Hi, I want to write automated tests for some contrib applications, but I need you help on some questions.
== Prb 1. Folder Structure + Changing IDs == Currently the majority of applications don't have modules. Also some applications have IDs that don't correspond with the contrib standard: sometimes wrong groupId like 'org.xwiki.contrib.forum', sometimes random artifactId. When wanting to change the groupId for 'org.xwiki.contrib.forum' I was told that we should change it only if we have a very good reason, otherwise changing the ID will resolve in upgrading problems within the Extension Manager. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly the problem with the changing of the ID, I just know I don't need to do it :) (//sorry Thomas) Example: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-forum Theoretically, wanting to add tests I would need to create two modules: - application-forum-test - application-forum-ui, and move the current sources here. Unfortunately this means a change in the ID. Are 'adding tests' a good reason to change the ID? Should I not change the ID, and just add a test module? - application-forum-test - src/main/resources == Prb 2. Naming standards == We have some conventions on contrib.xwiki.org about name of the project. We should add maybe some more examples on groupId and artifactId. Also when looking at the test modules names, some applications have: - {{full-repository-name}}-tests - {{full-repository-name}}-test - {{partial-repository-name}}-test - {{random-repository-name}}-test - test Maybe we should agree also on this and document it. I guess the correct name would be: - {{full-repository-name}}-test -- {{full-repository-name}}-test-pageobjects -- {{full-repository-name}}-test-tests - {{full-repository-name}}-ui Also if we are 'discovering' some applications that don't correspond to the standard, do we change them or do we let them be? Since changing means a change in the ID :P Since in theory we should have automated tests for all our applications, should we add a convention to always create a - {{full-repository-name}}-ui ? Additional question: Also when we will transfer from platform to contrib, are we going to rename the modules?
