Seam 2 - Arquillian Old

Overview

With Arquillian Seam 2 extension you can easily test your applications created with Seam 2 framework against real containers!

Following features are supported:

Test enrichment for @In injection points from the Seam 2 Context.
Packaging support for adding the Seam 2 framework (so you don't need to specify it explictly in your @Deployment method).

You can turn off autopackaging feature in arquillian.xml. See subsequent section for details.

Additional configuration

You can customize Arquillian Seam 2 extension configuration in arquillian.xml by adding following element:

<extension qualifier="seam2">
  <!-- This way you can override Seam version
       which you have defined in pom.xml -->
  <property name="seamVersion">2.2.1.Final</property>
</extension>

List of all available properties

Property name	Default value	Description
`seamVersion`	2.2.2.Final	Version of Seam 2 framework artifact used by autopackaging mechanism
`jbossElVersion`	1.0_02.CR5	Version of JBoss Expression Language extension artifact used by Seam 2
`autoPackage`	true	Turn on/off autopackaging feature.

Let's consider following Seam 2 component

@Name("fluidOuncesConverter")
public class FluidOuncesConverter
{

   public Double convertToMillilitres(Double ounces)
   {
      return ounces * 29.5735296;
   }

}

In order to test it we can write standard Arquillian-powered test:

import static org.fest.assertions.Assertions.assertThat; // fluent assertions used in the test
// arquillian and seam imports

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class ComponentInjectionTestCase
{
   @Deployment
   public static Archive<?> createDeployment()
   {
      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
                       .addClass(FluidOuncesConverter.class)
                       .addPackages(true, "org.fest")
                       .addAsResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "seam.properties")
                       .setWebXML("web.xml");
   }

   @In
   FluidOuncesConverter fluidOuncesConverter;

   @Test
   public void shouldInjectSeamComponent() throws Exception
   {
      assertThat(fluidOuncesConverter).isNotNull();
   }

   @Test
   public void shouldConvertFluidOuncesToMillilitres() throws Exception
   {
      // given
      Double ouncesToConver = Double.valueOf(8.0d);
      Double expectedMillilitres = Double.valueOf(236.5882368d);

      // when
      Double millilitres = fluidOuncesConverter.convertToMillilitres(ouncesToConver);

      // then
      assertThat(millilitres).isEqualTo(expectedMillilitres);
   }
}

Maven setup example

The only extra dependency needed is arquillian-seam2, as described in the snippet below.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.extension</groupId>
  <artifactId>arquillian-seam2</artifactId>
  <version>${version.arquillian.seam2}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Take a look at the Getting started to see how you set up arquillian using maven.

Note: You might face problems obtaining some Seam 2 dependencies. You should add these repositories to fix the problem.
