[jbosstools-dev] CDI Tools. What's next?

[Xavier Coulon]

Hi,

As I read idea #4 (diagram), I wonder if it would be possible to have some Arquillian tooling based on the CDI context to generate something like this:


package org.arquillian.example;

import org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ShrinkWrap;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.asset.EmptyAsset;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.JavaArchive;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class BasketTest {
    
	@Deployment
	public static JavaArchive createDeployment() {
		return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar")
			.addClasses(Basket.class, OrderRepository.class, SingletonOrderRepository.class)
			.addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
	}
}

The idea would be that from an Arquillian Test wizard, you could specify which bean is going to be tested, and then generate the proper test class skeleton, including the 'createDeployment()' method. Also, some validation tooling could report problems if other required beans (that are injected in the one to be tested) are not added into the archive.
I understand that it does not cover all use cases, especially when m2 dependencies should be included in the test archive, but it could be a great starting point.
To be honest, I used a few times Arquillian on small side projects, and I often needed to spend some time on this method to create the proper archive, so having tooling here would be a nice feature IMO.

WDYT ?

Best regards,
/Xavier
