hi all, i am running my UAT tests in mvn2 using Cargo and selenium . Due to problems using cargo plugin (when it started it was not able to find some jars for my webapp), i have written a base test which starts cargo and selenium. Problem i have now is that cargo starts/stops at every setUP and tearDown. Even though tests are ran automatically, i am trying to use a mechanism so tha cargo is started only once and it is stopped only once during hwole lifecycle of my tests.
Wiuth JUnit3, i am unable to find a method that gets called only once (sort of SetUpFixture) for the whole junit session... anyone could give help hee? here' smy AbstractSeleniumTest for reference public abstract class AbstractSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestCase { protected DefaultSelenium selenium; private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()); private InstalledLocalContainer container; public void setUp() throws Exception { System.err.println("--SettingUp Fixture...."); startCargo(); selenium = createSeleniumClient("http://localhost:8080/"); selenium.start(); } public void tearDown() throws Exception { stopCargo(); selenium.stop(); } protected DefaultSelenium createSeleniumClient(String url) throws Exception { return new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", url); } private void startCargo() throws Exception { // (1) Optional step to install the container from a URL pointing to its distribution System.err.println("--- Starting cargo.. ......"); Installer installer = new ZipURLInstaller( new URL(" http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.25/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.25.zip ")); installer.install(); // (2) Create the Cargo Container instance wrapping our physical container LocalConfiguration configuration = (LocalConfiguration) new DefaultConfigurationFactory().createConfiguration( "tomcat5x", ContainerType.INSTALLED, ConfigurationType.STANDALONE); container = (InstalledLocalContainer) new DefaultContainerFactory().createContainer( "tomcat5x", ContainerType.INSTALLED, configuration); container.setHome(installer.getHome()); // (3) Statically deploy some WAR (optional) configuration.addDeployable(new WAR("target/BudgetWeb.war")); // (4) Start the container container.start(); } private void stopCargo() throws Exception { container.stop(); } thanks and regards Marco
