Quarkus Continuous Testing

Quarkus enhances productivity and efficiency, allowing developers to focus on writing high-quality code.

• Write Any Java Code:

  • Quarkus supports simple standard Java code, enabling developers to utilize familiar programming paradigms and libraries.

• Live Reload:

  • With Quarkus, changes made to your code are automatically detected, and your application is reloaded instantly. This feature allows for rapid iteration and testing, making the development process smoother and faster.

• Continuous Testing:

  • Quarkus provides a robust testing framework that runs your tests automatically every time you make a change to your code. This ensures that you receive immediate feedback on the impact of your changes, helping you catch issues early in the development cycle.

• Minimal dependencies

  • This project has only ARC (Quarkus Dependency Injection Containter) and Junit5 dependencies. Dependency injection is not used.

Getting Started

To start using Quarkus with Live Reload and Continuous Testing, run the following command in your terminal and use the CLI menu options:

mvn quarkus:dev

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using:

./mvnw package

It produces the quarkus-run.jar file in the target/quarkus-app/ directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/quarkus-app/lib/ directory.

The application is now runnable using java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar.

If you want to build an über-jar, execute the following command:

./mvnw package -Dquarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar

The application, packaged as an über-jar, is now runnable using java -jar target/*-runner.jar.

Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using:

./mvnw package -Dnative

Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:

./mvnw package -Dnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

You can then execute your native executable with: ./target/code-with-quarkus-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner
