This is a web administration user interface for the integration test framework Citrus www.citrusframework.org. Major functionality objectives are project and configuration management as well as test execution and reporting.
See the complete User Manual for a detailed description on all features ond how to use them.
The administration UI is available as Docker image (consol/citrus-admin:latest). You can pull the image and link it to your local Citrus project:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD:/maven -e CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_HOME=/maven consol/citrus-admin:latest
The command above loads the Docker image and runs a new Citrus web UI container. The container is provided with a volume mount that makes the current directory accessible from within the container. This current directory is then used as project home so the admin UI will automatically open the Citrus project from that directory. Once the container is running you can point your local browser to http://localhost:8080 in order to access the web UI.
The CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_HOME environment setting is optional and is used to automatically open a project on container startup. You can leave out this setting in order to select a project folder
in your mounted working directory when starting the web UI.
In case you do not have a Citrus project ready yet, the admin UI can also create a new project for you. It is possible to run a Maven archetype on container startup that creates a complete new project for you. You can set the Maven archetype coordinates (groupId, artifactId, version) as environment variables when running the container.
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD:/maven -e CITRUS_ADMIN_MAVEN_ARCHETYPE_COORDINATES=com.consol.citrus.archetypes:citrus-quickstart:2.7.5 consol/citrus-admin:latest
The UI will load the Maven archetype and create the project sources when the container is started. The new project gets its Maven coordinates from another environment setting:
-e CITRUS_ADMIN_MAVEN_PROJECT_COORDINATES=com.consol.citrus:citrus-sample:1.0.0
Another way to load a new project on container startup is to specify a git repository URL. The Citrus admin Docker container will then load the project sources from that git repository on startup:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD:/maven -e CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_REPOSITORY=https://github.com/account/citrus-project.git consol/citrus-admin:latest
The command above will load the project sources from git with URL https://github.com/account/citrus-project.git and open that project afterwards. The git repository of course should hold the Citrus project sources. In case
the Citrus project is located in a sub module in that git repository you can load that sub module by specifying additional environment properties:
-e CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_REPOSITORY_MODULE=/integration/citrus-test -e CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_REPOSITORY_BRANCH=bugfix
With these options we are able to start the Docker image as container with special customizations via environment settings.
The citrus-admin Docker image works great with the Fabric8 Docker Maven plugin (https://dmp.fabric8.io/). You can add the plugin configuration as follows in your Maven POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
<artifactId>docker-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<images>
<image>
<alias>citrus-admin</alias>
<name>consol/citrus-admin:latest</name>
<run>
<namingStrategy>alias</namingStrategy>
<ports>
<port>8080:8080</port>
</ports>
<volumes>
<from>
<image>application</image>
</from>
</volumes>
<env>
<CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_HOME>/maven</CITRUS_ADMIN_PROJECT_HOME>
</env>
<wait>
<http>
<url>http://localhost:8080/setup</url>
<method>GET</method>
<status>200</status>
</http>
<time>60000</time>
<shutdown>500</shutdown>
</wait>
<log>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<color>green</color>
</log>
</run>
</image>
<image>
<alias>application</alias>
<name>application:${project.version}</name>
<build>
<assembly>
<descriptorRef>project</descriptorRef>
</assembly>
</build>
</image>
</images>
</configuration>
</plugin>Now you can build the images locally with Maven calling
mvn docker:build
After that you should have a set of new images on your Docker host. You can run these images as Docker container.
mvn docker:start
The Citrus administration UI is a web application that uses Spring boot and Angular2. First of all download the latest distribution which is a Java WAR file located at labs.consol.de/maven/repository:
curl -o citrus-admin.war https://labs.consol.de/maven/repository/com/consol/citrus/citrus-admin-web/1.0.3/citrus-admin-web-1.0.3-executable.war
Save the Java web archive to a folder on your local machine and start the Spring boot web application. The downloaded artifact should be executable from command line like this:
java -jar citrus-admin.war
You will see the application starting up. Usually you will see some console log output. The web server should start within seconds. Once the application is up and running you can open your browser and point to http://localhost:8080.
That's it you are ready to use the Citrus administration UI. Next thing to do is to create or open a project.
After forking/cloning the source code repository from https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus-admin you can build the application locally with Maven:
mvn clean install
You can start the web server as Spring Boot application.
mvn -pl citrus-admin-web spring-boot:run
For active development and a short round trip you can use the angular-cli dev-server in order to automatically compile typescript sources on the fly when they change.
mvn -pl citrus-admin-client package -Pdevelopment
If you change a source file (e.e *.js, *.ts, *.css) the sources will automatically be compiled and copied to the Maven target folder. The running spring-boot application is able to automatically grab the newly compiled sources. Just go to the browser and hit refresh to see the changes. If you change server Java sources spring-boot automatically restarts the web application so you may just hit refresh in your browser, too.
The development server is running on its own port 4200 (http://localhost:4200). To avoid cors issues an api proxy to the backend is provided out of the box. You can configure the proxy settings in proxy.conf.json.
At the moment we are focused on supporting standard Citrus projects using Maven, TestNG/JUnit and Java 8.
