Summary: Enhance FixtureScript service, support "non-strict" mode
Key: ISIS-908
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-908
Project: Isis
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: core-1.6.0
Reporter: Dan Haywood
Assignee: Dan Haywood
Fix For: core-1.7.0
Currently the design of the fixture script service is that a given fixture
script can only run once (by class/type). This supports the approach where a
leaf fixture script encodes both the "how to" (which business operations to
perform) and also the "what" (what the fixture data actually is). This
distinction is seen in Estatio as the difference between the "abstract"
superclasses (eg LeaseAbstract) and the concrete subclasses (eg
LeaseForOxfPret004, LeaseForKalPoison001).
But another way to use fixture scripts is to keep the "what" in the calling
fixture, and just have the leaf fixture scripts be parameterizable. eg in
effect LeaseAbstract becomes concrete (rename to LeaseSetUp) and can be called
multiple times.
Thus, make the fixture script configurable to either strictly enforce the rule
that a given fixture class can only be run once (Estatio's design) or, um,
simply not enforce that (the other design).
