Please can this extension be added to Arquillian and be added to the guides.

I cant see how any reasonable project can be achieved, simply and safely, without the use of Conversation scope (at least).

[tony.herstell1]

Code that uses conversation....

// Leverage EJB to get Transactional Support

@Stateful

// Lets be long running (multiple client-server round trips) - Needs Extended on

// PersistanceContext too to hold onto my objects and not get LIEs.

@ConversationScoped

// EL Can can find me...

@Named

public class UserManagementController extends BaseController {

    private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UserManagementController.class.getName());

   @SuppressWarnings("unused")

    @URLQueryParameter("cid")

    private String cid;

    // DON'T let any Entities be Proxied by WELD so just use class local.

    // According to this definition, JPA entities are technically managed beans.

    // However, entities have

    // their own special lifecycle, state and identity model and are usually

    // instantiated by JPA or using

    // new. Therefore we don't recommend directly injecting an entity class. We

    // especially recommend

    // against assigning a scope other than @Dependent to an entity class, since

    // JPA is not able to

    // persist injected CDI proxies.

    private List<User> users;

    private CRUDMode cRUDMode;

    private CreateMode createMode;

    // Access to the persistence store so we can read from the DB with Long

    // Running extension to go with Conversation Scope above.

    @PersistenceContext(type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)

    private EntityManager em;

    // Inject this to make conversation magic happen

    @Inject

    private Conversation conversation;

...

   /*

     * Hack to pass cid to prettyfaces so it can add it to URL - DONT remove.

     */

    public String getCid() {

        return this.conversation.getId();

    }

    public void setCid(String cid) {

        this.cid = cid;

    }

...

    // A good place to START a conversation from. ** land here off a menu

    // click...

    public String init() {

        this.logger.info(">>>init");

        if (!this.conversation.isTransient()) {

            this.logger.info("Existing conversation found:" + this.conversation.getId() + " Ending it...");

            this.conversation.end();

        }

        this.logger.info("+++CONVERSATION START");

        this.conversation.begin(); // START THE LONG RUNNING CONVERSATION

        this.logger.info("conversation:" + this.conversation.getId());

        this.logger.info("<<<init");

        return "pretty:manageUsers";

    }

etc.

Test Code that doesnt work.... (See pl.com.it_crowd.arquillian.mock_contexts.ConversationScopeRequired;)

    @ConversationScopeRequired

    @Test

    public void conversationScopedBeanTest() {

        // Assert.assertEquals(0, userManagementController.getCid());

        // userManagementController.setCid("1");

        // Assert.assertEquals(1, userManagementController.getCid());

        Assert.assertTrue(true);

    }

If you want to use Conversation object you need to mock it, cause it's tightly coupled with Weld impl.

Humm..

As it's a test do I add to beans.xml in the normal project or create a beans.xml in the test area?

This:

BeansDescriptor.class

From:

final String beansDescriptor = Descriptors.create(BeansDescriptor.class)

                .createAlternatives()

                .clazz(MockConversation.class.getCanonicalName())

                .up()

                .exportAsString();

is not found; where did this come from (import?)?

http://artifactory.it-crowd.com.pl/repo is giving unobtainable at the moment

The Joys....

found more info here:

   http://blog.it-crowd.com.pl/2012/04/mock-contexts-for-arquillian.html

[blabno]

Artifactory is back again, thank you for reporting that. BeansDescriptor comes from shrinkwrap-descriptors-impl-javaee.

[tony.herstell1]

>> Now you need to register it as alternative in beans.xml you ship with deployment:

Do you have an example?

I assume:

	<alternatives>
		<class>com.apiarymanager.controller.users.userManagement.MockConversation</class>
	</alternatives>

>> As it's a test do I add to beans.xml in the normal project or create a beans.xml in the test area?

[tony.herstell1]

Please can you see where you are getting shrinkwrap-descriptors-impl-javaee from in your pom.

I dont have it available.

[tony.herstell1]

I THINK this line means you dont have to include the override in beans.xml at all.....

final String beansDescriptor = Descriptors.create(BeansDescriptor.class)

                .createAlternatives()

                .clazz(MockConversation.class.getCanonicalName())

                .up()

                .exportAsString();

I have foce added this to pom:

		<!-- And this for Conversation scope -->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.descriptors</groupId>
			<artifactId>shrinkwrap-descriptors-api-javaee</artifactId>
			<version>2.0.0-alpha-3</version>
		</dependency>

but alas now this is not known:

.addAsWebInfResource

What version of arquillian are you using?

[blabno]

Example:

https://github.com/blabno/mock-contexts-extension/commit/f6f3fc2f638043d77943e2c21aba27cf8998abc2

[tony.herstell1]

Gets me to...

>>

No resource META-INF/services/org.jboss.shrinkwrap.descriptor.api.beans10.BeansDescriptor was found configured for user view class org.jboss.shrinkwrap.descriptor.api.beans10.BeansDescriptor

<<

@Deployment

    public static WebArchive createDeployment() {

        final String beansDescriptor = Descriptors.create(BeansDescriptor.class)

                .createAlternatives()

                .clazz(MockConversation.class.getCanonicalName())

                .up()

                .exportAsString();

        WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)

                .addClass(UserManagementController.class)

                .addClass(Identity.class)

                .addAsWebInfResource(new StringAsset(beansDescriptor), "beans.xml")

                .addAsManifestResource("META-INF/persistence.xml", "persistence.xml")

                .addAsManifestResource("arquillian.xml", "arquillian.xml")

                .addAsManifestResource(new StringAsset(beansDescriptor),"beans.xml");

        System.out.println(war.toString(true));

        return war;

    }

Thx for the support Bernard

[blabno]

You're missing somethin in pom.xml. Compare all dependnecies versions with the sample i've povided. Try comparing "mvn dependency:tree" on both my sample and your project.

Is there an update to getting conversationm scope formally added?
