How to extend Arquillian for a custom test framework

anujgandharv Aug 28, 2013 5:29 AM

Hi,

I would like to know how I can extend Arquillian for a custom test framework (built on top of JUnit). So instead of standard JUnit, I would like to use my extensible version of JUnit with Arquillian. The project I want to integrate with Arquillian is called EasyTest (https://github.com/EaseTech/easytest-core)

I have looked into the "Arquillian Testing Guide" but couldn't find any section that talks about extending Arquillian for a new test framework.

If there is no guide/references, then is there any reference of how Arquillian calls JUnit and what class I can override so that I can infuse my behaviour into an existing Junit Test.

Thanks,

Anuj

Hi Anuj,

I guess what you need is to override standard Arquillian test runner with your own. You can look at this project https://github.com/cukespace/cukespace?source=c, to be more concrete, at this class

https://github.com/cukespace/cukespace/blob/master/core/src/main/java/cucumber/runtime/arquillian/ArquillianCucumber.java

Please know this is very low level approach. In Arquillian, there is the concept of extensions. If you want to know how to write extensions (it is quite simple after getting the basics), lets any existing extension at github be your guide.

Reference can be very helpful as well, there is lot of information what is going on under the hood: Reference Guide - Arquillian - Project Documentation Editor

Last but not least, thank you very much for being interested in Arquillian project as such.

Thanks Stefan for your reply. I will try to get hold of extensions provided by Arquillian.

Cheers!
