 # Integration Test Environments

This directory contains definitions for different test environments.

## Linux based test environments

The linux based test environments use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and will have a `Dockerfile`.

The test procedure will typically be something like this:

```
$ ID=$(docker build -q .) && docker run --rm -t -i $ID bash
$ cd $HOME
$ git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git
$ ( cd maven && mvn clean verify )
$ git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/maven-integration-testing.git
$ ( cd maven-integration-testing && mvn clean install -Prun-its -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/work/repo -DmavenDistro=$HOME/maven/apache-maven/target/apache-maven-...-bin.zip )
```

## Other operating systems

The non-linux based test environments use [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) and will have a `Vagrantfile`.

The Vagrant based test environments all require [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) as the vagrant provider.

NOTE: Where there are additional downloads required to populate the base box image, there will be a `Makefile` in the environment directory. In these cases you will need to run `make` before `vagrant up` will work.

For most unixes the test procedure will be something like:

```
$ vagrant ssh
$ git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git
$ ( cd maven && mvn clean verify )
$ git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/maven-integration-testing.git
$ ( cd maven-integration-testing && mvn clean install -Prun-its -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/work/repo -DmavenDistro=$HOME/maven/apache-maven/target/apache-maven-...-bin.zip )
```
