Run/Debug Configuration: Arquillian TestNG

Run | Edit Configurations | new | Arquillian TestNG


Arquillian TestNG run/debug configurations let you run and debug your Arquillian TestNG tests. (The JBoss Arquillian Support plugin must be enabled.)

See also, Arquillian: a Quick Start Guide.

Name, Share, and Single instance only

Item Description
Name The name of the run configuration.
Share Select this check box to share the run configuration through version control.

If the check box is not selected, the run configuration settings are stored in .idea/workspace.xml or the .iws file.

If the check box is selected, the settings are stored in a separate .xml file in .idea/runConfigurations or in the .ipr file.

See Project format and files.

Single instance only If you select this check box, only one instance of the run configuration will run at a time.

Arquillian Container tab

To configure your Arquillian containers, click Configure. Then select the container to be used.

See also, Arquillian Containers.

Configuraion tab

This tab lets you specify the settings for TestNG.

ItemDescription
All in packageRun all tests in a package.

Package. The fully qualified name of the package.

In whole project. IntelliJ IDEA will look for the tests in all the modules.

In single module. IntelliJ IDEA will look for the tests only in the module that is selected in the Use classpath of module field.

Across module dependencies. The same as the previous option plus the modules that depend on that module.

SuiteRun a test suite.

Suite. Specify the corresponding testng.xml file.

GroupRun a test group.

Group. The group to be run. Learn more about TestNG groups.

ClassRun a test class.

Class. The fully qualified name of the test class to be run.

MethodRun a test method.

Class. The fully qualified name of the test class.

Method. The name of the method to be run.

PatternRun the tests that conform to the specified pattern.

Pattern. Form the pattern by clicking new and then selecting one or more TestNG test classes. Alternatively, click editorIcon and type the pattern in the dialog that opens.

Output directoryThe directory in which test reports will be generated.
JDK Settings
VM optionsOptions and arguments to be passed to the JVM in which the tests run.

When specifying the options, follow these rules:

  • Use spaces to separate individual options, for example, -client -ea -Xmx1024m.
  • If an option includes spaces, enclose the spaces or the argument that contains the spaces in double quotes, for example, some" "arg or "some arg".
  • If an option includes double quotes (e.g. as part of the argument), escape the double quotes by means of the backslashes, for example, -Dmy.prop=\"quoted_value\".

The -classpath option specified in this field overrides the classpath of the module.

Test runner parametersArguments to be passed to the test runner.

Use the same rules as for specifying the VM options.

Working directoryThe current working directory for the tests.
Environment variablesThe environment variables to be passed to the corresponding JVM.
Use classpath of module The module whose classpath is used when running the tests.
JREThe JRE to be used.
Parameters
Properties fileSpecify the .properties file to be passed to TestNG.
Name - ValueAdditional paramenters as key - value pairs.
Listeners
new deleteUse these icons to make up a list of listeners.

Code Coverage tab

Use this tab to configure code coverage monitoring options.

ItemDescription
Choose code coverage runner Select the desired code coverage runner.

By default, IntelliJ IDEA uses its own coverage engine with the Sampling mode. You can also choose JaCoCo or Emma for calculating coverage.

SamplingSelect this option to measure code coverage with minimal slow-down.
TracingSelect this option to collect accurate branch coverage. This mode is available for the IntelliJ IDEA code coverage runner only.
Track per test coverageSelect this check box to detect lines covered by one test and all tests covering line. If this check box is selected, junitIcon becomes available on the toolbar of the coverage statistic pop-up window.

This option is only available for the Tracing mode of code coverage measurement for the testing run/debug configurations.

Refer to the section Viewing Code Coverage Results.

Merge data with previous resultsWhen you run your unit testing or application configuration several times, use this item to calculate statistics in the Project View, taking into account the statistics of each time you have run the configuration.

Finally, the line is considered covered if it is covered at least once.

Packages and classes to record code coverage dataClick add-class and add-package buttons to specify classes and packages to be measured. You can also remove classes and packages from the list by selecting them in the list and clicking the delete button.
add Click this button to define the scope of code coverage analysis. In the Add Pattern dialog box that opens, type the comma-delimited list of Ruby regular expressions, and specify whether the matching files should be included into or excluded from code coverage analysis.

The patterns defining files to be included into code coverage analysis, are marked with +; the ones to be excluded are marked with -.

Each pattern can be enabled or disabled. To do that, select or clear the check box next to a pattern. By default, all newly created patterns are enabled.

delete Click this button to delete the selected pattern from the list.
edit1 Click this button to change the selected code coverage pattern.
Do not use the optimized C runtimeSelect this check box to enable the option --no-rcovrt. Use this option with discretion, since it significantly slows down performance.
Enable coverage in test folders.If this check box is selected, the folders marked as test root_Test.png are included in the code coverage analysis.
Use bundled coverage.py If this check box is selected, IntelliJ IDEA will use the bundled coverage.py.
If this check box is not selected, IntelliJ IDEA will use the coverage tool included in the selected Python interpreter.

Refer to the section Code Coverage for details.

Logs tab

Use this tab to specify which log files generated while running or debugging should be displayed in the console, that is, on the dedicated tabs of the Run or Debug tool window.

ItemDescription
Is ActiveSelect check boxes in this column to have the log entries displayed in the corresponding tabs in the Run tool window or Debug tool window.
Log File EntryThe read-only fields in this column list the log files to show. The list can contain:
  • Full paths to specific files.
  • Ant patterns that define the range of files to be displayed.
  • Aliases to substitute for full paths or patterns. These aliases are also displayed in the headers of the tabs where the corresponding log files are shown.

    If a log entry pattern defines more than one file, the tab header shows the name of the file instead of the log entry alias.

Skip ContentSelect this check box to have the previous content of the selected log skipped.
Save console output to fileSelect this check box to save the console output to the specified location. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and point to the desired location in the dialog that opens.
Show console when a message is printed to standard output streamSelect this check box to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.out.
Show console when a message is printed to standard error streamSelect this check box to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.err.
addClick this button to open the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog where you can select a new log entry and specify an alias for it.
edit1Click this button to edit the properties of the selected log file entry in the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog.
deleteClick this button to remove the selected log entry from the list.
browseButton.png Click this button to edit the select log file entry. The button is available only when an entry is selected.

Show this pageSelect this check box to show the run/debug configuration settings prior to actually starting the run/debug configuration.
Activate tool window If this check box is selected, the Run or the Debug tool window opens when you start the run/debug configuration.

Otherwise, the tool window isn't shown. However, when the configuration is running, you can open the corresponding tool window for it yourself if necessary.

Toolbar

ItemShortcutDescription
newAlt+InsertCreate a run/debug configuration.
deleteAlt+DeleteDelete the selected run/debug configuration.
