== Further Pipeline Testing

Sometimes you might need to test more sophisticated things, as a restarting Jenkins and want to verify that the changes are still present.

`RestartableJenkinsRule` is part of the Jenkins testing framework and provides an easy way to simulate restarting Jenkins in your tests without actually restarting the Jenkins instance.

You can use the `then()` method to run one Jenkins session and shut down.

I lack fundamental skills in the use of RestartableJenkinsRule, so I'm not a great reviewer of this pull request. My apologies in advance for mistakes that I may make in the review process.

Since the example uses a FreeStyleProject, I think that the section heading should be changed from "Testing Durable Pipeline Steps" to "Testing Jenkins Restart". The example looks reasonable to me as a way to show that a FreeStyleProject build status persisted across a restart.

I think the job type used in the test should be referenced using the phrase "Freestyle job", the phrase "Freestyle project", or the Java class name "FreeStyleProject". The first two forms are used elsewhere in the www.jenkins.io documentation and the third is used in the example source code.

[source,java]

import hudson.model.FreeStyleProject;
import org.jvnet.hudson.test.RestartableJenkinsRule;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;

public class MyPluginTest {

@Rule
public RestartableJenkinsRule rr = new RestartableJenkinsRule();

@Test
public void testPluginAfterRestart() {
rr.then(r -> {
// Set up the test environment
// e.g., create a job, configure your plugin, etc.
FreeStyleProject project = r.createFreeStyleProject("myJob");
// let's execute one build
project.scheduleBuild2(0).get();
});

// now we want to verify things after the restart
rr.then(r -> {
// get first project
FreeStyleProject p = (FreeStyleProject) r.getInstance().getAllItems().get(0);
// verify that it is still successfully
r.assertBuildStatusSuccess(p.getBuild("1"));
});
}
}
