Migration from OpenDaylight to lighty.io

This guide describes the migration procedure from OpenDaylight/Karaf application to lighty.io. It contains a summary of practical experiences, based on real-life OpenDaylight project migrations.

Run JUnit & IT tests

lighty.io project contains JUnit & integration tests. Because a complete OpenDaylight/lighty.io controller is often started with south-bound and north-bound plugins, these tests are often required. IT tests are comparable with single-feature tests in ODL/Karaf environment - but much faster.

Before starting IT tests, please make sure that ports 8080, 8888, 8185, 2550 are free on localhost.

To run unit and integration tests, use the command:

mvn clean install
