Hi Mohnish,
this sounds more like a maven related thing if i understand correctly.
You want to run api-func-tests as a sideeffect "automatically" whenever
real-impl-func-tests are run, correct ?
Since they are currently unrelated maven projects, the only thing to trigger
them - and just them - together is by grouping the modules together in the
super pom using maven profiles:
<profile>
<id>realFuncTest</id>
<modules>
<module>api-func-test</module>
<module>real-func-test</module>
</modules>
</profile>
Then you run from parent dir with "mvn clean test -PrealFuncTest".
To me, as long as the tests are in different projects, there's no other way
to control the "run them together" than using the parent pom.
This has also to do with the fact that, in exam, we run things like in
normal junit tests, even using surefire/maven junit plugins to execute. As
far as i know, there's no such thing as running tests automatically before
running another.
Anyhow, there might me a way doing this, but this needs an extension in pax
exam to
1. configure "automatically" triggered tests in certain form
2. run them once triggered.
The solution i have in mind could probably work with doable effort.
If you feel the stuff written here is what you want, feel free to add a new
feature request to http://issues.ops4j.org
for this.
Have a nice day,
Toni
