Hi all, First some background: 1. We use maven as our build tool. 2. We use Hudson as our CI server, it is setup to delegate build work to a cluster of build-slave VMs. 3. We'd like to do very little (preferably none at all) admin work on each build-slave VM to get it up and running builds. This is so we can grow the build cluster quickly on demand.
To this end we'd like our tests to be able to run without requiring external dependencies, i.e. no requirement that there be a running database or some such. We use Cassandra for data storage and have been able to quite successfully write a test extension that configures and starts up an embedded Cassandra instance before running tests that rely on Cassandra. Now, I'd like to do the same for ZooKeeper. Has anyone tackled and solved this problem before? Thanks, Ishaaq
