The runner is nearly complete, before issuing a pull request, I'd like to discuss a few ideas and also write some more tests. I added short readme to my forked mirror of Camel so anyone who is willing to participate in this discussion can quickly see what's going on. https://github.com/josefkarasek/camel/tree/CAMEL-6070/components/camel-test
Also thanks to Williem Jiang, the camel-test-spring has been great source. I tried to be consistent with the naming schema defined there. So here are few points, that I'd like to here opinion of someone else than just me: 1. Names of annotations and packages 2. In package test4 is abstract class TestSupport.java, that defines some static methods useful for testing (deleteDirectory and many asserts). Since they're static, it's possible to us them even from abstract class. My idea how to provide cleaner way is to define new class, that will no longer be a subclass of JUnit's Assert class (because it's not necessary any more), will not be abstract and will facilitate only static methods. This way you don't inherently import the whole Assert class to every test, in stead you just use static imports of only what you need in the test. 3. Check method annotations (https://github.com/josefkarasek/camel/tree/CAMEL-6070/components/camel-test#2-method-annotations) Currently those methods must not be static. If you check camel-test-spring, annotated methods are static there. The idea is that in JUnit static methods are called only once per test class and non-static for every @Test method. But unless CamelContext is created only once per test class every of the annotated methods must be called for every @Test, so their return values can be registered to the CamelContext - that's why I implemented it this way. Your opinio is welcome. 4. Is it a good idea to leave all method annotations to be optional? Simply if user defines a method that returns RouteBuilder and doesn't annotate it with @CreateRouteBuilder, it's still possible to detect this method and invoke it. Only thing that is affected by this design decision is readability of the code (and of course one line of code per method...). -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Would-like-to-work-on-CAMEL-6070-tp5763192p5765921.html Sent from the Camel Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
