-----------------------------------
Summary: Implement NiFi test harness
Key: NIFI-5318
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5318
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Peter Horvath
Currently, it is not really possible to automatically test the behaviour of a
specific NiFi flow and make unit test type asserts if it works as expected.
For example, if the expected behaviour of a NiFi flow is that a file placed to
a specific directory will trigger some operation after which some output file
will appear at another directory, once currently can only do one thing: test
the NiFi flow manually.
Manual testing is especially hard to manage if a NiFi flow is being actively
developed: any change to a complex, existing NiFi flow might require a lot of
manual testing just to ensure there are no regressions introduced.
Some kind of Java API that allows managing a NiFi instance and manipulating
flow deployments like for example, [Codehaus
Cargo|]https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/] would be of great help.
