Arquillian Transaction Extension

Hi guys,

First of all congratulations on your 1.0.0.Alpha2 release of the ATE! I was just wondering if you had produced any quickstarts for this functionality to show how to get started with it?

Thanks,

Tom

No quickstarts yet.

Currently the Transaction Extension doesn't do much within the scope of testing special transaction cases, it's only a Declarative API (similar to @TransactionManagement) that binds a TransactionProvider's lifecycle to the Test lifecycle. e.g.

@Test @Transactional(manager = "MyManager", value = TransactionMode.Commit)
public shouldDoSomething() {}

This will lookup "MyManager" from the TransactionProvider SPI and execute commit after Test is executed. Similar there is Rollback and Disabled TransactionModes.

We did find a silly bug in Alpha2 which cause the TransactionProvider to not to work inside a container, but working on fixing that now and hopefully Alpha3 will be out today/tomorrow.

Would love to have your feedback on other possible usecases/spis etc for Transactional behavior.
