Description
I'm trying to do an integration test that depends on a war/ear to be deployed.
What i'm missing is:
- integration-test-compile stage and/or:
- a way to specify an integrationTestSourceDirectory or multiple testSourceDirectories in the pom
I can't put the test sources in src/test/java because then surefire will run them in the test stage, when
there's no artifact to deploy yet.
[Btw, I'm doing this while creating a cactus plugin, for the moment using cargo in the TestSuite itself to deploy.]
The idea is that the integration test sources go in src/itest/*; that there be a integration-test-compile,
integration-test-package and/or integration-test-appdeploy[or something] and that surefire
is also bound to integration-test.
Maybe something can be done using the src/test/project/some-project/.... approach seen in
maven-javadoc-plugin, maven-site-plugin and maven-eclipse-plugin (i'd like to see some of that
standardized anyway to allow plugin testing generally - which can also be seen as integration testing).
Thoughts, comments, approaches?
we chatted with jdcasey for add some new phases.
For integration test source directory, I think it must be defined as a plugin parameter because a project can have multiple type of integration tests (tests for war/ear, test for ui, test for performance...). Each test type are specific to a plugin.
