Writing integration tests for REST API Tool

[Karl Heinz Marbaise]

I'm currently in developing a REST API tool (https://github.com/RisingOak/jenkins-client)  which gets information from jenkins about different aspects and consume the REST API...but now I'm at the point where i need to write appropriate tests which means i need to setup Jenkins in a test way...

I have found things like this:

    @Rule

    public JenkinsRule jenkinsRule = new JenkinsRule();

   FreeStyleProject fsp = jenkinsRule.getInstance().createProject(FreeStyleProject.class, "TestProject");

   fsp.scheduleBuild(0, new Cause.UserIdCause(),

                    new ParametersAction(new StringParameterValue("BUILD", "" + i)));

So the question is how can i inject things like ChangeSet items etc. like informations which are coming from version control systems like git, svn etc. or does exist a better solution for this?

Can someone give me a hint ? Or better idea?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Hello Karl-Heinz,

you create test jobs and let Jenkins parse the changelog for you. Take a look at
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jswidgets-plugin/tree/master/src/test/resources/hudson/plugins/jswidgets/PluginIT/jobs/svntest for an example.
Regards
Mirko

Hi Mirko,

first thanks for the hint but unfortunately i need the information external which i can extract already by REST API but for this i need the way to do some testing of the REST API if all objects etc. are filled correctly ....

Kind regards

The question is: 

[Ullrich Hafner]

Wouldn’t such test be better part of our acceptance test suite: https://github.com/jenkinsci/acceptance-test-harness

Here you can setup Jenkins with all required plug-ins, configure the system and the job as test fixture. You even can use external systems embedded in a docker container.
