The upcoming Quarkus 2 release is bringing a new level of Developer Joy. Previously, Quarkus developers were enlightened with live reloading witch in itself is a pretty outstanding way to develop a Java microservice. Quarkus 2 is bringing continuous testing feature which will enable developers to run unit test in a live reloading fashion.

Morning

After his morning routine, the quarkus developer boots his computer and opens his project in his preferable IDE. The developer takes a sip of his coffee and then opens his terminal and

./mvnw clean quarkus:dev

the developer is greeted

Tests paused, press [r] to resume

The developers awesome project has started up and is ready to start the day of coding. The developer, which had forgotten the last state he left his code decides to run his tests.

The developer presses [r]

The developer shocked by his mistake takes action to fix the problem.

Coding Intensifies

The developer fixes the problem and observes the following

2021-06-27 10:01:20,681 INFO  [io.qua.dep.dev.RuntimeUpdatesProcessor] (Test Compile Timer) Changed source files detected, recompiling GreetingResourceTest.java

The developer, taking a sip of coffee, sees that the tests have run automatically without even needing to trigger the tests or restart the awesome project.

Afternoon

The developer, triumphing his morning code session is met with a new challenge. The already awesome project needs to store data to be even more awesome.

The developer cracks his knuckles and adds the database dependency.

./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="quarkus-hibernate-orm,quarkus-jdbc-postgresql"

The developer strikes [⏎]

Takes several sips of his coffee

Tests paused, press [r] to resume


The maven dependency are downloaded automatically, and a zero config postgres database docker is provided without the need to restart the awesome project.

The developer, reruns the test to see everything is still working.

The developer presses [r]

All 2 tests are passing (0 skipped), 2 tests were run in 11131ms.
Press [r] to re-run, [v] to view full results, [p] to pause, [h] for more options>

More options?

The developer, astonished that he is still running the same quarkus dev mode he ran in the morning wonders if there is any other feature.

The developer presses [h]


The following commands are available:
[r] - Re-run all tests
[f] - Re-run failed tests
[b] - Toggle 'broken only' mode, where only failing tests are run (disabled)
[v] - Print failures from the last test run
[o] - Toggle test output (disabled)
[p] - Pause tests
[i] - Toggle instrumentation based reload (disabled)
[l] - Toggle live reload (enabled)
[s] - Force live reload scan
[h] - Display this help

Broken Only?

The developer, in which is about to develop the datastore for the awesome project enables 'broken only' mode.

The developer presses [b]

2021-06-27 13:40:00,999 INFO  [io.qua.dep.dev.tes.TestSupport] (Aesh InputStream Reader) Broken only mode enabled

Coding Intensifies

The developer, practitioner of test driven development continues to add the datastore to the awesome project and adds the required test.

All 3 tests are passing (0 skipped), 1 tests were run in 1562ms.

The developers, previous test were not broken. Therefore, only the additional test was runned.

Refactoring

The technical depth has increased due to intense coding sessions. The developer, sees it necessary to do a refactor. During the refactoring of the awesome project the developer chooses to pause the continuous testing.

The developer presses [p]
