Re: [virgo-dev] Test Framework

[Peter Gardfjäll <peter.gardfjell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've also been struggling with the test framework. My feeling is that
there are a lot of configuration files, manifests, annotations, etc
that need to be carefully written (and duplicated) for each
integration test. All in all, a lot of tedious and error-prone setup
and lots of places where things can go wrong which leads to a lot of
head scratching due to the, often quite complex, troubleshooting that
is required to get to the root cause.

It would be really nice to have a test framework that takes care of
more of the heavy lifting. For example, something similar to the
Spring-DM testing framework, where a test case could extend a
AbstractVirgoKernelTestCase/AbstractVirgoWebServerTestCase or
something similar, that starts the test bundle (and any additional
test bundles pulled in by the test case subclass) inside a Virgo
Kernel or Virgo web server. Perhaps with the ability of the concrete
test class to provide custom Virgo options/properties by programmatic
means.

Has anything along those lines been discussed/planned in Virgo?

best regards, Peter
