configureArquillian extension

The configureArquillian task is used to easily integrate Arquillian and the Arquillian Liberty Managed and Remote containers with your existing Liberty project. It provides two major advantages:

  1. The ability to set arquillian.xml container properties directly within the build.gradle.
  2. Automatic generation of arquillian.xml when using the Arquillian Liberty Managed container.

For more convenient integration with the Arquillian Liberty Managed/Remote containers and JUnit/TestNG, you can use this task with the Arquillian Liberty Dependency Bundles.

Notice: Be aware of false positive test results when using certain versions of TestNG with Arquillian. More information can be found here.

Automatic generation of arquillian.xml

For both Arquillian Liberty Managed and Remote containers, the configureArquillian task can automatically generate and configure the arquillian.xml that usually exists in the src/test/resources directory, eliminating the need for the user to manually create the file in projects with only a single Arquillian container.

Furthermore, when using the Arquillian Liberty Managed container, configureArquillian will also automatically specify the three required configuration parameters: wlpHome, serverName, and httpPort. These are set to values specified in the liberty-gradle-plugin.

The configureArquillian task will perform configuration for the Liberty Managed or Remote container based on which container exists on the classpath. Arquillian does not allow for more than one container on the classpath. In the event of neither container existing on the classpath, the configureArquillian task will default to providing configuration for the Liberty Managed container.

dependsOn

configureArquillian depends on deploy and processTestResources.

Properties

Here is a list of common configuration parameters for the Arquillian Liberty Managed and Remote configurations:

Property Type Description Default
arquillianProperties Dictionary Used to set key/value pairs of configuration parameters in arquillian.xml. Managed: A dictionary containing values for wlpHome, serverName, and httpPort as specified in the liberty-gradle-plugin.
Remote: An empty dictionary when using the Arquillian Liberty Remote container.
skipIfArquillianXmlExists Boolean Skips the configureArquillian task if arquillian.xml already exists in the build directory. False

For documentation of the Liberty Arquillian Containers, please see the following links:

Examples

This is an example of using configureArquillian in a Managed container environment. Specify the following tasks below the liberty closure in your build.gradle. The properties used by configureArquillian are set inside of the arquillianConfiguration extension:

arquillianConfiguration {
    arquillianProperties = ['outputToConsole': 'true']
    skipIfArquillianXmlExists = true
}

test {
    reports.html.outputLocation = file("$buildDir/reports/it")
    reports.junitXml.outputLocation = file("$buildDir/test-results/it")
    include '**/*IT*'
    exclude '**/unit/**'
    testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
    dependsOn 'deploy', 'testClasses', 'configureArquillian'
}

Note that test depends on configureArquillian to ensure that the arquillian.xml will be generated before integration tests are run.

You can verify that the arquillian.xml is being generated properly by viewing it at build/resources/test/arquillian.xml. You'll know that the file was generated by the configureArquillian task if the following comment is at the end of the file:
