is a research and development task to determine if there is an alternative approach that can be used, rather than inheriting from the Arquillian base class, to hook a TestNG test into the Arquillian functionality. JUnit offers a @RunWith annotation which is what the JUnit module uses. The closest hook TestNG seems to offer is the ITestListener interface. However, the question becomes, how does that map to the requirements: @BeforeSuite -> start container (~ ITestListener.onStart) @BeforeClass -> deploy (??) TestMethod/IHookable -> remote call (??) @AfterClass -> undeploy -> (??) @AfterSuite -> stop container -> (~ ITestListener.onFinish) There was discussion on this thread about supporting @RunWith in TestNG: http://markmail.org/message/fxm6bddk6wzqa4yp -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
