Class TestPropertyFactory

java.lang.Object

org.alfresco.bm.driver.test.prop.TestPropertyFactory

public abstract class TestPropertyFactory
extends Object

Factory bean for test property definitions.

This factory picks up all loaded properties passed to it and uses a naming convention to isolate test property defaults and related values.

So, if a property abc is required by the test, then the following needs to be put into a properties file; the search for additional properties files is classpath:config/defaults/*.properties:

• ${test.projectName}.abc.default=Some default
• ${test.projectName}.abc.group=Group name: properties can be logically ordered by into groups for display purposes
• ${test.projectName}.abc.title=Label or title
• ${test.projectName}.abc.description=Help text
• ${test.projectName}.abc.type=int/string/decimal/boolean
• ${test.projectName}.abc.min=Minimum value or minimum length (int/string/decimal types only)
• ${test.projectName}.abc.max=Maximum value or maximum length (int/string/decimal types only)
• ${test.projectName}.abc.regex=A regular expression to control string validation (string type only) (default:'.*')
• ${test.projectName}.abc.mask=true to hide the value when test runs values are recorded e.g. password=***** (string type only) (default:false)
• ${test.projectName}.abc.hide=true if the property is for internal use (default:false)

Inheritance order is strictly defined using property:
inheritance=[projectA].[projectB].[etc]
The default inheritance order is:
inheritance=common i.e. the common project's values are retrieved first and then overlayed with values from other projects. The property should be defined for all tests where values for specific properties need to be modified.
