How to start/stop hsqldb using maven? - java

I'm trying to start and stop hsqldb using maven.
I want to start hsqldb server with a specific configuration (database) before the test phase and stop it afterwards and doo the same with an other configuration before and after application starts.
At the moment I start hsqldb with the maven exec plugin but the problem is that the server startup is blocking the complete maven build process (Hit CTRL+C to stop the server.)
Also there is no solution for stopping the server automatically.
Best regards
Hemeroc

check my hsqldb maven plugin :
https://github.com/avianey/hsqldb-maven-plugin
You can just start/stop it like jetty-maven-plugin or tomee-maven-plugin :
<plugin>
<!-- current version -->
<groupId>fr.avianey.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>hsqldb-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<!--
default value for in memory jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/xdb
override only values you want to change
-->
<configuration>
<driver>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver>
<path>mem:test</path>
<address>localhost</address>
<name>xdb</name>
<username>sa</username>
<password></password>
<validationQuery>SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_USERS</validationQuery>
</configuration>
<!-- call start and stop -->
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-hsqldb</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>

<goal>start</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-hsqldb</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>

<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>

Run Jmeter tests with direct call only

I added the Jmeter plugin to my project and now its load tests are running together with the maven build.
<!-- Jmeter -->
<plugin>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
<artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>jmeter-tests</id>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jmeter</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I wanted Jmeter tests to run just by running the command:
mvn jmeter:jmeter -Pjmeter
I didn't want it to run when performing any maven lifecycle like for example:
mvn install
As the tests are performed in a Restful API the load test will be performing POST and creating data in the database every time a maven lifecycle is run.
Can someone help me?
Just put your JMeter Maven Plugin declaration under the jmeter profile like:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>jmeter</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
<artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
<executions>
<!-- Generate JMeter configuration -->
<execution>
<id>configuration</id>
<goals>
<goal>configure</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<!-- Run JMeter tests -->
<execution>
<id>jmeter-tests</id>
<goals>
<goal>jmeter</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<!-- Fail build on errors in test -->
<execution>
<id>jmeter-check-results</id>
<goals>
<goal>results</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
this way JMeter maven plugin will be executed only if you explicitly specify the jmeter profile

custom java action in maven phase

i am using javemelody to monitor performance of my app. i am using jetty maven plugin which starts up during mvn install and runs all test cases before generating the war. i wanted to generate a pdf report at the end of post-integration-test phase.
<execution>
<id>stop-jetty</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
i was thinking if i can access the report url of embedded jetty to access javamelody, then maybe i can download my report to some location like using
curl localserver/context/monitoring?reports=pdf
is it possible to execute a custom script/java program in the post-integration-test phase before shutting down the embedded jetty ?
I would suggest to start jetty in the pre-integration-test phase do what ever you need to do in the integration-test phase and shutdown in post-integration phase.
Everything you need to do can be run via an integration test by the usage of the maven-failsafe-plugin.
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.16</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
with the above setup you can simply write an integration test for example WhatEverINeedToDoIT.java in src/test/java location and run it.

Code coverage of client/server web application

I am writing a multi-module application. Some of the modules are just basic Java libraries which are then included in the WAR of a webapp.
I would like to run code coverage in the following scenario:
I am running the webapp through an embedded Jetty that is started via Maven.
I have tests which are executing HTTP requests against the webapp.
I would like to get code covered in the webapp and also by the tests.
Is this possible and how can it be achieved with Cobertura, JaCoCo or Emma? From what I understand, the code coverage will only cover the client-side code in this scenario. Am I correct?
I think if you would manage to attach the JaCoCo-agent to the jvm that runs the jetty, it should be able to measure which code has been called over the time you run the integration tests against your webapp. So you should get a statistic that shows you the code coverage.
There is a JaCoCo Maven Plugin - though I'm not sure if this will help with you scenario. Just used it during unit tests.
Edit: found a blog-post that seems to point in the right direction here
Measure Code Coverage by Integration Tests with Sonar
Here's how I achieved it
Assuming you already have a minimal pom.xml config:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</
<version>0.7.4.201502262128</vers
</plugin>
Download JaCoCo's agent and copy jacocoagent.jar to a suitable location (e.g. $HOME/tools/jacocoagent0.7.4.jar)
Attach JaCoCo's agent to Maven's JVM via:
export MAVEN_OPTS="$MAVEN_OPTS \
-javaagent:$HOME/tools/jacocoagent0.7.4.jar=output=tcpserver,port=6300"
Run your application with embedded jetty server e.g. mvn jetty:run
Run your integration tests
In another shell, dump and report via mvn jacoco:dump jacoco:report
Open your report on ./target/site/index.html (by default)
You can use Jacoco plugin to generate code coverage Here is the plugin configuration I used for junit test code coverage.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.5.10.201208310627</version>
<configuration>
<skip>${maven.test.skip}</skip>
<output>file</output>
<append>true</append>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>jacoco-initialize</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>jacoco-site</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Note: you may get life cycle not covered error in maven while using eclipse, one way is you explicitly mention the life cycle using plugin management. I installed the jacoco plugin from the market place which resolved my problem
We had a similar scenario where integration test were run on a jetty server. Also we needed a combined report for all the tests unit and integration. The solution we implemented was to run-forked jetty and pass the jvmargs with the jacoco javaagent details. Our code coverage reports covered all the rest api's and the service layer java code.
The pom config for jacoco
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jacoco-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<append>true</append>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>prepare-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<destFile>${project.build.directory}/jacoco.exec</destFile>
<propertyName>surefireArgLine</propertyName>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>prepare-integration</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent-integration</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<destFile>${project.build.directory}/jacoco.exec</destFile>
<propertyName>failsafeArgLine</propertyName>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
With the above config we generated a common exec file for both unit and integration test. Next we configured jetty to run-forked
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jetty-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<stopKey>foo</stopKey>
<stopPort>9999</stopPort>
<webApp>
<contextPath>/myway</contextPath>
<descriptor>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml</descriptor>
</webApp>
<!-- passing the jacoco plugin as a jvmarg -->
<jvmArgs>${failsafeArgLine}</jvmArgs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-jetty</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<configuration>
<daemon>true</daemon>
<waitForChild>false</waitForChild>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run-forked</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-jetty</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This would launch jetty in a separate jvm with the jvmargs. Finally we generated the report in the reporting tag of the pom. We noticed that adding the report to the build plugins did not capture the integration tests run by the jetty.
<reporting>
</plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jacoco-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<reportSets>
<reportSet>
<id>jacoco-report</id>
<reports>
<report>report</report>
</reports>
</reportSet>
</reportSets>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
The reports can be accessed at target/site/jacoco/index.html, alternately you can run it from the command line.
mvn jacoco:report
Hope it helps.

Use tomcat7x when binding Cargo start/stop goals to Maven integration-test phases

I have successfully configured Cargo in my pom.xml to start tomcat7x when executing the 'mvn cargo:run' command. This is the Cargo plugin configuration I used:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<configuration>
<containerId>tomcat7x</containerId>
<containerUrl>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.30/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.30.zip</containerUrl>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And that's fine and works well. However, I now want to bind the Cargo start and stop goals to the maven pre-integration-test and post-integration-test phases. I use the same configuration as above but also add executions to the plugin as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<configuration>
<containerId>tomcat7x</containerId>
<containerUrl>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.30/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.30.zip</containerUrl>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-container</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>start</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-container</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This does also work very nicely, starts the container in the pre-integration-test, executes my integration tests, and then stops the container in the post-integration-test phase. The only problem is that it is not the tomcat7x container I configured, it starts the default Jetty container and seems to ignore my tomcat7x configuration.
How can I get these executions to work with the tomcat7x container that I have configured?
Thanks.

How to control a tomcat container during the runtime with maven?

I have a Maven project which executes integration tests for another web-application. This application is deployed and started within a tomcat container.
The configuration for this is done in the “cargo-maven2-plugin”:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<wait>false</wait>

<cargo.servlet.port>${itest.port}</cargo.servlet.port>
<cargo.servlet.uriencoding>UTF-8</cargo.servlet.uriencoding>
<cargo.jvmargs>-Xmx1024m</cargo.jvmargs>
</properties>
</configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat6x</containerId>
<home>${TEST_TOMCAT_HOME}</home>
</container>
<deployer>
<deployables>
<deployable>
<groupId>de.apllicationundertest</groupId>

The (web-)apllication under tests is integrated as a dependency in the pom.xml of my integration test project, so I have no absolute or relative path to the war.
My problem is that I can't control the tomcat container during the runtime of my program. Though my test scenario requires the stopping and restarting of the container (and the redeployment of the apllication under test) between some tests, f.e. for checking if there are still some active Threads after the stopping of the container or if there are still some elements of my apllication in the cache,...
I want to configure the starting and stopping of the container outside java, preferably in the pom.xml. Is that possible?
Can I specify that certain unit tests require a restarting and execute that? How?
I don't think it is possible since starting container is done in pre-integration-test phase. Why specyfic tests need to be run in restarted server? If it is possible try rewrite your test (do cleanup).

If you need this hardly you can try put configuration for separate tests in dedicated profiles. Each profile will contain configuration of cargo and surefire/failsafe plugins.

You can specify what test should be run. Look at surefire/failsafe plugin configuration

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

What you can do from Maven is what you are currently doing: starting and stoping cargo during the pre-integration-test and post-integration-test phases respectively.
Can I specify that certain unit tests require a restarting and execute that? How?
No, this is not possible. Maven doesn't have this granularity and doesn't give you any hooks for that. If this is really what you need, you have two options:
Control the container from Java like I described in this previous answer.
Put the tests in separate maven modules (so that maven will start and stop your container for each).
