run jira with testkit backdoor enabled

[Tomasz Stec]

Hi, i am trying to figure out how to start JIRA (by atlas-run) so that it will have testkit rest modules enabled. I want JIRA to be exactly as it is during atlas-integration-test, so i can run my tests from IDE using JUnit/JWebUnit as it's shown in this tutorial: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/guides/other/tutorial-writing-integration-tests-for-your-jira-plugin#Tutorial-WritingintegrationtestsforyourJIRAplugin-integration-tests

Edited:

Maybe my first question wasn't accurate enough... i have the pom configuration as Petar Petrov showed below and when i start JIRA the Testkit Plugin is installed and enabled. The problem is that i want to run my tests (using FuncTestCase) from Eclipse. I have tried to run this simple test:

public class SlaInformationPanelTest extends FuncTestCase {
        @Before
        public void setUpTest() {
        }
        @Test
        public void testCreateSLAPriorityCustomFieldFuncTest() {
            Backdoor backdoor = new Backdoor(new TestKitLocalEnvironmentData());
            backdoor.project().addProject("TEST", "TEST", "tstec");
		}
}

and it failed.

I debug it and figure out that backdoor object wants to invoke request to:
http://localhost:5437/jira/rest/testkit-test/1.0?os_authType=basic&os_username=admin&os_password=admin

and there is no such rest resource so it throws an exception:
com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterfaceException: Client response status: 401

I thought this rest resource is exposed by TestKit Plugin but apparently it is not.

So to be accurate: How do i need to configure my pom to start JIRA and respond to my tests run from Eclipse ?

[Petar Petrov (Appfire) · Accepted solution]

401 means that the server has not authenticated you, not that the resource is not present - check if the user and password are correct. You can go to the Manage Add-ons page and check if the testkit plugin with all its modules is enabled.

Thanks Petar! that was the problem... i started JIRA with external data source so i had to setup JIRA data on my own from scratch (using wizard) and i created main admin account as "tstec". I didn't know TestKit plugin wants account "admin" to authenticate. Not it works as a charm

hi, i have another problem, i cannot launch remotely tests that inlude JIRA instance data restoration. Any of this works...

administration.restoreBlankInstance();
//neither
administration.restoreData("data.zip");
//nor
administration.restoreBlankInstanceWithLicense(LicenseKeys.V2_DEVELOPER_LIMITED);

how can i perform JIRA data restoration by remote run ? (JIRA instance on server and my test code localy run from Eclipse)

[Petar Petrov (Appfire)]

We use:

backdoor.restoreBlankInstance(TimeBombLicence.LICENCE_FOR_TESTING);

Where backdoor is an instance of com.atlassian.jira.testkit.client.Backdoor.

unfortunatelly it does not work too... here's a stacktrace:

and the test i wanted to run:

@Before
    public void setUpTest() {
        TestKitLocalEnvironmentData tkled = new TestKitLocalEnvironmentData();
        Backdoor backdoor = new Backdoor(tkled);
        backdoor.restoreBlankInstance(TimeBombLicence.LICENCE_FOR_TESTING);
        if (!administration.usersAndGroups().userExists("tstec")) {
            administration.usersAndGroups().addUser("tstec", "tstec", "Tomasz Stec", "tomasz.stec@comarch.pl", false);
            administration.usersAndGroups().addUserToGroup("tstec", "jira-developers");
            administration.usersAndGroups().addUserToGroup("tstec", "jira-administrators");
        }

    }

    
    public void testLogin() {
        navigation.logout();
        navigation.login("tstec", "tstec");
        navigation.logout();
    }

Check for error in the JIRA log, or the console output if your run with atlas-run - something is failing on the server.

[Petar Petrov (Appfire)]

You need to add the following section in you pom.xml in the plugins section:

<plugin>
				<groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-jira-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>${amps.version}</version>
				<extensions>true</extensions>
				<configuration>
					<compressResources>false</compressResources>
					<extractDependencies>false</extractDependencies>
					<productVersion>${jira.version}</productVersion>
					<productDataVersion>${jira.version}</productDataVersion>
					<enableFastdev>false</enableFastdev>
					<allowGoogleTracking>false</allowGoogleTracking>
					<pluginArtifacts>
						<pluginArtifact>
							<groupId>com.atlassian.jira.tests</groupId>
							<artifactId>jira-testkit-plugin</artifactId>
							<version>${testkit.version}</version>
						</pluginArtifact>
					</pluginArtifacts>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

The pluginArtifacts bit instructs maven to start JIRA with the JIRA testkit plugin. If you already have the maven-jira-plugin configuration in you pom just add the pluginArtifacts bit.

The property testkit.version holds the version of the testkit plugin - use the appropriate version which is compatible with your jira.version. Pay attention to the property names - may be different in your pom.

Thanks, for your answe, but unfortunetelly my question wasn't clear enough, so i edited it. Do you have experience with such case?
