This is a recording of how to build JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final from source, how to build its test suite and how to run the test suite.

Note that JBOSS_INSTALL in the following document deisgnates the root directory of the unpacked distribution of the JBoss AS.

The documentation of the JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final is fresh and good.  It is available at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Documentation

For this particular topic it is recommended to study the Integration Testsuite User Guide - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/AS+7+Integration+Testsuite+User+Guide

The README.md file in the JBOSS_INSTALL directory is however somewhat faulty in terms of commands for running the testsuite. Rely on the documentation above instead.

Environment

Test performed on JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final (jbossas-jboss-as-7.1.0.Final-0-g2e3f3e9.zip - downloaded from github https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/tree/7.1.0.Final) with Sun Java SE 1.6 and Maven 3.03 on Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit, workstation).

Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100)

OS name: "linux", version: "3.0.0-15-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

Build the AS

Run the build command from the correct directory using Maven 3...

> cd JBOSS_INSTALL
> mvn install

Run the build command from the correct directory and not(!) using Maven 3...

> cd JBOSS_INSTALL
> ./build.sh

This will also run the tests in the smoke test module (ts.smoke).

Build and run testsuite

Build and run the testsuite from the correct directory...

This will run all test modules except those from the smoke tests module

> cd JBOSS_INSTALL
> ./integration-tests.sh install -DallTests -Dts.noSmoke

Results

ts.smoke

Just running the smoke tests with e g the initial build command "mvn install",  gives the following successful output

Below is the results from running all tests (allTests) except the smoke tests (ts.smoke) with "./integration-tests install -DallTests -Dts.noSmoke"

Note that some tests fail ("Integration - Basic" and "Domin Mode Integration Tests"). Reasons are still unclear and are subject to further investigation as time allows.
