Can you please review the current state? > Implement NiFi test harness > --------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-5318 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5318 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Peter Horvath > Priority: Major > > Currently, it is not really possible to automatically test the behaviour of a > specific NiFi flow and make unit test type asserts if it works as expected. > For example, if the expected behaviour of a NiFi flow is that a file placed > to a specific directory will trigger some operation after which some output > file will appear at another directory, once currently can only do one thing: > test the NiFi flow manually. > Manual testing is especially hard to manage if a NiFi flow is being actively > developed: any change to a complex, existing NiFi flow might require a lot of > manual testing just to ensure there are no regressions introduced. > Some kind of Java API that allows managing a NiFi instance and manipulating > flow deployments like for example, [Codehaus > Cargo|]https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/] would be of great help. > > > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
