https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1187/how-to-start-the-ivy-server-in-plain-java<p>There are several questions regarding how to access to Ivy environment JUnit tests but there is no elegant solution so far.</p> <p>In Ivy Designer, if I start the Ivy Server and then start run JUnit tests, the Ivy Server will be automatically stopped. I'm trying to find a way to avoid this (and not sure if there is).</p> <p>I'm trying to implement a JUnit <code>TestRunner</code> which could start the Ivy Server programmatically but as of now, I don't know the way. What I could found is:</p> <p><code>IServer server = ServerFactory.createEclipseEmbeddedTestServer(); server.start(null); &lt;-- stuck here since I don't know how to instantiate IProgressMonitor</code></p> <p>My questions are:</p> <ul> <li>Is it possible to configure and run JUnit tests in designer along with the engine?</li> <li>How can we programmatically start a server?</li> </ul> <p>Thanks &amp; Best Regards</p>enFri, 06 Mar 2015 08:48:35 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1187/how-to-start-the-ivy-server-in-plain-java/1213<p>You can pass a <strong>new org.eclipse.core.runtime.NullProgressMonitor()</strong> to the mentioned method.</p> <p>But anyway I also think that Tamas is right. Normally its better to start a real server with e.g. with Maven. The maven script could then be used to test locally or remote on the ci-server. So you really know if the test will run on ci or not as you execute the same logic: </p> <ol> <li>on phase pre-integration-test: start a server, deploy projects (e.g. by calling ant as tamas suggested)</li> <li>on phase integration-test: execute your junit test e.g. with maven-surefire</li> <li>on phase post-integration-test: stop the server</li> </ol>Reguel WermelingerFri, 06 Mar 2015 08:48:35 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1187/how-to-start-the-ivy-server-in-plain-java/1213https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1187/how-to-start-the-ivy-server-in-plain-java/1206<p>i'm wondering about reasons why to test anything in Designer. Likely you want to make sure that the solution works for the customer (on a server Engine).</p> <p>I suppose you already use some Continuous Integration to make sure your tests executed automatically. <a href="https://guidelines.axonivy.com/projects/guides/wiki/Continuous_integration">https://guidelines.axonivy.com/projects/guides/wiki/Continuous_integration</a></p> <p>With Ant or Maven scripts you can control when an Engine is started and stopped. In between you may execute any number of (JUnit) Tests.</p> <p>In case you really want to test the Designer itself, e.g. you write Eclipse plugin to Ivy, then see my private mail with attached Eclipse based Test cases.</p>Tamas KISThu, 05 Mar 2015 12:10:51 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1187/how-to-start-the-ivy-server-in-plain-java/1206
