13.9. Selectively Enabling Activators for a Test
The test framework defaults to a mode where the entire application descriptor is processed during a test run. This means all gateway bindings and service implementations are activated during each test. There are times when this may not be appropriate, so we allow activators to be selectively enabled or disabled based on your test configuration.
In this example, SOAP bindings are excluded from all tests. (This means that SOAP gateway bindings will not be activated when the test framework loads the application.)
@RunWith(SwitchYardRunner.class)
@SwitchYardTestCaseConfig(config = "testconfigs/switchyard-01.xml" exclude="soap")
public class NoSOAPTest {
...
}
This example includes only CDI bean services as defined in the application descriptor:
@RunWith(SwitchYardRunner.class)
@SwitchYardTestCaseConfig(config = "testconfigs/switchyard-02.xml" include="bean")
public class BeanServicesOnlyTest {
...
}
Sometimes you will need to add some procedures before you perform the test. The JUnit @Before operation is invoked immediately after the application is deployed. You cannot, however, use it if you expect something to happen before deployment.
