More Arquillian and JSFUnit integration

[ssilvert]

Hi all,

I've just finished documentation for using injection with Arquillian and JSFUnit.  It's all ready for you to try out!  This greatly simplifies your test code by allowing JSFSession, JSFClientSession, and JSFServerSession to be automatically injected into your tests.

@Test
@InitialPage("/index.jsf")
public void MyTest(JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) {
   // my test code
}

Here is some early documentation to get you started.  The goal is to eliminate a lot of boilerplate code and make JSFUnit tests easier to read.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!!

Very interesting stuff!

Any thoughts on porting this to use the Arquillian SPIs instead of CDI ?

Would make it workable for older containers(ee5) and non CDI deployments.

That would be great.  Currently, I am using CDI's @Produces methods for JSFSession, JSFClientSession, and JSFServerSession.   All the code that creates the objects is in JSFSessionFactory.  How do I use the Arquillian SPI to create and inject these objects?

Using the TestEnricher SPI should be doable:  https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian/blob/master/spi/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/spi/TestEnricher.java

resolve(Context, Object[], Method) <- Object array with index of Method arguments, read Method to find Annotations etc

enrich(Context, Object) <-- Object is the test instance, here you can do instance variable injection.

You also need to use the AuxiliaryArchiveAppender SPI to package up the TestEnricher 'bundle' so it gets deployed along side the users deployment.

I'm stealing the JSFUnitArchiveAppender from you anyway. 

Using the TestEnricher looks very doable.  I think most of my code for JSFSessionFactory will stay the same.  I'll probably have questions next week when the holiday is over.
