== Grails Plugin Windtunnel

A framework for blackbox testing of Grails plugins.

=== Abstract

When developing Grails plugins, we can write unit & integration test cases that check the internals of the plugin, but we have no easy way of testing the plugin once it's been packaged. +

.To test a packaged plugin, we must:

* Install the plugin to our local build-tool cache or deploy it to a repository.

* Create a new test application.

* Configure the application to depend on the plugin.

* Run different test cases.

Multiply this scenario across different versions of OS, Grails and plugins, and you've earned yourself a huge pain in the ass.

=== Current state

.The windtunnel is currently able to:

* Resolve a Grails version using https://github.com/noamt/sgvm[SGVM].

* Create a test application.

* Configure the application to depend on a plugin.

* Start the application.

=== Usage

The Grails Plugin Windtunnel distribution is now available via https://bintray.com/noamt/java-libraries/grails-plugin-windtunnel/[Bintray]. +

==== Author a flight plan

A flight plan is a simple Groovy script that's evaluated with the Windtunnel's DSL.

[source,groovy]

----

usingGrails('2.1.4')

testPlugin(artifactId: 'jquery-ui', version: '1.10.3' /*, repositoryUrl: 'http://jcenter.bintray.com', groupId: 'org.other.group'*/)

at('/tmp/')

----

==== Execute the flight plan

[source,bash]

----

noam@mandromeda:~/gpw$ ./gpw.sh /home/noam/FlightPlan.groovy
