Java – maven, Jenkins – how to build projects into different test environments?
I have a java project with JUnit test, which needs to be run on different test environments (DEV, staging, etc.) through Jenkins
How to set up the construction of the project to a different environment and how to pass the URL, user name and password to Maven?
Can I use the Maven 3 configuration file to read the environment URL, user name and password from the properties file?
Edit: I have added a profile to project POM:
<profiles> <profile> <id>Integration</id> </profile> <profile> <id>Staging</id> </profile> <profile> <id>PP1</id> </profile> <profile> <id>PP2</id> </profile> <profile> <id>PP3</id> </profile> </profiles>
How do I pass URLs, usernames, and passwords to these profiles?
At present, the test is to obtain the test environment details from the properties file:
public class BoGeneralTest extends TestCase { protected WebDriver driver; protected BoHomePage boHomePage; protected static Properties systemProps; String url = systemProps.getProperty("Url"); String username = systemProps.getProperty("Username"); String password = systemProps.getProperty("Password"); int defaultWaitTime = Integer.parseInt(systemProps.getProperty("waitTimeForElements")); static { systemProps = new Properties(); try { systemProps.load(new FileReader(new File("src/test/resources/environment.properties"))); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
Edit 2:
Changes implemented in the test runner class:
public class BoGeneralTest extends TestCase { protected WebDriver driver; protected BoHomePage boHomePage; protected static Properties systemProps; String url = systemProps.getProperty("Url"); String username = systemProps.getProperty("Username"); String password = systemProps.getProperty("Password"); int defaultWaitTime = Integer.parseInt(systemProps.getProperty("waitTimeForElements")); String regUsername = RandomStringUtils.randomAlphabetic(5); final static String appConfigPath = System.getProperty("appConfig"); static { systemProps = new Properties(); try { systemProps.load(new FileReader(new File(appConfigPath))); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
Solution
I won't include any attributes in POM, but I will use external attribute files in every environment, at least you don't need to touch POM when the attributes change
In your POM, specify a profile that references a property file whose properties are located at:
<profiles> <profile> <id>staging</id> <properties> <app.config>/your/path/to/app.staging.properties</app.config> </properties> </profile> </profile>
You can then pass it to your surefire configuration:
<plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <systemPropertyVariables> <appConfig>${app.config}</appConfig> </systemPropertyVariables> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins>
From your test, you can load the contents of the properties file, for example:
final String appConfigPath = System.getProperty("appConfig"); // Load properties etc...
In fact, you can actually go further... Dump the Maven configuration file completely and specify - dappconfig = / your / path / to / APP in the Jenkins build configuration staging. properties.
