    Enabling "null" in arquillian.xml and arquillian.properties

    kpiwko

      Hello,

       

      sometimes, there is a need to store null in arquillian.xml or arquillian.properties.

       

      This need raises when you use Maven filtering but for some combinations you want to remove a property altogether.

       

      An example:

       

       

      <extension qualifier="webdriver">
         <property name="firefox_binary"></property> <!-- for some profiles, I want to remove this property -->
      </extension>
      

       

      What would be the best approach? Note that we should have a way that works for both arquillian.xml and arquillian.properties

       

      • convert "" to null
      • remove empty strings from parsed descriptor
      • allow <null /> in arquillian.xml
      • allow null everywhere
      • null for properties, null and <null /> for xml

       

      Currently, we workaround this using following, something like:

       

      <extension qualifier="webdriver">
         ${firefox_binary.workaround}
      </extension>
