Shaping Warp Alpha2

[lfryc]

Hey everyone,

I went through Warp issues and scheduled them to:

warp_1.0.0.Alpha2

warp_1.0.0.tracking (Issues to be likely addressed in scope of 1.0)

warp_1.next (Features and issues to be included in future releases)

For Alpha2 I plan to

• cover all featured bug fixes

ARQ-982 Response header size exceeded in Warp test.

ARQ-972 Warp tests should be excluded from scanning by CDI container

• introduce features which were identified as critical for Warp-based tests

ARQ-967 client-side filters for waiting for "right" request or enriching several requests

ARQ-980 Make ServletRequest an injectable resource

ARQ-964 Verify that all tests in ServerAssertion has been called - prevents false negatives

ARQ-992 Warp does not support request redirection.

ARQ-1003 Request timeouts during server/proxy debugging

• introduce SPI changes in order to allow integrate with Warp's and Arquillian's extensions easily

ARQ-979 Allow Warp extensions to inject Arquillian resources

ARQ-981 Move BeforeServletEvent and AfterServletEvent to SPI

ARQ-1027 Support CommandService Protocol SPI via Warp Protocol

So right now, it is ideal time to step in and involve in development of new features or get fixes done,

or make sure your favorite issues gets into Alpha2 release!

This rather general questions: Do you have any plans on adding support for any other web frameworks in the long term? Struts or Play comes to my mind, although I'm pretty sure that the second one has it's own in container tests solution.

Hey Jakub, basically every use case is worth to be explored - although I don't know about attemps to write such integrations, I will help anyone who would like to try warp those or other frameworks.

In the long-term, I'm sure we will explore integration with REST/JavaScript clients and I'm also looking into how to integrate with GWT.

Hey Lukas,

I really like the new features in Alpha 2 that have been implemented so far. When could we expect next Warp release?

Hey Jakub,

we are using JIRA Greenhopper to track efforts in Warp development:

https://issues.jboss.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=181&view=planning&selectedIssue=ARQ-969&epics=visible

The release of Alpha2 should happen by the end of the November.

Notice there is some low-hanging fruit planned for next development sprint,

or there are documentation issues in the backlog.

If any of issues appeals to you, feel free to assign yourself and hack on that!

Great news, everyone: Warp is getting closer to Alpha2 release!

There is last sprint scheduled for Alpha2: https://issues.jboss.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=181

Thanks to our heroes Jakub who implemented builders for HttpFilters,

and Vineet who did great investigation on request redirection issue.
