Jakob Korherr commented on MYFACES-3217:
----------------------------------------
Big objections here: -1 (sorry for the late answer!)
The integration tests should not only be available for our latest trunk. JSF
2.0 still is used a lot and there are still a lot of bugs that come up. Please
leave the module as is, I will add (NOT move) it to trunk soon.
> Integration tests for MyFaces core
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACES-3217
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3217
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 2.0.7, 2.1.1
> Reporter: Jakob Korherr
> Assignee: Jakob Korherr
>
> Some time ago we already talked about the need for integration tests for
> MyFaces core in order to ensure the quality of MyFaces code, but we never
> created something for this. Now after successfully releasing MyFaces CODI
> v1.0.0 with a working integration-test concept, it is time to apply this
> concept also on MyFaces core.
> The concept is simple: use an integration-test module that will be added to
> the MyFaces core build via profile (-Pintegration-tests) and thus will not be
> part of a release. This module consists of a support module containing
> general integration-test support classes (e.g. an abstract
> MyFacesIntegrationTest base class for all JUnit integration-tests) and
> various war-modules that contain the actual integration-tests.
> The war modules use the cargo maven plugin to start and stop a specific
> container (e.g. jetty or tomcat) and HtmlUnit to run tests against the
> running server. The HtmlUnit tests are executed with the maven failsafe
> plugin to ensure container shutdown in error cases.
> I already created three war-modules with the following configuration:
> - servlet 2.5 and el 1.0 (jetty 7)
> - servlet 2.5 and el 2.2 (jetty 6 and glassfish el)
> - servlet 3.0 and el 2.2 (tomcat 7)
> These modules also already contain a very basic integration test, just as
> reference.
> The plan is to put basic tests that do not need any special configuration
> into these modules and to create new special war-modules for tests that need
> a specific configuration (e.g. MyFaces core on tomcat 6 with bean validation
> and client state saving enabled and ....). In addition, I plan to create an
> archetype for these integration-test war-modules.
> The long-term plan would be to have an integration-test for every jira issue
> on MyFaces core, thus implementing test-driven-development. With the complete
> infrastructure in place, it should not be very hard to create a test case for
> a jira issue (maybe even already by the user that reports the issue) and thus
> being able to fix issues a lot quicker and to ensure that new code or changes
> do not break anything.
> I will create a wiki page describing this stuff in more detail, also giving
> examples on how to create modules and tests and on how to debug tests.
