Documentation / Installation

Documentation is available on our Documentation Wiki please check also the documentation from the parent DSpace project as basic features and principle are common and only described in the DSpace documentation.

The latest DSpace Installation instructions are available here. Some extra step to initialize the DSpace-CRIS with proper default can be found in our documentation (see above).

Please be aware that, as a Java web application, DSpace-CRIS requires a database (PostgreSQL or Oracle), a servlet container (usually Tomcat) and a SOLR instance in order to function.

More information about these and all other prerequisites can be found in the Installation instructions above.

NOTE: At this time, we do not have production-ready Docker images for DSpace-CRIS. That said, we do have quick-start Docker Compose scripts for development or testing purposes.

Testing

Running Tests

By default, in DSpace, Unit Tests and Integration Tests are disabled. However, they are run automatically by GitHub Actions for all Pull Requests and code commits.

• How to run both Unit Tests (via maven-surefire-plugin) and Integration Tests (via maven-failsafe-plugin):

  mvn install -DskipUnitTests=false -DskipIntegrationTests=false
  

• How to run only Unit Tests:

  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false
  

• How to run a single Unit Test

  # Run all tests in a specific test class
  # NOTE: failIfNoTests=false is required to skip tests in other modules
  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName] -DfailIfNoTests=false
  
  # Run one test method in a specific test class
  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName]#[testMethodName] -DfailIfNoTests=false
  

• How to run only Integration Tests

  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false
  

• How to run a single Integration Test

  # Run all integration tests in a specific test class
  # NOTE: failIfNoTests=false is required to skip tests in other modules
  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false -Dit.test=[full.package.testClassName] -DfailIfNoTests=false
  
  # Run one test method in a specific test class
  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false -Dit.test=[full.package.testClassName]#[testMethodName] -DfailIfNoTests=false
  

• How to run only tests of a specific DSpace module

  # Before you can run only one module's tests, other modules may need installing into your ~/.m2
  cd [dspace-src]
  mvn clean install
  
  # Then, move into a module subdirectory, and run the test command
  cd [dspace-src]/dspace-server-webapp
  # Choose your test command from the lists above
