Hi,
The subject pretty much says it all. I notice that Gradle has its own
integration test framework with executors - are these available to
plugins for their own integration tests?
Not really. But they could be, with some tidy-up.
For Gradle, we have 2 types of tests for plugins:
1. The test uses a fixture to create a Project instance, which the test
drives programmatically eg
@Test pluginDoesSomeStuff() {
Project project = createRootProject()
project.apply type: MyCustomPlugin
// Make some assertions about what the plugin has done to the project
}
2. The test uses a fixture to execute a Gradle build. There are 2
implementations: one uses the GradleLauncher API to run the build in
process, and one forks the gradle command to run the build in a child
process. E.g:
@Test pluginDoesSomeStuff() {
File buildFile = ...
buildFile << '''
apply type: MyCustomPlugin
// maybe some other stuff
'''
executer.usingBuildFile(buildFile).withTasks('someTask').run()
// make some assertions about what the build has done
}
Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?
