updating samples test cases.
1. find the test case you wish to copy.
copy recursively resources/testdata/<you_want_to_copy>-war to a new folder (ex. resources/testdata/NEW-war )
edit resources/testdata/new-war/pom.xml (change artifact-id to NEW-war, and name to something descriptive )
edit resources/testdata/pom.xml and add module MEW-war
edit core/samples/pom.xml
under Test data artifacts, add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>NEW-war</artifactId>
<version>${cargo.resources.version}</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
under Location of testdata dependencies..., add
<property>
<name>cargo.testdata.NEW-war</name>
<value>org/codehaus/cargo/NEW-war/${cargo.resources.version}/simple-NEW-${cargo.resources.version}.war</value>
</property>
this will create a property that an implementation of AbstractDataSourceWarCapabilityContainerTestCase can understand
add a new test class that does what you want, extending AbstractDataSourceWarCapabilityContainerTestCase or a subclass of it. Make sure you use an appropriate Validator for the configuration type you are concerned with. Otherwise you may end up testing invalid containers.
finally, execute mvn -P<container_to_test> install from the root of Cargo.
