Donald Woods reassigned OPENJPA-876: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Michael Dick (was: Donald Woods) Michael, I attached 2 patches for your review and possible commit, which made building and running the openjpa-persistence-jdbc unit tests against DB2 a lot easier for me. > Better test profiles for proprietary databases (DB2, Oracle) and continuous > build > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OPENJPA-876 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-876 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 2.0.0 > Reporter: Michael Dick > Assignee: Michael Dick > Fix For: 1.3.0, 2.0.0 > > Attachments: OPENJPA-876-branches13x.patch, OPENJPA-876-trunk.patch > > > Currently we use the test-custom and test-custom2 profiles in > openjpa-persistence-jdbc/pom.xml to enable testing of a variety of databases. > Basically anything that does not have a publicly available JDBC drivers. > This support works well if you run the build manually, but isn't always > perfect when using a continuous build system. > In many continuous build systems you want to have a single build definition > which can be run on any number of machines. Ideally each machine could store > the database settings in ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml. Where this becomes a > problem is if a single machine wants to use our test-custom profile in > conjuction with another one. For example mvn -Ptest-custom,test-custom-oracle > clean install. In order to make this work Maven would have to set variables > in test-custom-oracle and then read them in the test-custom profile. Ensuring > that the properties are handled in the correct order is cumbersome and > doesn't seem to work in recent versions of maven / surefire. > To resolve the problem I propose creating specific profiles for testing with > various proprietary databases. These profiles rely on the user running mvn > install:install-file ${maven args} to install a copy of the jdbc drivers in a > local repository prior to running, but after that one time setup step it's a > lot easier to run tests on various databases (manually or on a build system). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
