| Here is a simple recipe to add a new asadmin command test to this test suite. |
| Please let me know if you like it. Adding a new test should not take |
| more than 2 minutes, if you know what to test. |
| |
| 0- This suite is meant *exclusively* for asadmin tests. It uses TestNG. |
| 1- Extend BaseAsAdminTest which has got bunch of utility routines. |
| The design of this tests is done with this in mind. You have to |
| extend BaseAsAdminTest. Don't reinvent the wheel. |
| 2- Start with *CAREFUL* copy + paste. |
| 3- Look at any of the existing subclasses of BaseAsadminTest. Add |
| the command of your choice and annotate it with @Test. |
| Most of the time what you want is the "Manifest" object from an |
| asadmin command invocation. Utilities are provided for the same. |
| 4- Add the command class in ../testng.xml. |
| 5- That's it. |
| |
| Limitations: |
| 1- Does not use Maven. (That is not a real limitation :)) |
| Pom.xml is provided only for IDE. It's imperative that |
| you use IDE. Just point NetBeans to this pom.xml and your test development |
| will be easier. Pom.xml is not used for building. |
| 2- As of now, tests can't be run from this folder. You have to run them from |
| the parent folder (../) |
| 3- Assumes a standard setup (default domain.xml etc.). |
| 4- If the suite fails then you'll need to modify domain.xml by hand before |
| re-running it. |
| |
| Note: |
| 1- ../testng.xml |
| <parameter name="admin.url" value="http://localhost:4848/__asadmin"/> |
| <parameter name="admin.user" value="admin"/> |
| <parameter name="admin.password" value=""/> |
| are the real parameters available to every test. You don't have to worry |
| about this. |
| |
| TBD: |
| 1- Make the suite runnable with a domain that has password protection. |
