Maven: Conditional Execution upon IT Success / Failure - maven

Here is something I''ve tried to come up with an idea, but I'm not sure.
We do have a module which should be built, deployed and then integration test begins (via failsafe, but others might be fine). We'd like to selectvely invoke mojos based on its results.
I think verify from failsafe should do the trick (with probably some gmaven trickery), but how to validate the results of failsafe? Perhaps some Test Listener Magic with JUnit could help?
Any ideas how could we achieve that, considering a Maven (and Probably Hudson) scenario?
Thank you

Let do the first part of that do Hudson (run integration tests) and do a failsafe:check in your integration test cycle and based on the result you can start a dependenant job in Hudson to run an other job whatever this job will do. But you can't execute selective mojos based on results (afak).

How to run Junit5 and TestNG togather in Maven pom

I have some set of test cases configured with TestNG. I developed preconditions in junit5 and this has to be run before the test starts. So I wanted to run in sequence Line Precondition(junit5) and then Testcases.
I am using dependency for Junit5 and TestNG7 in PM.XML. Below is a snapshot of POM.xml htmlunitTest.java is for junit5 and testng.xml for TestNGTest cases. while running build is terminating successfully without execution of any test.
You probably do not want to hear my answer. It is the best I have anyway: Don’t take that route! Don’t couple two frameworks that are not made to work together.
Although there might be a convoluted and hacky way to achieve what you describe, you’re setting yourself up for unnecessary technical complexity. Stick with one framework and use its own means for preconditions or fixing a test order.

Forked execution of SpringBootTest's with maven failsafe plugin - does it work out of the box?

Consider you have a Spring-Boot Application and within this application also a bunch of Integration-Tests, which are annotated with #SpringBootTest and run with the SpringRunner class.
They are invoked by the maven failsafe plugin, which by default does not parallelise tests in any way. The tests all run fine without any issues.
What changes if you use failsafe's feature of forkCount - can you expect the test execution to work out of the box? Do you need to adjust some code? What do you need to look out for that could potentially not allow these integration tests to run in a forked, "parallel" environment via this plugin?
From my understanding, the failsafe plugin will create forkCount-many JVMs and in each some of the integration tests are executed. That sounds like there is nothing to do, you don't need to make anything threadsafe, you don't need to make Singleton-beans into ThreadScoped beans or anything - as the process of having multiple JVM's should already create multiple of these beans.
Sorry if the question appears weird, I tried researching this question but I could not find an answer.
From Maven doc:
The parameter forkCount defines the maximum number of JVM processes
This means that the tests will run in it's own process and therefore you will have separate Spring Boot instances. So you really don't have to care about thread safety.
But you have to care about memory consumption.

Running jacoco report where integration tests are in one code base and source code is in another code base

I recently started working on creating jacoco reports for maven projects including unit and integration tests and they seem to work out correctly.
Now I have encountered a different scenario which I am not sure how to approach.
I have one workspace which consists of integration test cases - application A, but the source code does not exist in the same workspace/code base. The source code which actually runs on invoking these integration test scripts are in a different workspace/code base - application B(they are invoked using rest api calls with the localhost urls. The jboss server is started for application B so that the localhost context is up) from the integration tests.
The aim is to invoke these integration tests from application A, which in turn calls the source code of these tests in application B generating the jacoco report of the code coverage for application B.
I am not actually sure how to achieve this.
Can someone provide some input.
Thanks.
If I understand you correctly, you actually have 2 different processes in your scenario:
The "client" process that runs the integration tests and for which jacoco can be easily applied, but it's not what you need
The "server" process that runs the actual JBoss server and executes the actual code.
Client process contacts the server via HTTP.
In this case, I'm afraid jacoco won't be able to provide a coverage for you if you're running the tests from maven/gradle, because jacoco instruments only bytecode on the running JVM. So you have to be "creative" here :)
I'll list here some possible approaches
Disclaimer: I haven't tried them though (didn't work with jboss/java ee), but maybe you'll be able to at least borrow some ideas
The first approach would be running the tests together with the application somehow, like its done for example in spring tests (I'm not sure whether JBoss provides similar capabilities).
The idea is simple:
You run the integration test, it runs the jboss "embedded in the same jvm" and you can inject beans / EJB session beans into the test (like autowiring with spring).
The advantage of such a method is that you'll be able just to use jacoco maven plugin and it will instrument everything for you
I don't know how easy will be achieving this architecture technically, I know that recent jboss versions support embedded mode, So maybe you'll find This link to be a useful foundation
Another direction is to take a look at Arquillian project. They have some jacoco extension that probably will help, but I've never tried it.
And the last approach I can think of is running the jboss server with jacoco agent directly instead of relying on the build system that runs jacoco for you.
The idea here is to stream the results of covered server code into some file / tcp endpoint. So you run the jboss with -javaagent:[yourpath/]jacocoagent.jar and it starts streaming the results wherever you need it to stream. After the tests you should gather these results and prepare a report. You can find Here more information about this approach

How to order unit test execution from Gradle?

Is there any way to specify the order of the unit tests classes run by a Gradle Test task?
I'd like to get some known longer-running tests at either the front or the back of the list, but don't know if it's possible without splitting my tests' execution between multiple tasks.
Running JUnit 4.12 and Gradle 4.5.
Gradle simply delegates execution to the JUnit runner.
So if you want specific test class ordering, you will need to create a Suite and specify the test classes in the order you want, see the JUnit documentation for this.
Now, given the flexibility of Gradle in terms of having different source roots, I would strongly recommend doing the separation at the Gradle level, by create extra test source roots, test task and the like. This will allow you to effectively control when these long running tests are run in a standard build execution, but also to skip them or run these only when desired. The ordering at the JUnit level will not give that flexibility without much more tweaking. See the Gradle documentation on adding source sets.

How to check test quality with Sonar?

Currently, we are using Sonar to check the quality of our production code. I would Like to check the quality of the test Code either.
How can I do it ?
I tried to change the "sonar.sources" to include test, but in this case i have an error : test folders are defined twice, one in test and one in source.
May be I can configure sonar / maven / jenkins to run 2 analysis : first one, the src code, with the test coverage, thant the tests (only quality, no coverage). But I also need to have everything run in a single jenkins job and displayed in a single Sonar Project.
And I don't know where to configure (pom ? sonar ? jenkins ?) I found some things about profiles, but it seems to be deprecated for my version.
I'm using Sonar 5.1, run from a jenkins job.
our Sonar properties in the pom are :
<project.testresult.directory>${project.build.directory}/test-results</project.testresult.directory>
<run.addResources>false</run.addResources>
<sonar-maven-plugin.version>2.6</sonar-maven-plugin.version>
<sonar.exclusions>src/main/webapp/assets/**/*.*,
src/main/webapp/bower_components/**/*.*,
src/main/webapp/dist/**/*.*</sonar.exclusions>
<sonar.jacoco.itReportPath>${project.testresult.directory}/coverage/jacoco/jacoco-it.exec</sonar.jacoco.itReportPath>
<sonar.jacoco.reportPath>${project.testresult.directory}/coverage/jacoco/jacoco.exec</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>
<sonar.java.codeCoveragePlugin>jacoco</sonar.java.codeCoveragePlugin>
<sonar.javascript.jstestdriver.reportsPath>${project.testresult.directory}/karma</sonar.javascript.jstestdriver.reportsPath>
<sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPath>${project.testresult.directory}/coverage/report-lcov/lcov.info</sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPath>
<sonar.sources>${project.basedir}/src/main/</sonar.sources>
<sonar.surefire.reportsPath>${project.testresult.directory}/surefire-reports</sonar.surefire.reportsPath>
<sonar.tests>${project.basedir}/src/test/</sonar.tests>
In the latest versions of the Java plugin there are some rules to check tests, but they are test-specific rules. I.E. they check if your #Test methods contain assertions &etc. You simply need to add those rules to your profile.
If, however, you're talking about running "code rules" on your tests, then your best bet is probably to define another project where the tests are treated as sources. Since you've already noted the difficulties of doing that with Maven, I would use SonarQube Scanner for this separate, second analysis.
