How to define Arquillian Drone capabilities dynamically

[jollytoad]

I'm using the Arquillian Drone SauceLabs extension, and I'd like to set the name of the SauceLabs test to the name of my test class. Setting the name is simply a case of setting the 'name' capability when initialising the WebDriver, but I'm struggling to find a way that I can pass capabilities through to Drone on a per test class basis. Any suggestions?

Hi,

AFAIK there is no way to set any capability from code - it is possible only through the arquillian.xml file. There are two possibilities how to set capabilities dynamically:

1) using profiles

2) using variables

then there in your arquillian.xml specify this ${variable} and for each run/profile set different value.

I've had to do some really dodgy hacking with reflection to do this... Adaptavist / reference-plugin / source / src / test / java / com / adaptavist / arquillian / SauceLabsTestNameExtensi…

Basically extracting the capabilityMap from the WebDriverConfiguration and adding a new entry.

WebDriverConfiguration really could do with a setCapability(String, Object) method.

Here's the result: Sauce Labs | Dashboard

:-D

Yeah, in this way it is possible then. I wasn't thinking about such a hack - but if it works for you, why not :-).
