Re: [testng-users] Maven plugin testing with TestNG?

[Cédric Beust ♔]

Hi Dave,

I don't have much experience writing Maven plugins, much less testing them, but maybe someone else on the list does?

Does anyone have advice or experience using TestNG as the framework for maven plugin tests?

For Mojo testing [1] I've tended to stick with using the maven-invoker-plugin with IT tests as sub maven projects.

Tho those tests don't exactly have a TestNG ( or even JUnit ) level of testing really.

Mark, Cédric:

Thanks for the advice. In looking at the maven-invoker-plugin project site and browsing the clojure-maven-plugin source, I see that this is pretty involved. However, I guess integration tests are non-trivial by their very nature.

In the short term, I'll try maven-invoker-plugin. In the long term, I think I need to get involved in the maven-plugin-testing-harness project and add TestNG support to it. Use of JUnit vs TestNG for plugin testing should be transparent, just as it is for unit testing via maven-surefire-plugin.
