Running integration tests with surefire in integration-test phase

The Maven Failsafe Plugin is a fork of the Maven Surefire Plugin designed to help when running integration tests. However, sometimes you may want to use Surefire for integration testing. The situation may be even more complicated if have unit tests and integration tests in the same module. The solution isn’t very pretty but it’s still quite short and understandable…

New HTTP Logger Grails plugin

I've wrote a new Grails plugin - httplogger. It logs:

  • request information (url, headers, cookies, method, body),
  • grails dispatch information (controller, action, parameters),
  • response information (elapsed time and body).

It is mostly useful for logging your REST traffic. Full HTTP web pages can be huge to log and generally waste your space. I suggest to map all of your REST controllers with the same path in UrlMappings, e.g. /rest/ and configure this plugin with this path.

Here is some simple output just to give you a taste of it.

17:16:00,331 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,340 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,342 INFO  filters.LogGrailsUrlsInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,731 INFO  filters.LogOutputResponseFilter  - >> #1 returned 200, took 405 ms.
17:16:00,745 INFO filters.LogOutputResponseFilter - >> #1 responded with '{count:0}'
17:18:55,799 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:18:55,799 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:18:55,800 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:18:55,801 INFO  filters.LogOutputResponseFilter  - >> #2 returned 404, took 3 ms.
17:18:55,802 INFO filters.LogOutputResponseFilter - >> #2 responded with ''

Official plugin information can be found on Grails plugins website here: http://grails.org/plugins/httplogger or you can browse code on github: TouK/grails-httplogger.
