Maven Integration SortSite Developer Manual

Maven is is tool for building and managing Java-based projects.

To test build outputs using SortSite Developer with Maven:

1. Make sure the built app or site is available via an HTTP server (e.g. http://localhost/build-output or http://your-staging-server/ )
2. Create a SortSiteCmd configuration file setting ProcessURL to the build output URL setup in the previous step
3. To flag a build failure when any issues are detected, set the ExpectedResults element in the XML configuration file
4. Add a Maven exec:exec goal similar to this:

<configuration>
  <executable>SortSiteCmd.exe</executable>
  <workingDirectory>c:\Program Files (x86)\PowerMapper Software\SortSite 6</workingDirectory>
  <arguments>
    <argument>Test.ssconfig</argument>
  </arguments>
</configuration>

Note: The following exec-maven-plugin issues may cause problems running Windows .exes from Maven:

• Fails to launch Windows batch script located in path containing blank
• Execution of Windows executables broken in 1.5.0 (fixed in 1.6.0)
• Detection for Win32 .cmd/.bat should only look at the file name (fixed in 1.6.0)
