I'm trying to use Citrus to build a configurable mockup that I'd like to run from the command line passing different parameters to the test each time I run it.
I tried to use this as a reference to get started https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/issues/325 but could not get it to work in my case.
I've got a running test running with one test case inside and I can run it like that
mvn clean verify -Dit.test=myTest#myTestCase
But when trying to run the following app:
package com.grge.citrus;
import com.consol.citrus.dsl.design.DefaultTestDesigner;
import com.consol.citrus.Citrus;
import com.consol.citrus.context.TestContext;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import com.grge.citrus.*;
import com.consol.citrus.dsl.testng.TestNGCitrusTestDesigner;
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String suiteName = "mySuite";
Citrus citrus = Citrus.newInstance();
// my test with one testcase inside
TestNGCitrusTestDesigner myTest = new MyTest();
try {
citrus.beforeSuite(suiteName);
// This works it come from the sample
citrus.run(new SampleJavaDslTest().getTestCase());
// fails null pointer exception
citrus.run(myTest.getTestCase());
citrus.afterSuite(suiteName);
} finally {
((ConfigurableApplicationContext) citrus.getApplicationContext()).close();
}
}
private static class SampleJavaDslTest extends DefaultTestDesigner {
public SampleJavaDslTest() {
super();
echo("Hello from Java DSL!");
}
}
}
It fails with the following error

Effectively using the debugger I can see that when entering the try section, myTest has:
and many other attributes set to null and so the testDesigner.getTestCase() raise an Exception
Thx
Since Citrus 2.7 the framework provides a main CLI class that does exactly what you want:
Citrus application option usage:
-h or --help = Displays cli option usage
-d or --duration = Maximum time in milliseconds the server should be up and running - server will terminate automatically when time exceeds
-c or --config = Custom Spring configuration class
-s or --skipTests = Skip test execution
-p or --package = Test package to execute
-D or --properties = Default system properties to set
-e or --exit = Force system exit when finished
-t or --test = Test class/method to execute
-j or --jar = External test jar to load tests from
