Shibboleth Developers

["Howard Gilbert" <>]

A JUnit based IntegrationTest is now checked into /tests/edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.integration. It uses classes in /tests/edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.runner and configuration files accessed as resources from /testresources.

To run it in Eclipse, change your project to add /testresources as a "source" directory in the Windows-Preferences-Java-Build Path. Yes there is no actual java source in this directory, but declaring it to be a source causes the configuration files to be copied to the generated classes where they are available as resources during execution of the test.

Right clicking on IntegrationTest and choosing Run as - JUnit Test runs the three test cases. All tests execute the IdP, SP, and Filter in sequence. One test does a POST with Attribute Push, one does a POST with Attribute Query, and one does an Artifact signon.

There is extensive commentary in IntegrationTest, which should serve as a model and documentation of how to run the tests. There is not, however, an exhaustive set of functional checks and test assertions. There is, however, some effort to exercise a lot of features and the debugging trace shows the correct operation of some ARP and AAP processing.

Although this can be used for automated testing, it also serves as a good platform for debugging new features or changes. Right click and choose Debug as instead of Run as to run everything under the debugger.
