test-execution-chart for Maven

[sobelek]

Hey.
@platan

I recently wanted to use test-execution-chart in Maven project and to my suprise it's gradle only plugin.
I am thinking about implementing the same functionality for maven and wanted to discuss possible solutions.

Do you think it would be feasible to do multi build system project or it would be better to either split it into totally separate project with shared common code?

Hi @sobelek. Great idea. Think both approaches can be used. No matter which one we choose this project must be refactored to have at least two modules - first with common code (independent from Gradle API) and second with plugin (Gradle API). If you want I can prepare these modules. Let me know if you want.

One repo with two plugins allows to keep both plugins synchronized with all features.
On the other hand a separate repo for new plugin should be easier to set up. One option is to start with a separate repo and then merge both projects.

I'm fine with both approaches. Feel free to choose the one which is better for you.

Awesome! Let's start with separate repo. You can start working on splitting current code into 2 modules and I will start reaserching maven plugin API. I already started it a little bit and so far it looks like there is no way of getting start and endtime of test. Only duration. So possibly we would also need to rework plugin API to allows:

• saving test start time separetly and storing it
• later on saving duration
• at the end merging it

Just to be clear. There is no way to get start and end of test at once but there is a way to get start and duration in a separate steps? start+end or start+duration are crucial to draw a chart. Just duration is not enough.

I've started work on extracting common code. You can see current results here https://github.com/platan/tests-execution-chart/compare/split-api?expand=1

commons module is published to https://github.com/features/packages. You can see it here
https://github.com/platan/tests-execution-chart/packages/1933174.

I'm using it for the first time and I think it's not the best solution, since you have to authenticate to GH if you want to use artifacts from it (docs).
build.gradle.kts:

repositories {
    maven {
        url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/platan/tests-execution-chart")
        credentials {
            username = System.getenv("USERNAME")
            password = System.getenv("TOKEN")
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("io.github.platan:tests-execution-chart-commons:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
}

But it works. In the future I plan to publish it to Maven Central Repository.
