'Use ArchUnit As Adapter to Run Architecture Test Based on External AnalyzeClasses

I am trying to do one example with ArchUnit where passing the AnalyzeClasses can be dynamic based on for which Adapter Application the test need run.

For Example:

@AnalyzeClasses(packages = "${archtest.scan.package}", importOptions = { ImportOption.DoNotIncludeTests.class, ImportOption.DoNotIncludeJars.class })
public class ArchitectureTests {

}

And from application.properties file it should allow to pass the packages to analyze dynamically, so any application using this Application as Jar library can provide the scan classes in its properties file. As below.

archtest.scan.package=com.example.pkgname

I am not sure what is the right way to pick up the dynamic value from property and pass that into @AnalyzeClasses Annotation. I am looking for some help or any example in this regard.

I don't think that ArchUnit's JUnit 4 & 5 support – in the current version 0.23.1 – allows for dynamic packages configured via an application.properties.

But instead of using @AnalyzeClasses, you can always just invoke new ClassFileImporter().import… and pass any dynamic runtime values you like.
(Note that ArchUnit's JUnit support also introduces a clever cache to reuse imported JavaClasses by multiple @ArchTests, but storing JavaClasses in a static field may be also good enough.)
