Stephen Gargan commented on AVRO-890:
-------------------------------------
Doug,
It turns out there is a pretty nifty integration-test goal in the archetypes
plugin that will generate and build a sample project. I've updated the build to
use this.
The reason the test doesn't run in the test phase is that its an integration
test. Its run with the failsafe plugin and executes in the integration-test
phase of the build. The idea is that you'd test the service classes as normal
(in isolation, with unit tests and mocks) in the test phase and then test the
entire service end to end in the integration-test phase. If you run hte build
with mvn integration-test, you should see the test run.
The way the failsafe plugin splits up the testing is very flexible; it makes it
easy to start a server once in the the pre-itegration test phase and then run a
large test suite against the single server instance. This can save a lot of
time if the service is complex and expensive to setup. I didn't want to muddy
the sample with this kind of detail but its simple enough to modify the build
to do it.
I've changed the names in the poms and uploaded a patch (twice it seems! both
are the same) with the changes.
> Maven archetype for creating Avro service projects
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-890
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.5.4
> Reporter: Stephen Gargan
> Assignee: Stephen Gargan
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: archetype, maven
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
> Attachments: archetypes.patch, archetypes.patch, archetypes.patch
>
>
> I've put together the beginnings of an maven archetypes subproject in the
> java module to help folks kickstart avro projects. The first archetype
> creates a simple avro based ordering service using the netty transport and
> includes an integration test for the service. The service is very naive,
> though its really only the plumbing that is important and the example is
> illustrative enough to get people going.
> Once built, it can be added to the local archetypes catalog via
> mvn archetype:crawl
> and then will be available via the generate plugin
> mvn archetype:generate
> or it can be invoked directly as follows
> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=avro-service-archetype
> -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.avro -DgroupId=org.simple
> -DartifactId=simple-service -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
> The parent pom contains common config for generating a pom for the archetype
> that references the current avro build version. This takes some slight of
> hand with maven resources to insert the version and will be reusable for
> other archetypes in the future.
> I intend putting together a map-reduce archetype soon and am open to
> suggestions for other archetypes that might be useful. Perhaps one that
> included the code from AVRO-883 to kick start a basic serialization project?
