Hi Vincent,
IMO, we should be using the IT plugin, since we're testing a given
plugin in the context of a running Maven instance, not on its own. For
tests we *can* do in isolation, I think unit testing still needs to be
part of the solution, maybe even using PlexusTestCase derivatives where
they're needed. There has been some talk about creating a test harness
that would essentially mock up the context maven instance, but IMO this
is dangerous, since it will mean maintaining and resyncing an extra
codebase simply to support testing.
I spent some time on Saturday night getting the it plugin up and running
again, and I think it's time to release it. I'll call a vote for it, and
see if I can get it released at the end of the week or something, but
I'm going to be on vacation...so things could be a bit sketchy. I think
it's ready to release the first version and move it out of the sandbox.
It could use some documentation, but it seems to work pretty well.
As for the 403 error on the plugin-parent's sha1 file, I've fixed the
permissions on both the staging repository and ibiblio. I'm not sure
what caused this, but it may be related to a bug that Brett's been
seeing when doing scp deployments (he released the plugin parent, IIRC).
There's an issue open for it...it was marked as blocker priority at one
point, but I'm not sure whether it still is.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
I'm working again on the clover plugin (which I'd like to release ASAP). I
wanted to move the it test I have in components/examples to the plugin
itself.
I wanted to use the it plugin for running it but I've just realized that the
it plugin has never been released (not even in alpha). Thus if I use it, I
guess Continuum will fail.
I checked a few plugins and I couldn't see any integration tests for them so
I'm wondering what's our strategy WRT it tests for our core plugins.
Should we use the it plugin?
Should we use directly the embedder in our tests?
I think it makes more sense to use the it plugin. In that case could we
release an alpha version of it?
On a releated note, I've moved to Maven 2.0.1 final and I've tried to build
the it plugin from sources. It's failing with:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for
URL:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-plugin-parent/2
.0.1/maven-plugin-parent-2.0.1.pom.sha1
Any idea?
Thanks
