Subject: Using the embedder for ITs
Hi,
Just wanted to float the idea of using the embedder for the ITs. It's
been discussed before but now I think it's getting close to possible
with the work on the embedder-refactor branch. The CLI uses the embedder
on the branch and everything works.
The subtlety is that it will not be the command line anymore in the
strict sense even though it's the same code now. The one benefit is that
trying to run the ITs through the embedder I believe will stimulate some
cleanup in the core because I know for sure they would not all pass
right now because of some thread safety issues and use of System
properties. The other benefit is that the ITs would probably run in 5
seconds which would be nice.
Any thoughts?
Jason, why would Its run faster with the embedded than they would do through
maven proper?
The JVM would be brought up once and the each IT would use the same
instance of the embedder.
What is your suggestion here? Is it to modify the it plugin so that is uses
the embedded. If so I think it makes complete sense and there's even a
comment already in the it plugin (AFAIR) saying that the code should be
replaced with the embedder...
I'm thinking more the verifier code here. So instead of forking and
invoking Maven each time for each IT an execution request would be made
to the embedder. That should speed things up significantly. Just to be
clear this would be for all the itXXX tests we have in maven-core-it.
But the IT plugin would be another candidate for embedder use. So then
the CLI, Ant Tasks, ITs and IDEs would use the same code.
Thanks
-Vincent
