Hi guys,
yesterday, I tried to cut a small external project, demonstrating how to use
our jars to test LDAP. It was not so easy, as I had to include many jars in
order to have the code working.
yeah, had experienced this before (was used to solve it the hard way
by gathering the various pom file contents together to make this work)
glad to see this being solved
Lately, we modified the apacheds-all pom.xml (not yet committed) to generate
a unique jar with Pierre-Arnaud (the shade plugin was misconfigured) and
now, I'm able to run a standalone test including only those jars :
- junit
- apacheds-core-annotations
- apacheds-core-integ
- apacheds-server-annotations
- apacheds-server-integ
- apacheds-test-framework
- apacheds-all
This is pretty convenient to be able to have all the jars gathered in
apacheds-all, but we need to go a bit farther : the apacheds-test-framework
should also gather the junit, apacheds-core-annotations,
apacheds-core-integ, apacheds-server-annotations and apacheds-server-integ
jars in one single jar. It would make possible to have two jars only to
include when writing a standalone test application.
One other option would be to create two apacheds-all jars :
- the one we currently produce, with all the needed dependencies except the
test ones
- and a apacheds-test-all which includes everything.
What would be the best solution ?
I would sugegst we don't include the test modules i,e core-integ and
server-integ
ideally apacheds-all should contain the testframework, core and server
annotation modules
(cause they are not tests by themselves) so having apacheds-all jar
should let us write and run a
test.
I would rather not include anything related to tests (ie xxx-integ nor
test-framework) in apacheds-all, as it's really intended to be used for
embedding the server.
is there any special reason to include the tests?
I'd like to provide a simple jar for people who want to write tests for a LDAP
server.
Agreed, but I think Kiran refers to the 'core-integ' and 'server-integ' modules
only.
Like Kiran, I don't think these modules have anything to do with the test
framework.
Oh, yes, you are right.
If we need to include them when trying to write external tests, it's
because we depend on some helper classes.
We need to move those classes to apacheds-test-framework.
