Test Containers

A Test Container can be defined by implementing

  • org.ops4j.pax.exam.spi.container.TestContainer
  • org.ops4j.pax.exam.spi.container.TestContainerFactory

At runtime there should be just one TestContainerFactory implementation defined, so that it can be found by Apache Commons Discovery

 (TestContainerFactory) DiscoverSingleton.find( TestContainerFactory.class )

Implementing new options

Options can be defined by

  • Pax Exam SPI (core options)
  • A Test Container Implementation

by implementing org.ops4j.pax.exam.Option.

For new options, you must make sure that the desired Test Container recognizes them. Pax Runner Test Container has
org.ops4j.pax.exam.container.def.internal.ArgumentsBuilder to "convert" Options into Pax Runner parameters.
