All, I've just released version 1.2.0 of the nifi-script-tester [1], a utility that lets you test your Groovy, Jython, and Javascript scripts for use in the NiFi ExecuteScript processor. Here are the new features:
- Upgraded code to NiFi 1.4.0 - Added support for incoming flow file attributes For the first point, there was a lot of refactor done in the NiFi Scripting NAR in order to reuse code across various scripting components in NiFi, such as processors, controller services, record readers/writers, and reporting tasks. Getting the codebase up to date will allow me to add new features such as the ability to test RecordReader/Writer scripts, ScriptedReportingTask scripts, etc. For the second point, I'd been asked to add that support for a while so I finally got around to it :) There is now a new switch "attrfile" that lets you point to a Java properties file. These properties will be added to each flow file (whether coming from STDIN or the inputdir switch). In the future I hope to add support for Expression Language, and perhaps figure out a way to specify a set of attributes per incoming flow file (rather than reusing one set for all, whether that set supports EL or not). The code is Apache-licensed and on GitHub [2], I welcome any pull requests :) If anyone gives this a try, please let me know how/if it works for you. As always, I welcome all questions, comments, and suggestions. Cheers! -Matt [1] https://bintray.com/mattyb149/maven/nifi-script-tester/1.2.0 [2] https://github.com/mattyb149/nifi-script-tester
