Interface Deployer

public interface Deployer

The Deployer interface describes how to deploy manually controlled Deployment's during test execution.

By default Deployment's are managed by Arquillian, which mean Arquillian will perform the deploy and undeploy operations for you automatically in the background. In some cases you might want a more fine grained control over the deployment lifecycle. e.g. You might need to test some kind of auto discovery feature of your application that happens during startup? In this case you can define a Deployment to not be Deployment.managed() = false and use the Deployer to manually deploy and undeploy them at your own will.

Usage Example:

 @Deployment(name = "X", managed = false)
 public static WebArchive create() {
      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class);
 }

 @ArquillianResource
 private Deployer deployer;

 @Test
 public void shouldDeployX() {
      deployer.deploy("X");
 }
