How to set "category" using maven goals - Junit integration

Hi Leo,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! In the meantime, you could use the the startTest goal in the Maven Plugin that uses the REST interface we introduced in dynaTrace 5.5. The caveat here is that you have to make sure the dtTestrunID is set as a system property on the JVM running your tests so the dynaTrace server knows which PurePaths belong to a certain test run.

A plugin configuration would then look like this:

    
        dynaTrace
        dtAutomation
        5.6
    
...

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-failsafe-plugin
    2.17
    
        once
        -agentpath:"C:\Program Files\dynaTrace\dynaTrace 6.0.0\agent\lib64\dtagent.dll"=name=${dynaTrace.agentGroup}_${dynaTrace.profileName},server=${dynaTrace.collector}
        
            
                com.dynatrace.diagnostics.ci.testrunID
                ${dtTestrunID}
            
        
    
    
        
            
                integration-test
                verify
            
        
    


    dynaTrace
    dtAutomation
    5.6
    
        
            DT_StartTest_IntegrationTest
            
                1
                2
                3
                5
                ${BUILD_ID}
                performance
                ${dynaTrace.profileName}
                admin
                admin
                http://localhost:8020
                
            
            pre-integration-test
            
                startTest
            
        
    

However, directly calling the REST interface with the required information should also work. Could share more detail (error message, log output,...) about what the problem was?

Wolfgang,

Thank you for your prompt response. We're using dt5.6 and dtAutomation\3.5\dtAutomation.jar\com\dynatrace\diagnostics\automation\maven\ does not have the DtStartTest goal.  As you said this RESTful call was introduced in dt 5.5, but the Automation library packaged for maven (dtAutomation41ForMaven-7.zip) has never been updated. What should be our course of action?  Should we start using the latest version of the Automation library (dynatrace.diagnostics.automation_5.6.0.5713-1.zip)?

Thanks,

Leo

Thank you, Wolfgang.
